Actually, I kinda like the current way.

I can listen whatever I want via Spotify. If I like the album that much, I can buy it via iTunes or their store, however finding lossless versions are hard.

If I really love the album, I'll buy its vinyl.

If I don't plan to buy the vinyl, and can't find the lossless version or a decent priced CD, I buy the album online and find the lossless version elsewhere.

I'm a former orchestra player. I know how tedious and draining producing music is. It's unethical to just download it and let it be. Before, it was impossible to get decent music without being gouged, so I had to download some of the albums, but it's no more now. Buying prices are accessible, storage is ample, and syncing is easy.

There's no need to screw musicians over it.

I'm not a big movie buff anyway, so if I can stream it legally, I'm fine.

Try Bandcamp.


Ah, yes. I also buy a lot from there.
