i never got off the habit of downloading music. and never hopped onto streaming.
Organizing the library takes time but so do hobbies in general
i mean if the itunes store or something equally as convenient didn't exist i probably would just stream cos i agree that finding download links is too much hassle + now that i work in intellectual property law, it would seem at bit off if i went home from that job and started pirating music in the evening. i am still attached to having control over my music collection tho.
Completely get the attachment to having control over over your music collection - I was like that until my ipod died a few years ago

Looking back now at how much time I spent sorting out tags and s***, don't think I could do it now
What do you guys that don't stream use for listening to stuff on the go? You still got working iPods or do you chuck it all on your phone?
Still got several 160GB iPods plus a couple smaller ones
why?
I stream each of the new albums i'm somewhat interested in each Friday morning (in shower, over breakfast, walking to work), then on Friday evening buy the ones that were worthwhile
that way I don't waste time or harddrive space (even tho I have 4.5 TB of free space) on downloading stuff that I don't care about
like, i'm not down for streaming in general, but it has its uses, particularly for tentative first listens
That sounds like a good system that works for you
I have mine it also works
But u Netflix? But you watch YouTube? You confusing. You download games but are paranoid of playing online or even adding network friends but stay on Letterboxd
Who the f*** told you I have Netflix? :pacspit: never. YouTube is free and has content I actually care about so I don't see the comparison. What do you mean paranoid of playing online? Lol I never said that. I said I only play multiplayer videogames with friends sitting beside me cause I'm old school, Janice. LB a whole other beast too. You're all over the place with this post sufibezels.
I don't think I could go back to torrenting all my music, seems like a mission now
yeah exactly?

You said you wouldn't add me on your Switch/PS4 playlist cuz you don't play online

Just mod a single one to have a Terabyte

yeah what does paranoia have to do with that? i dont play online multiplayer games and i never will. some of the best times i ever had as a kid was mariokart and goldeneye etc with my friends who were actually there with me. the gaming industry phasing that out is disgusting and i refuse to support it.

Stockpiling iPods like they're toilet paper

literally

youre the only one that gets it
streaming music would take away one of my favourite aspects of being a music nerd... finding a cool new artist or band... doing the treasure hunt to compile all their singles, loosies and b sides etc and doing the research to make sure i have it all perfectly organized, chronological etc. its like yall dont even know me

You don't need to play online to add me playlist.
that's what I'm getting at

i dont see the point fam. explain it to me.
i am just not cool with the philosophy of parting with old routines and habits just to accommodate a fast/on the go lifestyle
i want to possess the music, not just access it
Looking back now at how much time I spent sorting out tags and s***, don't think I could do it now
yeah i dont f*** with tags
i want to possess the music, not just access it
imagine depending on internet connection to access your stuff
absolutely not. maybe when musk gets his satellite grid up but for now nah.
my library almost perfectly tagged, 3k+ albums, high res art...
several/rare versions of albums
not stuck with the remaster for everything
can configure the "bonus" tracks/b-sides/etc however i want
