What are some drawbacks to music streaming services?

While music streaming offers convenience, there are several drawbacks, such as lower sound quality, subscription costs, and limited ownership.

Can you explain the sound quality issue?

Sure! Streaming services often compress audio files to save bandwidth, which can result in a loss of sound quality compared to CDs or vinyl.

What about the subscription costs? Are they worth it?

Subscription costs can add up, especially if you subscribe to multiple services. However, they often provide access to vast libraries of music.

Do streaming services affect artists negatively?

Yes, many artists receive lower royalties from streaming compared to physical sales, which can impact their income significantly.

Are there any alternatives to streaming?

Alternatives include purchasing music digitally, buying physical copies, or using radio services that don't require subscriptions.
