Is 1989 Karaoke Version still on Spotify???
Because I can still streaming it via Nokia MixRadio.
And there's still having Speak Now, Fearless and her debut album
Nope, in Spotify you'll only find Love Story, YBWM, Safe & Sound, Eyes Open, Crazier and another Hannah Montana song.
I hate streaming anyway so
I like to own my things I got most of my music illegally hihi. I'll be broke af if I own everything I have in my library legally
I dont even use YouTube that much cause I've downloaded everything I'm going to play more than once
It's like I don't feel "safe" with streaming, I feel like I'm going to lose them anytime.
Anyway, my stance on streaming is... You really do not deserve to get everything legally without paying a cent. If they're going to be fee then only a few selected tracks from an album should be free or they should put a limit on number of plays for free users.
Exactly.
That whole music should be free story is laughable. No, it shouldnt be free. Theres a lot of money, effort and time involved in making music, so why should it be given away like its nothing?
If you cant pay for it you have youtube or zippyshare, like its always been.
Like, what is there to talk about? Taylor's leg scratch from meredith which magically disappeared? Taylor and Calvin dating? Taylor and how Style is flopping? Been there done that.
Bitch doesn't even even care about the 1989 era anymore, why would us fans be?
Preach Thank God I'm preoccupied with my other fave. There's really nothing to talk about Taylor or her career anymore.
I agree with you. I think that you will see the quality of music go up with TIDAL. I also happen to think that Spotify's free-tier is eventually going to come to an end. Why?
1. Taylor Swift set an example, and these other artists -- Jay Z, Rihanna, Madonna, Beyonce, etc. have jumped on her bandwagon. Other artists may follow. Well what will happen with Spotify, when all the major artists start leaving them. No one is going to be using Spotify if the Major Artists are not there.
2. It is the Major Labels that control Spotify and not the other way around. Universal Music Groups CEO: Lucien Grainge has stated that the current Music scene cannot be supported by Spotify's ad-sponsored free-tier. And they are up for renegotiation in the summer. What happens when Grainge decides to pull the plug.
3. You have been seeing references all over the internet, especially by Borschetta and TIDAL: 'The concept that music has value". They are trying to get that point across to users, perhaps, because something is going to happen to end the free-tier.
4. Of course, everyone wants things for free, but that is not possible. It could never be possible. I think a lot of people are upset with TIDAL, especially ATRL'rs because of the fact that the free-tier services may be coming to an end soon. But they need to reassess things from a music industry standpoint. Look at any product out there. Can you walk into a store and get a package of gum for free, not unless you steal it. Let us say that everyone decides to get gum for free, the gum company is going to say "To hell with it; we won't make any more gum". This is what they mean by value. You want value, then you have to pay for it.
5. One of Spotify's main arguments about the free-tier was that it prevents illegal downloading. But this is really a cop-out. It is the same as the gum example I provided. Well, I will let you have the gum so that you don't steal it. Same thing with music. They want to give it away so that no one steals it. But this does not make sense. Any form of stealing is illegal, so how about making the rules and penalties over illegal downloading stronger, instead. And I think there are experts on this who are working on a plan to do away with illegal downloading.
6. I think also that too many fans have it set in their mind that music is their right to have for free; They say I want you to give me free music. Well, then, what do you think happens: Artists will start cutting costs; especially artists that depend on other writers (they do have to pay them, although, this does not apply to Swift as she is her own writer. But just saying, there is production, publishing, marketing (and all these go into the quality of the music). If Artists do not receive any sort of payment for these items, then they may end up using a broken-string guitar and have their two-year old children create lyrics for them (I am just exaggerating), but you get the point. So, I really think that those who want free music should get over themselves and look at the reality instead. Sure, if advertising could pay for it all that would be great, but again, Grainge of Universal is saying that is not feasible.
Sorry for ranting on, but I like trying to get a point across.
I completely agree with you
I think Spotify will suffer from this, even if it keeps being bigger than TIDAL (TIDAL just arrived to the market and Spotify has been here for some years), some users will start changing, and if some artists take their music down from spotify like Taylor I can see them having to take down the free-service
But I just don't get why ATRL hate TIDAL that much, if you don't like it, just ignore it
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
Now it's just too late
Well, could’ve been easy, all you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was stay
Shake If Off/Blank Space/Style vs Shower/Can't Stop Dancing/Lovin' So Hard?
I definitely vote the latter. So much effortless perfection. Doesn't sound belaboured or try hard, no chintzy production, no scratchy vocal and the melodies just HIT like cocaine.
