Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I love how the whole crowd of people that used to be all "what, you don't have a Spotify account?!" Are now starting with the "wait a minute, these guys are domineering and bad!" Like the signals for crowd abuse aren't plain as day.

This exploitative behavior will be down by literally any company that sets themselves up to be "the streets" that you gotta navigate to interact with someone else or their media. That means YouTube, Facebook, and also all those physical places on Earth.

I had a 6 month trial of Spotify for $1 so I thought I'd try it to see if it would help me discover new music. It only has about 70% of the albums in my collection. I wasn't willing to lose 30% of my music so it's back to USB in the car and plexamp everywhere else.

USB in the car and plexamp everywhere else.

Why not Plexamp in the car too? If you don't have great mobile data, in Plexamp you can download playlists for offline playing.

I prefer to use native music app in my car. The same music is on USB. I use the same rsync script to copy media to USB drive and my plex server. I did just have a rental for two months and it had android auto which supported plexamp.

Makes sense.

I've got an older car (2012 Mazda 3) but years ago I replaced the radio with a Pioneer one that supports Android Auto. I like it and Plexamp works great on it.
