Do you download or stream music?

[MayorTian]

Do you prefer owning the digital track and have it stored on your device, or have access to a library of virtually all the songs out there?

Mostly, nowadays I just go on Youtube or Spotify for my music needs. I do still tend to buy physical on music I really like tho.

 

[namiieco]

i do have a few of my favourite song downloaded onto my phone

Both. Spotify, youtube and iTunes downloads.

Stream. I just learned about a Student Discount with Spotify that discounts 50% of its service every month if you have verification of being enrolled in an eligible school. I'm basically paying less than a $1.40 monthly in my country which is pretty sweet.

I do listen to youtube, and otherwise I download from random music blogs (not using torrents, just direct sites lol).

Otherwise I just buy vinyls that I want, although since my taste is pretty narrow I don't have a lot lol

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

download. without VLC i wouldnt be able to change the playback speed of songs so i never stream

 

[mitfy]

i usually just use youtube. if i'm not using youtube then i'm using 8tracks.

 

[dizzy bone]

I have a couple songs on my iTunes on my phone that are my classic favourites. My music taste hasn't changed much for like 3 years, so even if I do update it now it wouldn't be like full new album releases or anything.. (plus I'm cheap so sometimes I just convert single YouTube songs into mp3s lol T_T) I just turn on Spotify at work because it's convenient and I like discovering new/old songs through there too.

 

[Psydye]

I usually torrent, although I also stream too.

I use Spotify, because I like to browse different playlists and I like the ability to create my own freely with basically any song I can think of. I use my boyfriend's Spotify, so we only pay for the one account and it works best this way for us.

 

[dedenne]

I like downloading

 

[ellarella]

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME, COPPERS

 

[Soigne]

both? stream when i'm at home with wifi or at school, download when i need music on the road because coverage is total **** and nothing will stream when not on wifi

 

[honeymoo]

I use spotify usually. I do buy CDs and vinyls though for music I really like.

 

[Romaki]

I just stream it. Also downloaded a few gaming OST I own just in case.

 

[Corrie]

I download so that I have the music and can listen to it without wifi/data.

 

[amemome]

i download and purchase when i can. streaming kills my phone battery and i have pretty niche tastes in music so it's easier to download/buy than to stream.

 

[PaperCat]

not often. i tend to just play music on youtube.

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

I mostly stream, I think it's convenient, and all of my old music that I had downloaded over the years in my teens is stuck on my laptop that barely works. It'd be a pain to try to transfer it all to my new computer, so my iPod is filled with old music. XD
