There's this thing called a CD, it's a round piece of plastic that holds all your music forever and cant be blocked.
Can get scratched tho.
My car may be old but I do love the six cd changer in it.
This is why I'm going to drive my car until it falls apart. That and all the Big Tech BS in new cars.
Yup, lot of new cars don't have cd players anymore. Sucks.
There is also this thing called a micro SD card slot in most Android phones. They now make micro SD cards with 1tb storage capacity. Convert your CDs to lossless FLAC and enjoy CD quality music any time.
You can legally purchase FLAC music from Bandcamp, 7digital & Qobuz.
If you feel like sailing the high seas there is a peer 2 peer computer program called Soulseek. There is also a program called Deezloader which allows you to download FLAC from the streaming music service Deezer. You can also find lots of older music in lossless on rutracker (Russian torrent website).
I used a combination of legally purchased & pirated music to build my lossless music library. It's stored on a 1tb micro SD card and I use PowerAmp for playback. I have over 54,000 tracks at my fingertips and never have to worry about songs being pulled because of licensing or censorship.
I have one of those. Unfortunately it can't play CDs you jut bought from the store.
I still have the my original (1995) ODB Return to the 36 Chambers cd. Scratched to all hell. Still plays flawlessly. We need to make cd’s great again.
Downloading and playing music locally
This all the way. Streaming is just a form of renting.
yes it is called mp3 download
Youtube-dl. Works on a whole lot more than just youtube, and it's local.
Yeah, youtube-dl is awesome. It can download playlists straight to .mp3 if you use the right command.
Also it's great for getting a local copy of those videos that you just know will be censored soon on that shitty site.
There is nothing comparable to spotify? I don't want to search 1.download at a time like I'm back in the 90's LMFAO.
I will do without music before that..
the music industry, like all corporations, failed miserably to adapt to the internet.
that's why we have brand new companies like amazon who's product is apparently "all online retailing" because other companies were crippled by static unions and overly large boards preventing them from reacting quickly
the music industry, whose first instinct is always to ban new technology, failed 3x as much as other industries, and wound up losing their entire distribution chain -- literally stolen from them repeatedly by limewire, napster, the pirate bay, apple, amazon (of course), and finally spotify.
they're somewhat ok with the spotify arrangement because they're finally making money again so there isn't going to be something else for a long time
It's not a bug. It's a feature. They want monopolies over everything we consume.
There are no streaming services that are not communist. Spotify, Apple, Google, Tidal, Amazon are all run by marxists. There are some other entrants like Deezer and qobuz, but I would bet big money they are also run by marxists and just haven't been around long enough to have shown their colors.
But, setting that aside, the music you want to consume is written, performed, and distributed by marxist artists and recording studios, so supporting even a based streaming service is supporting marxists. If you want music, pirate it. Otherwise buy some copies of music performed by proven-non-marxists.
wow epic good work soldier
I've never used streaming for music - wtf if the Internet is out?
I have a curated 40 gig collection of MP3's I've been collecting since 1998 (ahhh back in the day when I had a fantastic FTP site and the net was a free for all).
The music industry fucked up bigtime. I will buy a CD to support artists but convert to MP3 and throw the CD in the bin where it belongs.
It's NOT like there's a whole heap of brand new music I'm keen to listen to these days. It's mostly fucking auto-tune woke rubbish, hideous so called r&b and straight out excuses for soft core porn.
My current fave I've recently ordered is a Mongolian metal band (and I'm not a metal head) called The Hu. SO GOOD!

What did they censor?
They just made a change to their app saying they will listen to your microphone at will to “better adapt the music to your mood”. Yes, that’s really the reason they gave...
so when you're getting arrested your phone starts playing "fuck the police"
A lot, look into it... It just pisses me off..
I'm not paying some commie from LA to pick and choose what I can listen too .
I heard Pandora is apparently kinda based, but I honestly haven't looked into that yet so you might want to check before buying. You can also look into starting up a Plex account, that's what I'm thinking about doing for all my music and movies and tv, etc. But again, another thing I haven't looked into as much.
They give a military/veteran discount. But, like you, I don’t know a lot about the company.
I use Napster. I never used Spotify so I don't know how it compares functionally or pricewise, but Napster is pretty solid for what I need.
By the way, it's not the Napster that became infamous back in the early 2000s. It's a legal, legitimate music streaming service. It's literally just a rebranded Rhapsody. For some reason they changed their name a few years back but the service is exactly the same.
Isn't TIDAL a venture by Kanye?
No its owned by Jay Z who is the biggest piece of shit out there.
I dunno, that's why I posted, I noticed today that spotify has cancelled so many of the songs I like... So I canceled them
no Jay-Z
PrivateInternetAccess (best) or Nord + torrents. The only way to go.
I keep all of my media on my personal Plex server. Plexamp app on my phone works pretty good.
What'd Spotify censor? I love the app and don't want to ditch it unless there's legit cancel culture going on that I'm not aware of...
Every Alex Jones song is gone.
Tom Macdonald is gone.
Sons of liberty ..
And just random deleted songs I had saved from discover weekly ... I will do without music before I support a commie platform .
Tom MacDonald is still there. I have it playing right now.
Heard they took fake woke or something off
Still here. Alex Jones search returns results too.
I will say, that I was real pissed about Tom Macdonald. Tom Macdonalds FAKE WOKE song being unavailable for a few days was apparently the fault of himself, uploading wrong. Its back on Spotify and ITUNES soon if not already. I will say how it is weird I listened to it on Spotify before it was unavailable
YouTube to MP3. Make Piracy Great Again!
I still find .flac files online. I know there are other hi rez formats but whatever. Still use winamp too!
I’m using Tidal right now after moving away from Apple Music but I’ve started purchasing CDs. I know Tidal isn’t the best either. You could get a hi-res player and download/purchase MP3s from somewhere like 7digital.
Host your own
I have found livexlive. Just started listening / using this week.
Be the change you want to see. I think everyone should pirate everything and pay for a song if you support the artist BUT you can always find some college kids to create a website to compete with Spotify. Just an idea.
Pandora parent company gave millions to Trump. Just did some research. I'm switching now.
I prefer to support the musicians directly where I can, yet still enjoy the convenience of digital. Bandcamp is preferable, then I’ll buy from iTunes.
Gotta keep Tom Macdonald on the charts now.
Yarr Harr fiddle dee dee!
You used to be able to buy a used (wink wink) hard drive with 2 or 3 or more terabytes of music, mp3's. They are clear you are only buying the hard drive. They say they just don't have a way of deleting the files so they ask you to do it after you buy it. Lol. I bought one on ebay 4 or 5 years ago.
Pirate your music and upload to an MP3 player?
