Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:
What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?
Self host and buy the albums
How big is the percentage artists get for the album really though?
At a recent (niche) music festival, they said it takes 50,000 streaming songs to pay the artist as much as a single CD sale.
