I’m not techy at all but I get rid of cds and dvds a long time ago as I could see where it was going. I just use YouTube now.

If I can buy on cd I will, I might transfer it onto laptop/mp3 player/phone.If its not available on cd I will download it and burn it on cd.I like things like sleeve notes, info on who produced it, where samples might be from.I have downloaded spotify but only used it once.I think downloading individual singles is very restricting on listening to other music by an artist. Ebay is great for cd's, you can buy an album for £3 so its no great loss if you only like half the music on it.

Check the 'purchase' agreement for a Tesla. If I read it correctly you aren't buying the car but a 'licence' to operate it 'in perpetuity'. But no obligation on Tesla to maintain vehicle operability 'in perpetuity'. Even the most basic level of operability let alone the 'advanced features'.

Am I correctly remembering that Tesla car owners were recently unable to unlock the doors etc, because Tesla's servers were down?

If I buy it , I want to actually have it , I like cd's even if you only ever copy them to your hard drive , make your own compilation cds etc , its that actual new disc in your hand bit I really like , I liked vinyl too at one point but actually prefer cds ,,, I even prefer the sound of cds too.

Welcome to the brave new subscription based world, doesn't matter if it is music, software, or physical items.
Sadly been going this way for many years now - why sell somebody something once, when you can rent it to them forever.
The same can be said for all the "free services". Nothing is free. As the adage goes - if you aren't paying for the product, then the product is you (or your data thesedays).

Wise words.
There was a guy who made his company huge and great with these thoughts, and that company was then renamed IBM...

I totally agree. According to Spotify Wrapped, I listened to 2300 artists this year, imagine buying 2300 albums!
Also, it's only £2.50 a month if you've got five mates who'll go in on a family plan with you.

A bit like Photobucket. A million excellent build threads ruined because they went from being a free online picture facility, to charging stupid money for membership, literally overnight.

The sound quality of mp3's is very poor,
If you want to 'listen' to the music, it needs to be vinyl, cd, large format digital or even reel to reel,
Modern recordings are a lot better than the older stuff though.

As for buying games. I've been using steam since it's inception. It's not gonna disappear anytime soon

thats what you think
not what the corps are saying there on about pulling there software off of steam to be posted on there servers
once they do your games wont work from steam
after all its a money game
sites like amazon, itunes have proven that its viable to make more money on there servers than sites with them on
why do you think disney and the discovery are now only showing via there servers
games will soon follow the same as its now proven a viable money making system why should steam or music or films sites cream it all when they can instead

Right o. Ea and epic both have they're own stores. They still peddle on steam.
Why.
User base is huge. Puts playstation and Xbox to shame
Took me by surprise.
Broke there own record again recently with 28million concurrent users.
Wonder how many people grabbed all the free games off epic over Xmas and never buy a game from them.
