for mobile does it still play on background or with the phone locked like spotify? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, that's the best thing about it, and it has more selection than spotify too. you also get access to google play music which does gapless playback of albums. it's really good imo |

anyone tried youtube music? fuck no |
||||||||
|

where do you get to listen to new music, just slsk mp3s? i don't like ian googles and ian amazons getting my pennies either but they're hell of convenient |
||||||||

i've never even used spotify. streaming is sinister, please everyone keep pirating if you respect culture |
||||||||
|

slsk doesn't work on my phone, it's only got 32gb storage anyway and i can't afford a laptop. trust me, i'm not keen on the arrangement |

i don't like an algorithm curating my taste, i try to avoid getting my recommendations from it |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah sometimes you need to i know. it's not so much the algorithm i hate and more not owning anything and being at the mercy of the criminals who decide what should and shouldn't be on their platform. the few times i've used it i couldn't find anything. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
but i'm the kind of piece of shit to idly trawl through discogs looking for anything with a cool name or cute cover art so :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has a lot of blind spots, yeah. i bought a little discman awhile ago, just so i could also buy 93 by mowgli direct from his site (since it's my favourite hiphops of ever and all). i can't imagine he is super rich so i felt an uneasily capitalist glow, like i was paying to feel good about myself momentarily |

I think if you're into obscure independent music (I don't say that as a bad thing), you will of course hate mainstream streaming services. it's not a good place to discover small artists. For that I guess there is soundcloud or band camp and other platforms Im sure. I like YouTube musics too, mainly cos their local pricing is decent and it is included with YouTube premium (YouTube anyone?). Best way to go imo. and yes these giant corporations are evil but lets face it we all suck a bit of corporate cock here and there. |

is it wrong to read a book on marxism if you got it free on amazon prime? feels icky, even for a corporate cockslurper like me |

just one more turn for Marx in his grave |

I still buy the music that I love, on vinyl if possible. Can't possibly buy everything. So Im happy with streaming services, even though they apparently aren't very good for artists. As a consumer 👍 |

yeah sometimes you need to i know. it's not so much the algorithm i hate and more not owning anything and being at the mercy of the criminals who decide what should and shouldn't be on their platform. the few times i've used it i couldn't find anything. yeah, exactly. i have amazon prime for the free shipping, essentially, but for this i get their netflix competitor. i didn't even bother for ages... then, hey, they have the wire in better resolution than my torrented copy, why not? as i am ending my rewatch of the series, HBO Max launches, and everything HBO disappears off of amazon prime. now, instead, i can pay $2.99 per episode, or $9.99 per season, or $15/mo to sign up for HBO Max. back when i had an xbox 360, i bought some games off the ~microsoft store~ and then, later, going broke, i realized i had to keep paying a monthly fee in order to keep owning games i'd already purchased. i let it expire; $100 of shit gone. why, after that, would i ever pay $2.99 an episode for a license to stream? i'll buy DVDs, if they're reasonable, but the wire costs $150 on DVD. bottom line, fuck it, this is shit, i'd rather do with my crappy torrented copy music, i suppose, it's not quite as bad. i got tired of listening to portished's "dummy" off youtube, and bought the MP3s off amazon for ten dolla. my mp3 collection is quite large -- on my desktop, it's 150gb, and it's just a smaller subset of what i want most often. i'm not even sure how large it is in totality. and i don't have to deal with youtube videos getting pulled, being throttled to 240p, or entire labels getting pulled because some cunt suit is launching another streaming pile of crap i ought to get on slsk again. thanks for the reminder |

streaming is also bad for the planet. you let me download it once; watch locally -- that's efficient. you force me to download the whole thing every time i watch it, and pushing those bits around the world starts to add up into quite the carbon footprint. playing locally is just your phone and you; streaming involves dozens of computers around the world, sucking down juice |

i love having an algorithm suggest me new artists, but there's not need to pay for that, i just get my recommendations from youtube and bandcamp, and buy from bandcamp. artists that only offer spotify or apple store don't get my money, sadly because i so much want this |
||||||||

i cant be arsed about pirating anymore, never used soulseek, never found it fascinating, these are not that days anymore |
||||||||

|
|
these are not those |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

forgot to mention we also have a family plan, so for R110 my wife and I get ad free YouTube and access to music streaming. Win win. I want to be more idealistic but my wallet dictates otherwise. |
