Some of us want to support actual human musicians?

Well supporting small artists instead of huge celebrities worth almost a billion dollars or more is a start (not for you, for everyone).

The one you replied to may do so. I certainly listen more to smallish artists than I listen to big.

Man this is my current bug bear. Last year I wanted to go offline for all my music. So many of these sites selling mp3s complain about how Spotify pays a fraction of a cent per stream and I should buy music, and I agree.

But then they sell the mp3 albums at $15, more than the physical version ever was. Come on, there has to be a middle ground. At $5 each I'll buy 20, at $15 maybe 1
