Those are all shit, I'll rip youtube MP3s, remove the shit in Audacity and transfer the files on my phone. Even better, use torrents and just edit out the MP3 tags I dislike.

Torrents I can understand for FLAC and the like, but most of us just want to listen to the song on command instead of ripping MP3s.

Well I mean it's not like they don't both have their uses. You act like streaming is a bad thing. At least with music streaming the artist gets some miniscule money vs pirating their stuff.

Websites like iTunes or Bandcamp did answer that back then. iTunes also automated most of the process, meanwhile today users can't handle payment and copying to be two different processes. They prefer a service that has zero user input and they then accept zero user rights.
 
Goyifyim will never understand the power that comes with a sleeve of custom curated CDs for a car without an aux.
Ill take time out of my day to hunt for new artists instead of being spoonfed by an algo.
No gayshit like Weezer, you get to listen to my hand curated playlists or the sounds of my car engine.
My car, my music.

Recently, cloudflare broke my home-grown 4chan thread downloader. It's a cobbled together shell script that I wrote one day and has worked for the past 3 years, now it gives me a 403 error. All these cloadflare dialogs are very annoying especially on linux were they will regularly loop forever. Why did they have to go and break basic web tools that have worked serviceably for the past 30 years.

one last thing I forgot to mention is have you ever heard people talk about how they can't use technology in their dreams? or how they've never seen a smartphone or computer in their dreams? think about the implications of that for a second.

the average normalfag brain cannot separate what is on the screen from what is reality.

you're tellin' me people get to see what they do on their screens as real in their dreams? Lucky bastards, I just see my computer screen lol.

It's more than just recent tech. I tried to get into lucid dreaming a few years back and even stuff like text or clockworks are wrong in dreams. Clocks never show the same time if you look away for a second and any text is garbbled.

Have you considered one of the custom versions of the Spotify app like xManager? Or switching to YouTube Music Revanced?

I think I've tried xmanager and revanced and could never get it going.

Which sites do you use for your music torrents? I may just try that and getting a microSD card to hold all the downloads.

Bandcamp

I do have a Bandcamp, but the problem ends up being a lot of stuff I like isn't on there, or a band's full discography isn't on there. Also the occasional troon day thing they did a few years back soured me a bit on them.

Now on Amazon, you cannot filter reviews by rating without signing in, and you cannot see more than the top few reviews without signing in. Also signing in -- at least on a non-Chrome browser -- can cause an "internal error" that prevents signing in. WTF is this BS? Why does it seem like everything requires making an account or signing in now?

This is really annoying, and even Temu sometimes forces me to sign in just to search stuff. Even then, when you're signed it, every damn two pages they force you to do a CAPTCHA. It's so gay.
