Yeah, agreed, but I had a recommendation from a friend that convinced me
to take a punt and sign up for a bunch of free tunes plus the lowest
monthly subscription. I bought a lot of good stuff from them that I
still listen to now, but realised that I would quickly exhaust the back
catalogue and be forever hanging on for new releases which were fewer then.
