Comment by DuncanIdaho@lemmy.world on Spotify re-invented the radio

Can’t even seek through songs.

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?

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.

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

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
