EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.
Please don't make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.
This is absurdly difficult if you want to actually pay for individual mp3s. It's like they want you to pirate
You wouldn't download a storm cell.
I know, right? A bit hot in some parts of the world, but in general, things seem nice.
The first generation iPod topped out at 40GB. It's felt like that for a long time, matey
I found my first gen iPod last week, the gen 1 with the spinning wheel and firewire maxed at 5 gig.
Those had the cutest mini hard drive.
🤣
I still buy CDs and rip them. All the music I want on my phone ready to play from headphones or the car
I just bought a CD player a few weeks ago. It's not very good (it's a combination CD player/alarm clock, and the speakers are crap) but it's nice being able to just put a disc in and press "play" instead of booting up one of my game consoles or plugging in my USB optical drive. I've started hitting up second-hand stores for CDs to play with it.
That must be expensive as fuck.
I think Spotify is 12€ p month. Let's say 10€. A new album costs about 10€ digital or 15-20€ as a CD.
So you could buy a new album every month and build up a catalogue.
I buy them used for about 2,50€ an album.
I don't always want an album though. Sometimes I just like one song on an album.
Spotify is just so convenient. I have over 5000 liked songs on there.
I just download from youtube with yt-dlp or using blackhole app to import spotify playlist or using some telegram bot to download songs from spptify links.
Convenience is because you have been using it and made your liked playlist there. I download the songs I like and play it locally because that is even more convenient to turn of mobile data or put airplane mode on and play song with much longer battery life and no other app notifications. Also you can play it on any device with the added benefit of not getting tracked and getting advertisements
You can also have offline mode on Spotify, my desktop has downloaded all 5000+ songs.
Also yt-dlp is just piracy with extra steps. Might as well pirate the music to get it in good quality.
Offline mode on spotify is local media with extra steps. Offline mode is premium only. Also you still get tracked with the proprietary app. Spotify songs cannot be played in your favourite music player, device or whatever. I can copy some songs into sdcard to play it on an old speaker set.
Pirated music gets more convenient than what you paid for. Moreover, restricting saving and sharing media is kinda dumb and does not actually hurt artists or their revenue
It's really less steps. I don't have to do anything other than click a single button once.
It really doesn't. I like piracy, and I have a Plex server with around 6 TB of media but pirating music on a large scale is just annoying as fuck and my PC would have to be on all the time for my phone to access all my Music. My phone obviously can't fit 5000+ songs.
I even have Radarr, Sonarr, and Bazarr; and I am of a few private trackers. So I am not unfamiliar with piracy.
All I play is 75 songs mp3s and i pkay it in shuffle. When i really like a song i downloads it. I really hate having to load every songs from internet to play it, everytime. Still having to load from your pc is easier than having to load from internet, for me. Also you get tracked online, always. Offline doesnt work for non premium.
Btw 5000+ songs with each 10mb file size would be 50gb and you could fit it in phone
Yeah, I know I technically could. But I don't want too since I want to have other stuff on it.
And I don't give a shit about non-premium, it's unbearable anyways.
Also, if I am going through the trouble of downloading music (I have a few albums on my server), I am downloading FLAC files.
You wouldn't get flac like quality with spotify so why worry about flac?
So comes downloading. Non premium is unbearable. I also use xManager for the spotify when i do use it.
Moreover you haven't addressed online tracking yet
Yeah, I love streaming for music. About $10 a month and I get seemingly every song I've ever looked up. Streaming video has a lot of problems with fragmentation, but music doesn't seem to have nearly as bad of an issue. I use YTM and have never not found what I wanted to listen to. $10 is like the price of a single CD (or was -- it's been well over a decade since I've even looked at the price of CDs).
I've also listened to a lot of full albums on streaming (it's often what I do when I discover a new artist that I like) and there's never an album that I'd want to buy every song from. My music tastes are also very diverse. My liked songs are full of tons of songs that may as well be one hit wonders to me. That doesn't translate well to buying CDs.
I stopped listening to music, radio or nothing. I'm tired of being constantly stimulated, I desire peace and quiet
Instructions unclear burning 8 track tapes.
FLAC or some other lossless format is better.

I actually really love the idea of spotify, but their execution is fucked. Joe Rogan's getting billions and musicians who make up the overwhelming majority of the plays get microscopic returns per play. That's bullshit.
