Music survey

[AlTech]

Hi all,

 

I've lately been interested in an idea and that's what inspired this. An idea about how we pay for music and how wrong it is (the method of doing so not the act of doing so).

 

Survey link -> https://onedrive.live.com/redir?page=survey&resid=CD679EA89B4BB9BE!96008&authkey=!AOPIiH1ep3vajRU&ithint=file%2cxlsx

 

Thanks

 

Side Note - I'm using Excel Online now instead of Google Forms for the survey.

 

Do you like the change or not?

 

Let me know in the comments below.

Depending on internet quality it might take a bit of time to load. That's my only gripe.

How Is paying for a produced product wrong? Not that I would pay 1 cent to listen to the shitty music that Is crapped out today...

(did I hurt your feelings with saying I didnt like the music and now youre gonna rage post? Dont expect an answer...)

(Also, wth Is Pandora here and not Youtube?)

[AlTech]

Lol. I love how some consider 1.5Mb/s High quality only.

 

And i love how some listen to well over 100+ songs a day.

Think I'd rather use G forums, this isn't exactly the best when it comes to loading times.

 

One rather big problem I see is that you've set it out as as if people are doing one or the other. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's willing to pay for a decent album but obtains most of their collection through 'Jack Sparrow's pass' if you get what I mean.

 

It also seems to be a common theme with your questions... You either do this, or that, or you only do this.

The way we're doing it is wrong. 

 

With the idea of paying per song. You pay artists more directly and pay more to them than through monthly subscriptions.

 

so 70% of say $0.05 would go to A record label and an artist might get paid $0.01 or $0.02 . This is better than what currently happens. Spotify pays record labels less than a faction of a cent. it's tiny.

I'll try and fix that in the future.

Next time i'll go back to Google

 

Sorry 'bout that

I tend to listen to the radio on google play music based on artists that I've already listened to, I wouldn't want to be paying for a song if I didn't even know if I was going to like it. 

Loads just fine for me, then again I'm on a 400mbps connection..

btw: to add to mine, i use VLC on my computer and macbook but google play music on my iphone, that's why i entered other and 10 euros per month

Well, considering most artist dont actually write their own songs, I doubt they deserve the bigger cut...

In a perfect world I'd pay 10-15$ a month for all the music I want, in a downloadable and fully drm-free format with no ads and such nonsense.

Am I the only one here who uses cds or rips of them for most of their music consumption?
