Spotify raises Premium Family price in Belgium to 16 euros – IT Pro – News

And if you only have 3 members … Then it is 5.3 Euro Not everyone has 6 people in their family group to share that cost.

Personally, I find the 9.99 expensive for individual users because after a while you notice that most of the songs you play are often the same. If you buy the songs on CD, rip for your own use, Spotify pays back quickly and you will have those songs forever because mp3s or flac songs don’t change in “better quality”. Not like 720/1080 / 4K movies have gone with remasters and etc …

Add to that how the streaming services keep increasing their subscription prices on a regular basis.

A purchased song costs 0.69 to 1.29 euros (some are even cheaper in Promos). That is 8 to 14 songs per month that you can purchase. Let’s say 12 on average per month. 144 Songs in a year. That is growing rapidly every year. And those are not CDs where you don’t like the 70 +% of the songs.

Here you will find the sites for legal music to buy. In Flac format itself …

I say to everyone his own thing but the fact that you pay 9.99 Euro and actually have no property in the end is expensive. And that is the current price, will not surprise me that we will see 11+ Euro.
