ffs another subscription? nah im good with my cracked spotify thanks

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T19:30:56.000Z

yeah but spotify keeps pulling stuff from nz artists. at least with this they get paid properly

lol 'buy-to-own' in 2026? what is this, 2005? good luck competing with streaming giants mate

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T19:29:56.000Z

yeah nah I'm over paying monthly for everything. if this lets me actually own songs for a fair price I'm in. tired of stuff disappearing when I cancel

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T20:10:56.000Z

exactly mate. i've spent hundreds on streaming but own nothing. feels like renting

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T19:42:56.000Z

interesting idea but who actually wants to 'own' digital music anymore? just pay $10 and stream whatever. seems like a solution looking for a problem

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T20:36:56.000Z

facts. renting music is dumb when you think about it

Grace Patel2026-07-16T20:18:56.000Z

lume? sounds like a dodgy vape brand mate

Corin Dann writing puff pieces again. this is basically a paid ad for your mates' business. journalism dead
