I can wait, I am patient and the artist, labels, and digital services that play these silly games instead of making the music available through a monthly on demand service fee are going to continue seeing that material pirated over and over and over again.In the Lonely Hour is the debut studio album by English singer Sam Smith. I wait already in most cases six months to see new movies on my cable service, I can wait six months for those artists to finally agree to put something up for streaming, and if they don't well too bad there are thousands of artists here at spotify already to check out. They are basically giving you the chance to pay over double in most cases to stream the music you want, once a montly fee to stream what is there for streaming already, and then paying individual release prices for the artist holdouts who do not trust the streaming method to be paid correctly. Those services like goole play, iTunes, and amazon are going to be a mix of what is availble for streaming without additional purchases and also made up of those releases you will have to pay a single release fee each time artists hold out from the streaming services in order to have it available to stream through their services.

Heck it would be just as smart to purchase what you wish to from say you at least get the hard copy sent to you when ordering a new release, and most of the time the customer also gets the digital content download included in the release price, you get two for one. I got a sneaky feeling iTunes will pull the same marketing music ploy by individual release pricing schemes to be able to stream most music on their service, only if they can get beats straightened out. Hey I can stream this music I bought anywhere, yeah only if you pay the $11.99 per release price first. It is one of those confusing marketing ploys google is known for. Items you have to pay for i.e individual artist releases are available by streaming, which is totally different then having a large catalogue of material available that can be streamed for a set amount per month. I also think some users are confusing things with the google play service.
