YA ICEMAN ACEM4 Mac Minis have upgradeable flash storage. But I don't even need upgradeable flash on my hypothetical new iPod. Just give me a 512GB SSD out of the gate and I'm good
Real no photos or videos eating up space so you good . Shocked they haven’t done a dedicated camera

EasyloveI don't see how the industry can go back to a pre-streaming model at this point.
Probably make it so you have to actually buy the songs/albums. Like how iTunes used to be.

Portable CD players are all but obsolete.

Major Insiderstreaming was the best thing to come for the consumer, while being one of the worst things for the artists

fun guyYup, in terms of music discovery, there's no debate that streaming is significantly better for music fans than any other era for multiple different reasons. People like to romanticize the physical era and all of the labour involved. Of course there's cool aspects of the culture that are lost in the digital age (Madlib going to Brazil and cratedigging for samples hits different than someone typing "60s Bossa Nova" on YouTube), but it's so disingenuous for people to act like it was easier to discover music when you had to pay $15 for a CD.

SLYOOPER TIMBONobody buying cds and listening to radio nigga stop b****ing
Feb 6CDs not going to actually come back, but buying music definitely will. Labels are going to have streaming only artist, and then artist that can actually sell music.

ELLOGUVNASounds like he gave some of the game away. If someone develops a platform that helps an artists connect with their audience the way Instagram facilitates that for their creators, then that could replace streaming platforms.
I’ve discovered so much new music through instagram suggestions

Couldnt disagree with you any more
The fact that songs disappear from streaming/new versions pop up/all the other bs kind of kills the point of buying music

It’s just what I’ve always had and my library is so vast now it makes sense to keep adding

Feb 6·1 replyIf the economy was doing better & housing was affordable I’d have no problem switching back to physical media. Times are so tough rn just let me have unlimited music at $10/month man, everything else is so expensive. Just let me have this without paying $10-15 per CD. I’ll pay out the ass for your tour, there’s the trade off

Idk how man, I played 500 different artists in 2025. Let’s just assume, for sake of argument, I only played one album per artist. That’s $5000 total for one CD from each of the each 500 artists. That’s the equivalent of paying $11/month streaming for 37 years.

Lmao, you don’t know how much time I spend with each artist. How could you say something like that to a complete stranger online?
