My husband has digitized many of our older formats and we have purchased digital downloads of many albums and we have Apple Music streaming. We listen to one of those in the house. In the car we have Sirius XM and I listen to that unless I get fed up and switch to NPR. I will also listen to local radio and have some apps for good non-comm radio stations like WXPN, KEXP, WFMU, WUNC and others. Mostly I just use the radio in the car.
I would encourage everyone to BUY stuff from independent artists that you like. If you’re not listening to Beyonce or one of the other megastars chances are they could really use your $10. Streaming rips off the artist big time. It is appalling how little they get paid for streams like $0.0015 for a stream on YouTube. A million streams of a song might only earn the artist $1500. If you sell a million singles, that’s a gold record right there, but stream it and it’s paltry.
