So, paying or not paying, why would you ever turn the radio on? Why waste time listening to music you might not like?
(IME you're far more likely to hear music you don't like on the radio than you are on Spotify/Play et al. - plus you can't skip tracks on the radio)

But you _might_ like, nay, love it. Imagine that...

I'm capable of finding music I like myself, or from word of mouth.
Music isn't my life though, I listen to the local radio to and from work and occasionally an album or 2. And I don't get time to listen to music at work - that's when I work. My wife is the same.

You work in silence? Bad times  (Unless you're a funeral director/bereavement councillor/delete as applicable - then it'd be understandable)

So whilst you continue to push Spotify, streaming etc to the hilt regardless, try to bear in mind we don't all have the same interest/passion for it.  |
I'm not pushing it, it's more a case of defending it - I could say that you're pushing ripped MP3s (when I know you're not - but it's the same thing) - you implied that spending £10 a month on music was a crazy thing to do and you couldn't understand why someone would do it - so I'm highlighting why I, and other people, think that it's good value for money.
You could push this to the ridiculous and say why spend £12.12 a month on a TV licence? You could just buy (VHS?  ) box-sets of your favourite shows and just re-watch them again and again.
Personally, I get far more value out of the £10 a month on Play than I do on the £12 for a TV licence.

Yeah well, if I'd been able to install iTunes I wouldn't have even started this thread as I could then have downloaded and exported the albums... then left it all behind! 
I appreciate the offer Mawsley, so for albums how about the more recent ones I want to get hold of.
Underworld - Barabara Barbara
T2 Trainspotting soundtrack album.
You got those?

Oh yeah, ok then - wouldn't want to complicate it further than needs be eh... 
Logged into Spotify, used facebook to create an account but lets hope it doesn't start spouting crap on my page and telling everyone I'm listening to Celine Dione and suddenly sending me ad's eh!
Search for Underworld Barbara, brilliant there it is, with download and shuffle play buttons - oh but wait a minute - if I play the album, that'll be using my data. I've got 2GB data a month, wonder how long that will last if I want to listen to the same album several times...
Well I'll download it instead to listen to it offline, oh but hang on - I now need to sign up and pay £10 a month. But I only want the one album and to listen to it a lot over the coming months along with the music I already have... yet I'll have to now pay £10 a month for the privilege. And of course if I ever decide (dare I) to stop paying coz I don't want to carry on with Spotify - I lose the offline option and end up using my data again...
Tell you what, I'll go torrenting instead then.
Download a torrent app, search for Underworld Barbara and hey it comes up with several sites. Click on the first one, oh my.... 2 extra windows pop up, one with a naked lady legs akimbo apparently already waiting for me to just click on her and give my card details. The next couple are similar or betting ad's.
Lucky I wasn't searching for 'Duck' songs with my 8 year old daughter eh. 
Or... I could just buy the CD for £10, rip it to my laptop and then put it on every device I have and be able to play it anywhere and everywhere, as often as I like, without having to worry about data costs, monthly costs, signing up to anything or naked legs akimbo ladies popping up unexpectedly.

wtf are you doing?
Use qBittorrent.
Use https://unblocked.bet/ to access The Pirate Bay.
???
Profit (which you can then spend on Spotify membership).
And you can't really do much with 2GB of data  |

Does everyone trust that these music streaming services are going to last? We7/Blinkbox went bust and as far as I'm aware always made a loss. Apparently it's a similar story with soundcloud/spotify. I guess apple music and google play are big enough not to fail, but I wouldn't be hitting delete on the MP3 collection just yet |

Course what you are ALL forgetting is the big event that is going to happen at some point in the future without fail....
The apocalypse of course! 
Millions will die, the internet will go down, electricity will stop working and all you Spotty streamer fuckers will go mad in the silence that follows because you can't access your music.
I'll be sitting in my castle with a generator, can of petrol and CD player with all my 80 CD's, raking all the favours and still edible food in because everyone will want to listen to the music I've got on good old fashioned disc that lasts forever!
(Well that is until the cycling LP owners one up me when the fuel runs out...  )
