I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

This is more convenient than piracy.

    Having the files locally is more convenient though

    How is having any song you want being one search away less convenient than having to curate and organize a music collection, and then go digging though folders to find the song you want?

    Look, I've been collecting music since 1998 and even I admit that streaming is a lot more convenient. Only reason why I still collect music is because I am a DJ and don't always have a reliable wifi or data connection at every gig. But even then I've culled the vast majority of 50k+ tunes down to about a 1000 of the best and most popular on the dance floor. Then swap songs in and out as needed. The modern era makes it easy to re-obtain a deleted track, and often in higher quality than I originally ripped it at (I use a spectrum analyzer on my collection to verify).
