You could waste a lot of money paying for CDS and or paying for downloads. But why? If you already pay for internet you can stream just about all new albums and old ones on sites like youtube and spotify. This is what I always do. If i find an album i actually love, and want to buy then I do buy it.But most times just giving it a stream is quite enough for me. In the meantime though, save tons of money by streaming free music! no need to buy like in the 90s anymore

There are many sites where you can download music for free, they run on ads.
For example Hangama (hindi movie songs)

I use spotify because I can give money to my favorite singers for free because they earn every time I listen.

That is based on advertisements? Or there are some other ways to pay the singer for PPL mode.

[Netherrealmer]

advertisements and paid members. Paid members do not get ads. I do not mind some occasional ads so I can support my favorite singers for free. I got ads every 25 minutes.

[JASPREET]

I always stream it free and there are ways we can get these download for free from spotify

[Netherrealmer]

If a singer is dead, its their family who benefits from your stream.

[Yugocean]

Thats a good idea, advertisers ae important, but I wonder if streaming is mining too?

[Netherrealmer]

We now live in an era where fans dont need to spend money to help their favorite singers. The only singer that sells albums now is Taylor Swift. Most fans just stream.

When it comes to music, i have never bought any music, even films these days i have never bought a film. Everything i do i either download it for free which i prefer or in some cases would stream it without paying.

[Kenti]

Streaming it would consume bandwidth which is another cost on its own. I wait till the free download becomes available.

[Reedex]

This is what I do personally. I do free streaming than paying for subscription.

[oldbuddy]

You could always save money by making your own music with a sheet of waxed paper folded into a comb you can hum into.

[Nsikan]

Downloading it is better if you want to listen to it again and in my country, we have lots of free download platforms.

[nela13]

I use spotify free version, I need to listen some ads in order to listen my playlist but that is okay for me.

[Akuba]

Currently , there are a lot of free music streaming platforms that you can join and stream music for free.

[Presh]

You can even save further by downloading the music instead of streaming and wasting bandwidth everytime. We have lots of free music download sites in my country.

[Pistis]

You can still enjoy music from premium streaming sites while saving costs by sharing subscription with your family and friends.

[Presh]

Streaming involves costs incurred with data subscription anytime you stream. It is even cheaper if you get the song downloaded to your device and it is yours forever. You can download songs from YouTube using some free tools.

[Nsikan]

I know some apps even allow offline streaming which makes you.the song codec to be in your library and you play it offline.
