      It’s a little different as Spotify/apple/etc don’t produce music and are not trying to out license each other. Really good thing you don’t have to sub to half a dozen music services.

        Grateful that they don’t. But they have tried to do it with podcasts.

        Spotify “pulled an Apple”, bought Gimlet and moved all their podcasts onto Spotify exclusively. I don’t use Spotify and chose to find alternatives. I’m happy I did.

        Tidal seemed to try going down this road with exclusives but thankfully none of the others followed.

        Isn’t that interesting? Maybe if the studios weren’t allowed to own the TV channels, we’d have more competition and the prices would go down.

        DIY? That must not mean what I think it does.

        ETA: It does mean do it yourself. Interesting.

          Look into The Mountain Goats; all their early stuff was recorded on a boombox cassette deck.
