At $30-$40 per month lossless FLAC, are you in?
I am.
If your argument is that nobody currently subscribing to Spotify (me) will move to QOBUZ (me as well) if and when it comes to the US with higher resolution streaming, the all those NEW customers must be INCREASING the total revenue the music industry is seeing from streaming. Now I'm just guessing here,but doesn't it make sense that the recording industry would demand a higher fee for streaming a tune at 16/44.1 Lossless FLAC than at MP3?
If not, why are we paying MORE for higher resolution downloads? Do the record labels and artists receive more $$ from a high resolution download vs. and MP3 download?
First they came for the dumb-asses
