Can't tell if you are being serious or not, but if you are serious - nice True Scottsman fallacy ya got there. A fan is a fan, I am not snobbish enough to tell people what they have to do in order to be a "real" fan lol that ain't how I roll

Lol I have never streamed, dont need to cause I got my iTunes filled with all the P anyone could ever need. However the Prince fan community should be inclusive and open minded, not snobbish enough to devalue the value of a fan who may listen in a different way than someone else. No offense

Idk man you can justify it with "it is what it is", but that seems like a cop out. The truth is that anyone who loves P's music a true fan. You can say otherwise but like you said it is what it is.

People over 40. That's who mainly doesn't stream. Older people are scared of technology. Nothing to do with Prince, just ignorance.

Any fan worth their salt will already have had the music before streaming was even a thing. It has nothing to do with the aged disliking streaming. Its about being a true fan. You're either a true fan, or you are not.

You're really good at this, because I made a decision to ignore you; but I can't. So I'll take my chances because I am curious and would like an honest answer and not some "snappy comeback".

1) Are you serious or just clowning? If serious,

2) please define "true fan"

3) People on this site talk about maintaining Prince's legagcy; how do you think that is going to happen if younger people are not exposed to his music? Prince's older fan base will evenutally transition; and who will be left to discuss his music and advance his legagcy? The majority of millennials are NOT buying CDs or BUYING music. As people noted on this site, since his passing the price of some of his CDs are a bit pricey for someone who may be fresh out of high school or college.

We dont need the younger people to take care of his legacy. We got it from here and have been doing just fine without the millenials and their ignorance of the purple history. And if I were you, I'd carry out your decision to try to ignore me. It doesn't get any better.

Thanks. As usual we can agree to disagree. I think new, and younger fans/fam are needed; and appreciated. Like Prince, I think multi/inter generational blood is cool: “They are like my kids,” he said. “And I’m learning from them. Young people have the new ideas.” But I feel you on the ignorance part; I have a problem with people's ignorance of Prince before the "purple histroy" (not really,).

A legacy is literally something that cannot exist without younger folk to keep it alive lol. I am not sure what you are going on about both with that or the "real fans don't stream" thing

I signed up to Tidal just to stream Prince's entire (released) catalogue. Since then I have used the platform regulalry to stream new non Prince music and albums and enjoy it. I actually listened to "The Chocolate" invasion yesterday on Tidal which I had never listened to as an album configuartaion before so I am going to use stremaing to (re) discover Prince music I have never taken the time to listen to before.

I own what I listen to. I'm not always in range of a cell tower. Out here in the wild west, you can drive half a day and not be able to stream.

It's the same with me--and I live in New York City! Try streaming when you're stuck in a subway tunnel. lol

So streaming is useless to me. My Prince music is all vinyl and CDs (or ripped digital files from the CDs).

[Edited 6/11/17 0:13am]

You know you can save music for offline listening, right?

.
I do. My CDs are
On my iPod which I can easily plug into my cars and control from the steering wheel.
It's actually more convenient.
I also bought a turntable recently and have been converting vinyl to digital and CDs.

Now them's fighting words.
Maybe those off us who've grown up with all the technology learned what's best in each circumstance??

I was on the internet almost as soon as it was invented. Before there was "the web".
I herded Beanie Baby collectors on Prodigy in the 90s.
I can handle The Org.

And doesn't downloading from a streaming service ends up with the same as loading it onto my phone or iPod anyway?

I've no need to, but I'm not 'anti-streaming' - I just personally have no use for it. If streaming is the way the general music listening audience is getting their music, then I'm glad Prince's stuff is on there to be heard.

I have Tidal & Apple music for various reasons. I also own everything on cd/vinyl & digital as well.

Streaming makes it easier for me to listen to what I want anywhere I want. I own everything because I want to. I am also I collector of music in general.

Calling someone 'not a fan' on a fansite is rather pointless, but hey, to each their own.
