I'm sorry but I just hate the whole debate about paying for music. It's a topic that is so easy for people to get on their high horse about, as if paying full price makes you a better fan.

 

And I really don't have a problem with music being consumed for free. I think any artist worth their salt should always want their art to reach as wide an audience as possible always. And why is listening to music for free on YouTube de-valuing it? It's not like there won't always be money to be made in music. That's what touring and merchandising are for anyway.

 

Im sorry if you think I took it too far but, frankly, I stand by this one. I'm tired of all the casual comments from people on music boards turning their nose up on free music consumption as if it's killing the industry.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Because when they they go to iTunes they see the first column every time. It's more accessible and easier to see than songs on the third and fourth row

His team chose loyalty, made a video, discount the song on itunes, but gonna flop, even with Rihanna... 

 

Love is the obvious and better choice

Why do people always jump to this conclusion? First of all, I'm a musician and songwriter, so I promise you I absolutely think music has plenty of worth. But come on! Don't act like label execs care more about the music than the bottom line.

 

Plus, I'm sorry, but $1.29 is crazy. I used to burn mixes and it would cost over $30 just to burn a CD's worth. I had to limit myself to one CD a month. And that was only when I got more money. I spent years where I could hardly listen to music beyond what was on the radio because it was too expensive. Now, I simply pay for Spotify premium and I can get as many mixes as I want a month. Why do people act like that is de-valuing music??

 

Like... sometimes I really get tired of some music fans. Like... good for you. You can afford to spend $1.29 on every half decent song that comes out but some people don't have that luxury.

I agree with this. My music experience has been enriched so much by streaming. Especially with older music or genres I don't typically listen to.
