If you pay for your music, do you prefer to pay for streaming services with a recurring cost, or do you prefer to buy digital/physical releases for a one off fee?

Hmmm just for listening to music from my device, I prefer to pay for streaming services because I don't want to own things. I will buy physical releases if I really like their work.

I'd probably pay for am album if it's particularly good, but most of the time I use a streaming service since it's easy to try out a bunch of different stuff.

I pay for my music (on Bandcamp) so that I support the artists I like with a much larger share, but I tend to listen to the same music on streaming services because they just are more comfortable to use in most cases.

I‘m one of those weirdos who prefer to buy their music — either digital or physical (mostly CDs) is fine by me.

Just for the ease of use, I pay for streaming services since I often listen to a large varience of music on multiple devices.
