This is a really interesting case that is probably overlooked daily. I’ve been using Spotify for quite a long while now and I must say, it’s interesting that I had never even thought about this case.

Thanks for the interesting article!

Totally agree, though I have no idea why anyone would buy something when they can listen to it on Spotify. That EP is ace BTW, looking forward to her new release, which sounds like it’s going to be equally ace.
