Who tf uses Spotify without a premium account?
I'd rather pirate that shit that use it for free (I like to hit next all the way).
IMHO Spotify is one of the few services that it is worth to pay.
Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn't be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.
i listen to too much music to be shuffling around CDs while driving
We don't rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I'm getting old.
no i do that too with stuff that isnt on spotify. most recently with Dagmar Krause's Tank Battles. but, again, i wouldnt have enough storage space to download all the shit i listen to even if i had all of the CDs ripped
Damn, you must have a massive collection. Solid state memory is fairly cheap these days, even for flac.
i mean i could get a TB sd card for my phone. but im lazy and spotify has most of what i need right there lol
and yeah i have a massive collection, 25,378 songs liked on spotify
Quantity over quality eh? I hope that doesn't happen to subscription-based gaming.
everything i like is quality
How much can I get for one of them bananas?
depends on what you want. all shapes and sizes (especially big size)
Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn't even register.
What? It takes 5 minutes to pop your new CD in the drive and let Windows Media player handle it for you, track information included.
Priority isn't about LOE.
Good for you.
I have a 1TB sdcard
can i borrow it for the forever
"And so Bittorrent was invented..."
bluetooth is not on my car. also Bluetooth quality sucks. also id be spending thousands of dollars to buy all my music
Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.
I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won't get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify
Cough cough xmanager cough cough.
On github or xmanagerapp dotcom cough.
I checked that and still don't know what it does...
Basically enable those very features that were disabled in the free version
As I understand it it gives you features that were available in earlier Versions? Sounds nice! But I guess it won't give you access to premium content right?
That would enter the pirate subject wouldn't it?
Anyway yeah using the free option provided by Spotify seems like the worst case scenario.
Yeah, it's basically premium except you can't download the songs and something else I can't remember.
Pretty sure they also have a version that can download for offline playback with some caveats
It also doesn't include the car thing either.
I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven't found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini's or Amazon Echos... And I don't have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.
those who listen to podcasts. i can download them and they're commercial free.
Huh, I think Spotify is a poor podcast client, compared with the competition.
really? what am i missing?
Well, I use Pocket Casts and it has volume booster and trim silence options, as far as I remember Spotify had none of those.
I use it for podcasts. Those exist outside the normally restricted music playlist stuff.
Never paid for a service which uses internet,NEVER!
I think Real Debrid is worth it.
