I have a Spotify premium account, which given its download function combined with a dirty big memory card on my phone means that I can listen to pretty much anything I want on my commute for 10 bucks a month. My younger self would have considered this witchcraft. So why doesn't it feel as nice as actually owning the physical product? Is it the tactile nature of the product? Or is it the feeling that you've not made a commitment to the music? ("I've bought Hot Space so I have to give it a chance").

It was the Very Best of Dee-Lite and you already know which song. It was in Rome, early 2000s and even as I buying I was thinking how silly it was to do this. Shortly after, Peter Gabriel's OVI mp3 store arrived, followed by iTunes. And that put an end to to that. I don't get why people don't like mp3s.Hawkfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869783230626158753noreply@blogger.com
