>And the worse thing is that they only get away with it because the competition is worse.
I'd say it is because some form of digital / streaming music is what a lot of people want ...
Is having access to "all the music" that big of a deal for most people?
I just want music accessible to me, most platforms all provide that now, and it's all WAY MORE accessible than back in the day when I had binders of CDs.
If someone has 4,000,000 songs, or 8,000,000 I probably wouldn't know... I don't really care what the justification for either is.
