Ahhhh I get ya now, sorry.

Yeah with a free account I think you can still get low quality MP3s, not worth it.

Deemix still works for me.

The radio doesn't play the kind of music that I like, but fortunately there are people online who do.

What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?

  1. Find DJs I like on Twitch. (Many of them copy shows to Mixcloud too, so you can listen later, but track IDs may only be on the live show.)
  2. When I hear a song I like, grab the discography from one of the usual sources.

I have discovered so much great new music via Twitch, but I am sure not every genre is well supplied with good DJs.

Once you have a verdict I am sure a lot of people would enjoy a review post.

Once you have an account, either because you got an invitation or reg is open, most usenet indexers have a free tier that lets you grab a few files per day. The invitation alone is not going to give you a premium account for free.

I do recommend getting on to a couple of good indexers and using the free grabs to see how you like usenet. Personally, I love it, even though it isn't free. YMMV.

If each frame in the media contains the exact 1920 × 1080 pixels ...

This image has the same number of pixels on the top and bottom half, but you can probably see the bottom half looks worse. That's what lower bitrate does. It's like turning up the compression on a jpg -- you are not getting the exact same pixels, just the exact same image size.

I'm a resident of the retirement home, but this is still funny.

That would make sense, though it is surprising how my old phone still gets some of the new stuff.

100% Usenet here. Maybe I am basic, but it has everything I want and grabbing stuff is very easy.

Once in a great while I cannot find something and then I ask a friend to check his private trackers.

YMMV

There must be more to it than being a Pixel phone, as I have a Pixel and I do not have those features unlocked. It's an old Pixel, though.

TYVM. I think a big part of my problem is I had been grabbing chords for most things, not tabs... And when I did get tabs I was looking at the Official ones which don't have this download.

 

I've seen a number of posts lately like "How to get yadda yadda yadda" but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks.

If you're posting a question, please make it look like a question. It's EASY... Just put a QUESTION MARK at the end of your subject line. It looks like this:

We're pirates here, not fucking savages.
