me but opus instead of mp3 and ViMusic instead of Spotify

I still play physical CDs every day. Still buying them, although that is getting to be more difficult, sadly.

I have a nice Rotel CD player at home and a CD player in my vehicle. I got a great CD/DVD duplicator for $50 used so all those CDs in my truck are easily disposable copies of my originals that stay at home.

I should rip them all but that is a lot of work. I did rip many of them to 192 khz mp3s a while ago so that has been enough so far.

Streaming is nice but the fuckery will continue and they can miss me with that shit.

I'm too cheap to get an unlimited data account and I don't want to use up my mobile data. I have a separate ipod touch for my music, so it frees up space on my actual phone, so if one gets broken/lost/stolen, I'm not completely out of everything. Plus, I like the idea of actually "owning" my stuff, as much as you can own digital files. After my Dad passed, I picked up all his mp3s he had saved and merged them into my library, so I also like the idea of potentially passing on this collected library to my kids (if they care enough or the world hasn't transitioned completely to streaming music when I die).

I only use Spotify for a couple of exclusive podcasts I like and maybe some comedy. I certainly wouldn't pay for a subscription since I don't listen to much music and I hate the user interface especially through Android Auto.

The only time I really listen to music is late at night in front of the PC and I have a music collection for that. It's amazing how cheap you can pick up old CDs these days second hand in car boot sales and similar. It's just cheaper to buy CDs and rip them rather than fork out 11 euros every month.

I wonder if I still have my Creative Nomad Jukebox somewhere... came out in 2000. Was the size and shape of a portable CD player so it fit in the same kind of cases. Took normal AA batteries. Had a 6 GB capacity, which was insane in 2000. I had a huge number of MP3s on it. Many radio dramas. I wish I still had them elsewhere.

Does no one still use Winamp and midis?

geometry dash asset music ._.

1.5Tb and counting, where my data hoarders at?

Meanwhile me still listen some songs locally (self host Jellyfin) because some songs that I listen are not available on Spotify :/

Thinking about to reencode my collection to opus but "too lazy" as my ripped collection are 320kbps mp3 to save space.

I share mp3s via google Drive links. browsers know how to play them

@deezertogdrivebot Use this telegram bot to rip from Spotify

Anyone else use a terminal to rip flac from tidal?
