@nostupidquestions When purchasing Music (£0.99 each) how many plays would you say made the purchase 'worth it'?

sam OP , 3 hours ago

So the reason I purchase songs digitally is a few reasons;

1. Purchasing an album is really expensive
2. Purchasing the album is stupid for me as I normally only like 1-2 songs on it.
3. I'm really autistic and can't deal with going to an artists shows
4. I don't like how Streaming services work taking money no matter how much I listen to the music
5. Digital Media can be copied and saved
6. I know I could just download the MP3 from YouTube but I like to pay something towards the work

That is fair enough, I purchase Digitally as it's cheaper (as not really interested in a full album) and the higher quality of music does help a bit as it means I can hear it on better quality kit and it still sounds amazing. Streaming isn't really a thing I enjoy as some months I may not want a new song or even want to listen to music, So i'm triyng to work out what amount of plays makes sense that you've 'got worth' out of it. I know it's a little subjective but I wonder how much 99p is worth

I personally avoid streaming services as I know some months I rather just listen to podcasts or just not listen to music at all. This is why I'm starting a digital library of songs that I purchase. But yeah I guess getting a song to less than 0.01 per play would be a good goal to see the value in the purchase.

I know i've got a few songs that I've got over 10 listens to, and I think a good goal for each track might be 1 play per pence that I spent on it, so a £0.99 song would be 99 plays.
