I can tell its a Jason post just by reading the opening comment lol

Fuck. Yes. To infinity and beyond!

I just hate listening to music on computers in general. send me free samplers, all you bands, and I'll get to you eventually.

agreed. i don't even "like" some of my favorite bands on facebook because i can't stand the flooding of updates on my newsfeed.

I completely agree. Especially because I deleted my facebook account.

Agree. It's dumb.

A lot of the unsigned bands featured in Alt Press do this. I just skip over them and move onto the next one.

Absolutely fucking agree

there has been times i've decided not to even check out the band because i didn't want to like it just to hear them.

Really? Man, I am such the opposite now. I don't want physical music anymore (vinyl being the exception). I have no room for CDs. And I don't even know what I would play a CD right now in the house with ... I'd probably just use the CD player on my computer anyway. All the music I listen to is basically digital now. I have a few CDs in the car in case I forget my iPod or iPhone (rare).

I am just fine not ever getting another CD to be honest at this point. I've crossed over.

I usually don't press that button unless if it's a band I really love. Even then, I don't want to click "like" just to hear a new song. I don't really use Facebook to check out new bands.

I'm not going to like something I can't listen to. New bands that do this are fucking idiots, and only turning people away. You need to make your music as available as possible, not make it exclusive.

anyone else NOT with you?

do not like or respect this at all.

I think that for as big as Facebook has gotten - they still don't have a good experience for brands - and especially bands. I know they like touting "Spotify" as their "music service" - but it's just flat out not what it could be and should be.

Bandcamp is probably the best place for unsigned/smaller bands to display music right now ... and I think that site is missing the community aspect and social discovery.

Facebook could own the space with the right focus/product manager. But I get why they have other priorities right now.
