I like vinyl if I wanna listen to quality. I’m okay with what I pay for all the access
Music lovers have been duped into paying $120 a year for lesser quality music

Yes, but nothing is hypothetically stopping someone from downloading everything they want in the 3 month trial period or whatever deal they have for new users. Somebody could get like 10tb of music in that time, or so I’ve heard.
People rip vinyl with high-end turntables and equipment nowadays. I have some great albums in 24/192 vinyl rips. It definitely sounds smoother than fully digital 24/96
These weirdos are like machines, they think it's either you listen to CD/Vinyl or you stream. Like one loses their ability to steal music like they do or go on Amazon cause one also can afford to pay 10 bucks for the ease, playlists, podcasts and whatnot.
It's like talking to Rain man type of people sometimes
"How can you have airpods instead of these 3 pound sennheisers??" "Why are you buying a small bag instead of a suitcase?" I mean it's impossible to have both
Yup. That’s where Roon comes into play. It puts all of your locally stored (i.e. downloaded albums) in the same interface as your Tidal or Quobuz account. Like if you search “Curren$y,” Roon will show you your downloaded albums and also what Tidal has in their catalog. It does cost money to use, but the user experience is definitely worth it in my opinion.

Y'all know they sell Tidal and other Hi Fi memberships on ebay for like $15 a year

It allows you to download Qobuz albums in hi-res, that can be used elsewhere. It also works with Spotify and SoundCloud.
It's a great tool
Do you need the paid version for it to download mp3s in 320KBS? I just tried it on a few songs from Spotify and they all downloaded in 128..

this is wrong.. Amazon and sites like Getondown are still selling cds and vinyl lol. Plus the feds haven't seized everything. I have been going to the same 2 sites for music for years. ! of them I've been using for 20 years. And then you have blogspots. I actually still buy cd and vinyl because not much comes out that I want to hear anyway. I just like reading inserts. I get pissed when the inserts are bs
, yall crazy as shyt.

You have to find stores in your area that sells old stuff that includes music and movies. I bought a couple No Limit albums in the original packaging that are hard to find for under 10 dollars. I got that fiend in the original red case. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. This white dude has a little shop in Columbia SC that sold old shyt.. a friend put me on. Dude was selling vinyl for a dollar and dude didn’t know what he had at all.. so many classics! The only problem was he just threw them bytches in boxes and a lot of albums got trashed in the process. You won big time if you found something worth playing though. The albums I remember finding that I could use wereI talked all that shyt and I’m back to Apple Music
They got out of print cds I love like Ghetty Green and Mista Don’t Play. Imagine buying those albums used for $60 a pop.
What I said about sound quality still stands tho CD and Vinyl is better sounding.
Society of soul-brainchild
Jay Z-blueprint l(blue pressing)only one out of two albums though
Def Jam Red Souds
Ray J- Raydiation(sold it and made 10 bucks)
hidden beach recordings unwrapped
various singles like Erykah Badu Danger, Nas Bridging the gap, Bounce by Miracle, etc. all for 1 dollar each. I take joy in finding good music and not spending a lot on it.
