    Found iTunes impossible to uninstall back in the Win7 days and never used it since. Also Spotify exists and is still acceptable enough to use so…

      There’s still people like me who want to buy digital albums. A lot of artists refuse to put their music on Bandcamp but have music on itunes

        Well, when there’s a service problem, I’d rather sail than ‘buying’ digital.

          I don’t wan to pay for music i don’t own, the free version of Spotify is pretty useless due to the severe limitations, spotify grayed a lot of songs in my playlists because of uncleared samples and I also want to support artists when I can afford it

          Since i’m not paying for streaming services, I can’t download the tracks for offline playback and on Spotify the limit is 10k tracks but my library is over 40k tracks.I also think local players are better than sttreaming services players. My music player Musicolet is the only music player that allows me to create queues so i don’t have to remember the latest track i listened to on every playlists

          I don’t want to take care of physical media due to my disorganization, I also listen to music a lot outside so I have to own the digital version too. Music released on CD is become more rare anyway. I also like the flexibility of digital music locally I can back it up in multiple places, I can remove bad songs easily and i can bring my music everywhere instead of bringing a collection of cd’s and can risk of forgetting them . I’m also not an audiophile I can’t even hear the difference between 128 kbps and 320 kbps MP3’s, I value artistic quality and not audio quality.
