>>220254Ideally I would buy all my favorite albums on CD and use a combination of that and radio like in the olden days because I'm a pretentious hipster but Spotify has lots of indie music, not as much as SoundCloud or something, but it still has lots of lesser known bands, and the issue with music stores is that if they don't have a band you like in stock you're just shit outta luck, you could ask them to order one if it's something like Barnes & Noble I suppose but I don't know the situation at dedicated CD stores, what few of them exist nowadays. As for radio, SiriusXM is kind of strangling out local radio stations, it's actually kind of sad and insidious in the same way that Uber strangled out taxicabs in most cities. Sounds to me like maybe the FTC should do something about these big corporations essentially cornering the market on niche services ahaha but what do I know
