fuzmeister: Streamin' n' Schemin'
AC/DC, one of the last major hold-outs, have finally made their catalog streamable on Spotify.
I know people are making next to nothing from streaming media, but this is the future, people. The userbase for Spotify and other streaming services is growing everyday - time to get with the program, bands!
Yeah, I definitely think the payment model needs to be worked out and revised, but it seems like you're only punishing yourself by not having your music available on modern delivery platforms.
Crossing my fingers we will one day see Tool and The Beatles available on these services... not holding my breath though.
Also worth mentioning - Apple music. I haven't used it, but what's the deal with this platform?
I can't wait for the hardcore Apple folks to act like Apple pioneered this stuff... what really bothers me about Apple is they get so much credit for basically refining existing technology. I give them credit where it's due for being damn good at polishing a user experience, but they very rarely have been the pioneer of this stuff... though so many people give them so much credit.
Oh well... perception vs. reality, I guess... isn't that the way it goes with respect to a lot of things?

Of course, there's always new music, but I'd rather buy it outright than pay for the permission to access it. If I'm going to spend $120-$180 a year on music, I'd rather use that money to buy 10-15 albums worth of music that I won't have to relinquish should I decide to end my subscription. Granted not everyone is leveraging a digital music collection that spans 20 years worth of purchases.
