Yes.

I guess people would even pay for Spotify, if it's DRM free (which means the stuff on it can be copied), but that is still considered "radical" (in the Overton window) for shareholders of media distributors.

That "Save your music offline" is a feature in 2019 is ridiculous.

Fuck yes I'd pay for a drm free audio service. Any competitor of Spotify's that offers this would instantly get me as a customer - assuming, of course, they have a similar offering to Spotify. Spotify is already mediocre compared to Grooveshark and YouTube, it really shouldn't get worse than that.

There was such a service once, magnatune, but it never took off.
It never got big but it still exists: http://magnatune.com/.
