Streaming's Shortcomings: 
 
If everyone gets their music from streaming?  That is a big problem.
Streaming…
 

• has no cross promotion with local events or the local economy.
• has no cross promotion with local unsigned bands.
• has no direct connection back to the artist.
• completely ignores the purchasing power of the listener.
• has a limited and unstable (ever changing) catalog.
• pays a lower royalty per listener than other performance licenses.
• is the worst sound quality of all distribution platforms.
• has no production credits or copyright information.
• has no writer, composer, or publishing credits.
• has no human interaction for discovery of new music.
• assumes genre and style over all else when mixing music.
• assumes what you liked yesterday morning is what you will like Friday night.
• avoids selecting album/deep cuts and non-hits nearly as bad as top 40.
• requires multiple subscriptions (network and provider) to be active and paid up.
• cannot be rewound and reviewed for additional enjoyment.
• cannot easily be recorded or mixed into playlists and sets.
• contains only a low-resolution cover image, not complete artwork.
• contains no lyrics or artist notes.
• just got The Beatles this year.
• requires almost no paid humans to get it to your ears.
