Music lovers have been duped into paying $120 a year for lesser quality music

[xCivicx]

so what does this have to do with paying for cds being better than paying for streaming?

you can buy cds of albums that you actually want to listen to instead of being forced to listen to what the streaming sites choose to stream

The biggest problem since streaming has overtaken cds is the industry pushes 2 minute McDonald pop songs.

Artist create singles that can be streamed in countless playlist and are short enough with out being skipped with being genre netural . 20 years ago artist created cohesive full length albums that would have to be mix mastered and printed. Its really hard to put into words. But the product being sold was more thoughtful. In 2021 artist can put out music almost as soon as its done in the studio.

Go listen to old albums then

And if these companies go through a "facebook/IG" and shut down because of a glitch then what?

It’d be no different than if your CD case got lost or stolen back in the day. I’m sure most of the people on here that grew up with CDs had to completely start their collection over at some point.

15 years of music collection on my hard-drive means I never have to rely on streaming services to listen to my favorite songs

Pay another man to let you listen to music brehs. Even worse when your favorite artist gets cancelled and you no longer can stream their shyt

You see it too. I was on a huge streaming steez until I realize that the algorithm is controlling the music and not the human. I been on a big Bandcamp/download steez lately.

Streaming is good to listen to new shyt.

MP3 is better than Flac files? Do you know how shytty MP3 files are? Even 320 bit MP3 files sound like shyt compared to Flac.

This...

Every cd I have I have ripped to FLAC on my music server. Cats comparing anything mp3 to anything FLAC I need to know the listening equipment they are using.

Streaming is good to listen to new shyt.

Streaming is basically radio with a skip button. When I used to be on music subs, I usually just let the shuffle play. After a while, I came to the realization that I might as well just use Pandora or listen to internet radio .

Cheaper and more efficient for background noise or days where you just be like fukk it.

loseless but no headphone jack (without adapter) or wireless headphones that are compatible.. unless im wrong

True but I have an adapter for over the ears




It sounds better than it did before. I’m not an audiophile tho


Only draw back is the cellular network, not sure if lossless is available
