You can't do FOSS with music or movies man.
Big Buck Bunny is the only movie worth watching I guess.
Also Who Framed Roger Rabbit and anything with Bugs Bunny. Basically anything starring a lagomorph but nothing else.
How is that FOSS, does it come with the mastered version of all the songs in Ardour? Of course not.
Dude, that's not the point...
FOSS only applies to code, you can't change the source of art. It's art, you can either own it or just enjoy it (like when you go to museums). You can't actually change it to the way you like it. You'd have to have and own the DAW's working mastered project files to make it FOSS compatible. No one does that.
Yes, exactly 👍.
While it’s not entirely “source” and it’s not common, a few albums have been released with stem files.
Nine Inch Nails is notable for being progressive in this area.
Yeah, I know that NIN does release the stem files with their releases, but it's just 1 or 2 bands worldwide, most don't do that.
Still it is a thing though.
I was just making the point that conceptually “open source music” exists and has even been commercially released by notable artists.
Most modern day cars don't even come with CD players anymore and it simply is not as convenient as just making a quick playlist on a streaming service. And you aren't gonna carry around a Sony Discman while working out at the gym are you💀
Don't mind me here with my walkman and cassettes.
But yes the lack of cassette decks and compact disc players in the wild has reached new heights unfortunately, hell they're getting rid of AUX ports now, the absolute fucking cunts they are! My laptops don't even have disk drives anymore, I had to get an external one.
Don't worry I also have a few cassettes and a cassette deck laying around and as much as I would love to go back in time and throw in a good old tape in the car radio, it just ain't like that anymore you gotta at LEAST bluetooth it in new cars if not Apple Car Play/Android Auto because like you said they are getting rid of Aux ports
This is true, but I don't have to be happy about it dammit! Lol
Yea it's unfortunate. You can watch movies for free on a lotta shady websites though but for music I just settled for Apple Music because it's the only music streaming service that doesnt have like 5+ trackers according to Exodus and there is no free version with ads so chances of them selling ur data is less than say Spotify would be.
That’s a great point. The only reason I’m using Spotify is that my sister added me to her family plan so it’s free for me.
But you have convinced me to get Apple Music if ever I’m kicked off😂
Go for it. Better audio quality as well if you got the equipment for it
