streaming has a history of being data intrusive. and buying from most online stores show itemized music receipts to the credit card company (and don’t typically allow giftcards). buying in person is nice, but harder to get new music.

any tips?

    Ideally one wouldn’t need to pay to experience a form of art

    Sure… music instruments and the electricity to feed a stage are free.

      Absolutely not, I did not implying that, the post is about digital reproduction/ownership of music (if I haven’t misunderstood it)

      And that is, basically, free, a very “low” cost of copying bytes. What we pay on Spotify and Apple Music are not the artists, not their instruments or recording hardware or mastering software.

      We pay the intermediaries.

      Concerts, museums, theatres, etc, have high costs so I’m completely fine for them to cost money to the visitors.
