![]() ![]() I put everything I want to buy in the "save for later" list, then move them into my cart for checkout one at a time when these digital credits are available. ![]() Buy them one at a time so you can build up those $1 digital credits. So if you have a big list of things to buy from Amazon, don't buy them all at once. Since you have Prime, you don't pay for shipping. ![]() Frequently, one of those choices is slower shipping (a week or two) in exchange for $1 in digital credits (they seem to change the type of credit every few weeks). When you buy from Amazon "the long way", during checkout you'll be offered a bunch of shipping options. I would suggest turning off one-click shopping. ■If you listen to music a lot and would have to buy 10,000 songs to duplicate the library you stream, then obviously you're not going to live for 108 more years, so the streaming service ends up being cheaper.Īmazon Prime is a bit more complex since you get other benefits for the subscription, but the overall comparison is still the same. ■If you don't listen to music much and would only buy a couple hundred songs, then obviously it's cheaper to buy those songs. If a streaming service costs $10/mo, that means it'll take ($1290)/($10/mo) = 129 months = 10 years 9 months for the streaming service to cost more than outright purchasing 1000 songs. ■If you're going to buy 1000 songs at $1.29 each, that's $1290. You need to compare streaming vs buying on a cost per song basis. The moment you cancel your account, you lose rights to access the material you previously had access to. You are only licensed to stream it while your account is current and paid. When you subscribe to a streaming service, you are not licensed to keep a copy of the song/movie being played.
