I hadn't even considered that Logitech would receive a revenue share from services like Spotify going through its servers.
It made sense to me that they would want power and control, but to what end, I couldn't fathom. Of course it would be money. The puzzle completes itself. For some reason I don't like Spotify. I hang strongly towards owning and controlling my own collection. I admit that the cost of listening to new music is higher - in terms of effort required. But I think digital music should be free, a donation service, so to speak. Artist donates music; you donate money. It's not a world we live in, I can't help that. I wouldn't mind buying some credit to purchase a few hours of listening, but these services want your subscription and your loyalty. I took a month of Last.fm subscription some weeks ago, but I lost interest already. After the first day. On Bandcamp.com you can listen to albums for free. It's a different world right. I don't consider it natural to pay money as some sort of tax for the right to listen to music. It's like an oxygen tax; required for your right to breathe. Taxman by the Beatles comes to mind. If they could, they'd tax your use of the hammers you own. And they'd try to sell you a hammer that would only work with the nails sold by the same company, and require you to sign a user agreement that would subject you to penalties should you try it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xenthar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96188 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
