My guilty pleasure music is early 2000's Swedish disco music made by child singers.

YouTube

their dancing isn't even in sync

the fuck

it's my childhood man

I unironically have a bunch of Naruto and Bleach openings and endings I bought off iTunes.

why

They're pretty catchy. Too bad Naruto's best opening isn't on iTunes.

why

What's wrong with iTunes?

Why would you ever get anything on iTunes.

I still buy CD's depending on what it is. I bought the physical copy of every FFXIV OST from Square Enix but when it comes to an individual song, it doesn't make sense to buy an entire CD for a single track when I can just get the one song I want for literally a dollar. Also if I'm buying a disc chances are I'm going to just go get from Amazon so I of course also have to pay for shipping and wait for it to come to me whereas I get the song instantly and save significantly more money.

Also I'm pretty sure iTunes strikes a deal with the artist when they put their songs up for sale on their store. Meaning the artist doesn't lose anything from people purchasing their tracks on iTunes.

They're a tertiary middleman that robs artists and encourages buying only one song from an album, which is detrimental to art, and cuts even further into the earnings of musicians.

If you're going to pay for music, buy CDs.

I literally just said iTunes is evil because it allows people to buy individual songs, how can your counterargument be "it lets me buy individual songs"

It's iTunes' fault that Tower Records and Hastings are out of business,

If you ever buy just one song instead of the whole album, you're a terrible person.

I don't think Apple should be blamed when those companies refused to adapt to a changing market. iTunes is not the only distributor of single tracks. I would still like my question answered: What sense does it make for me to spend more than eight-ten bucks for an album of an artist that I don't know about when I only want one track?

It's about making sure that artists are properly compensated, and that the art form isn't destroyed.

That's why Prince released CDs as a single track, so people couldn't skip around and only listen to a specific part.

You don't deserve to listen to a song if you didn't get the album.

lmao how pretentious can you be

this is like saying you can only watch TV shows seasons at a time

you shouldn't be forced to sit through an entire album of songs you hate just because you like a single one in it

Not every time, but always the first time.

How is it degeneracy? If an artist chooses to let you buy individual tracks why is that a problem?

You shouldn't have the option to only buy a fraction of it, it's a practice in degeneracy.
