Buy, Own, Stream - The "Rip, Mix, Burn" of 2026
This month marks my eleventh year with Apple Music. I’ve been a customer pretty much since the service started, which back in the day finally let me get into music streaming. I was reluctant to use Spotify, mainly because of their artist payout model.
With the general streaming fatigue creeping into music for me too, I felt like I wanted to take ownership of my collection again and make growing it more intentional.
