I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

Meanwhile the new Seagate 26tb HDD is going for $270

I've been downloading my media for over 10 years now and I only have like 2 1/2 Terabytes filled, a 26tb drive could hold most people's lifetime media collections.

Owning your own storage and files is the only way to ensure you keep access to the media you want.
