In reply to the discussion: Apple Music was made for Gen Z [View all]whatthehey
(3,660 posts)29. Ain't too worried. Of the 556 composers whose stuff I have
precisely 3 are alive, 2 of them are over 80 in Scandinavia and the other has 1 single CD out of his own stuff, makes his money as a pianist and is doing pretty well. Orchestra members are paid well, and extra, for recording sessions. Doubt I'm stealing much bread from the mouths of the starving artist. And, as any discussion of file sharing never seems to acknowledge, the alternative 99% of the time is not my buying the CD and generating royalties, but simply them having one fewer listener in toto.

Yah the "Connect" feature is cool, I haven't explored the radio stations much yet. Beats1 was good!

I like to irrationally pretend one thing is predicated on a wholly different thing too.
