Music fans swap 'expensive' Spotify subscriptions for £20 MP3 players

Simonalisa, thought to be from the US, said she no longer wants to shell out money on music every month. An individual premium account in the UK costs £11.99 a month, is almost £145 a year.

No mention of copyright infringement or the cost of legally downloadable files, which with even a modicum of tracks will cost more than 5-10 years of Spotify subscriptions.
Great for nostalgia, but not a viable option theses days unless you download illegally.
Plus I would hardly call the Daily Mail a good publication for advice and truth. (Just like most other so called news sources.

Just get a family or friends deal on Apple and get 6 people to sign up for the price of one subscription.

Why would the be buying ancient MP3 players when they'll all have perfectly adequate phones they could use?

Plus i spent far more than the 12.99 a month than YT/Music costs me on CDs and downloads before streaming was a thing, and I get more than just music streaming for that so I consider it a bargain!

Sounds like 🐂💩 to me!
