I don't mind paying for a useful software app, but I tend to avoid subscriptions.

Give me something worth upgrading and I will, but don't charge me by the year whether I like the new features or not.

I know it's hard for software companies to stay in business if there is no reason to upgrade, thus, the subscription model. When the model is subscription, the software company need not do anything substantial, they have your money whether it's worth it or not.

As a working (underpaid) musician, I have to watch my finances. Work comes in excesses and also goes through dry spells. By owning, not renting most of my software and hardware, when the COVID lockdown came, I survived over a year without work without having to dig into my savings. The same thing happened when two hurricanes came in a year and closed most of the places I gig in for a year, while reconstruction happened.

That's just my rant.

When you purchase a style e-disk or fake e-disk from me (Norton Music), it's yours. I'll make new ones, hoping you will find them useful, and if you do, and buy one, it's yours, too.

I think that's a better way to do business.
