Do you download or stream music?

[Alienfish]

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.

yeah that'd kill my phone too since i have some game apps that does it very well too. i prefer my mp3player since you don't need internet for it other than getting music lol

 

[Weiland]

Normally I'll just stream it with Spotify (and if I can't afford it, I'll download it with an MP3 converter). I still buy CDs of albums I adore. My most notable include (I've highlighted my favourites):
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Nirvana - Nevermind, In Utero, Unplugged in New York
Paramore - All We Know Is Falling, Riot, Brand New Eyes, After Laughter
Blink-182 - Enema of the State
Green Day - American Idiot
Brand New - Science Fiction

I don't buy music, I just download it online. I download it because I need it for offline listening.

 

[visibleghost]

uh i use spotify so i guess streaming ?? buying music to download isnt my thing lol

 

[Dawnpiplup]

I use YouTube to listen to music.

 

[KingofHearts]

I stream music through Spotify. When I want either Japanese anime music or video game music I use YouTube. I cannot recall the last time I had purchased music and downloaded it.

 

[Tao]

Download it.

There's enough times I can't connect to the internet to justify it, plus there's so many songs I like that just aren't on any streaming services.

 

[ali.di.magix]

A bit of both. Now that I think of it I probably stream it the most through YouTube, but if I want to update my offline playlists I will download them. I'm trying to give Spotify a shot recently because in the past I've disliked streaming but it doesn't seem too bad.

 

[pinkcotton]

I use Spotify with the family plan

 

[Marte]

Spotify mostly, sometimes Youtube

 

[broke]

I use Youtube a lot when I'm at home. But recently I've been using Spotify extensively at home and also when I'm away from home, listening to my downloaded music from the application.

 

[Buttonsy]

I almost exclusively stream music (primarily YouTube and Bandcamp but I made myself get a Spotify recently), but I occasionally buy tracks if they're from artists' that are relatively unpopular and might not be making that much money off their music.

 

[Chris]

Stream via Google Play Music.

 

[Stella-Io]

Use Youtube. I want to make a Playlist on there, but for the most part, if I look up one song from a band I like, it'll play all the songs I like. But sometimes I want to experience new music.

This wasn't an option, but I'm still archaic and buy CDs. Now I go to FYE and choose my own songs I like and have a custom made CD.

 

[Bcat]

I couldn't live without my spotify subscription. I play almost every day it in the car and at home.

YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME, COPPERS

me at 12 years old downloading songs off of Youtube to mp3

I couldn't live without my spotify subscription. I play almost every day it in the car and at home.

same here, once i started my first premium trial i couldn't go back to listening to music any other way. it's incredibly convenient and their selection of songs is pretty much unparalleled.

 

[Envy]

I get most of my music by buying digitally or buying CDs. I only use streaming for finding new music or listening to music I can't yet afford (or isn't available to purchase).

Right now I'm short on money and don't have any iTunes credit, so I'm doing more streaming than I normally do with new songs I would be buying if I had the money. Nevertheless, I really hate streaming for that purpose. Owning my music is 100% better.

 

[Adriel]

i still try to buy everything physically, so whether its burning a cd or using a download code from a vinyl record i buy my music

 

[LadyDestani]

I still like to buy physical CDs of my music, then I upload it to iTunes to listen to and create playlists. If I can't find a physical copy, like with some less popular foreign music, or if I just want a single song, I might download it. But I don't like streaming my music. I will check out new songs and artists this way, but if I like it enough I always buy it to support the artist.

 

[demoness]

the real truth is i'm a sociopathic consumer and i don't care about the cost of getting the thing i want to have, and have no concern for a musician's livelihood. i could try and justify it, but even if i couldn't i doubt i'd give up the convenience of streaming
