Is It Worth It? Spotify Review

Is buying that premium Spotify account worth it?

Is It Worth It? Spotify Review
Spotify

Spotify is becoming one of the biggest music apps on the app store but it's not just any old music app. It's better than Pandora because it functions as your own personal music library (with a premium package) and you can skip as many songs as you want. Honestly, in my opinion if you don’t purchase the premium package spotify offers listeners, I wouldn't even download the app. Simply because you don't get the most out of it! Luckily for anyone currently in school you can buy spotify premium for 4.99 a month, otherwise it's $9.99 (after your 30 day free trial period). Once I signed up for the premium package, and because I am terrible with technology I was really happy to see that the process was simple. Basically you let Spotify know which university you attend and what your student number is, and BAM you can use the Spotify student premium package. What I really love about Spotify is that you can create personalized playlists with as many songs as you can think of. When you are in the mood for something else, Spotify has playlist categorized based on either mood, genre or era of music.

Spotify Pros:

1. Encourages interaction, playlist creation and sharing.

Like I said earlier, the whole interface is very user friendly!

2. Loads of different kinds of music to discover, and it's all easy to find.

One song leads to another, to another, to another.

3. Play any song and you don't necessarily have to purchase anything!

Unless you plan to use Spotify regularly, and I do, you don't have to pay the monthly fee.

Spotify Cons:

1. Artists make next to nothing when their music is streamed.

If you wanting to support your favorite artists and pay them their just due for their talent, you'd be better off purchasing their album on Itunes or at Walmart.

2. You may find that according to Spotify, your favorite artists don't exist.

No Taylor Swift... like, what?

3. You can't share a Premium Spotify account

Unless you purchase the Family Plan for $14.99, someone has to log out otherwise it will boot you off the account.

Is it worth it? You decide!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
