    That’s why so few people yarrr music. It’s pretty much accessible everywhere, on different platforms, for reasonable prices, with mostly good UIs. I mean, there’s always that person who has 10+ TB of FLAC files on their server and good for them but most people just pay the [equivalent of 10 USD] per month (or less on a family plan) to get access to everything at a reasonable quality (I mean, you get 1400 Kbit/s FLACs with Deezer Premium). As other people here have said, it’s always an access and convenience thing.

      Exactly. I used to carry an iPod with loads of music on it. So did everyone else. But these days, nobody even uses an MP3 player. Heck, I don’t have a single MP3 on my phone. Streaming through YouTube Music is all I really need. And it works great for my normie taste in music.

      Now, my brother is really into video game midi music and such, so he does have a digital collection of files. But for us normal people, downloading music is simply a thing of the past.
