| Where it stops | Free streaming is capped at a few plays per release before it nudges you to buy, and the catalogue is only what artists chose to upload. | Names only — no audio, no links to listen, and the association data is crowd-sourced rather than curated. | Streams come straight from the stations, so dead links, regional blocks and long ad breaks are all common and none of it is recorded. |
