@killyourfm yes! All of this. I pay for no music streaming. Bandcamp and YouTube have everything for discovery and then mp3s and FLACs are life. I'm working on a blog post about it all 🤣
@killyourfm Good 4 U! I'm having a back & forth w/some guy insisting I use the free tier ad supported Spotify to support artists & not P2P. I donated all my CDs & Tapes to Amer Vietnam Vets & a Women's shelter. I explained "if it is free, you are the product". He can't handle that. Delete all cookies, telemetry, tracking beacons, etc. Use Firefox w/privacy containers, DD Go, Metager, etc..
@happycoyote12 I’d like to politely push back on one thing, as someone who works at an open source project. Telemetry is VERY important for developers to make data-driven decisions about the product, and improve it. SOME telemetry is bad, yes. But the kind most open source projects use is very important to the software’s development.
@killyourfm PS sounds like you might know your way around inner workings of coding? Any easy, simple, program or script to fix ERROR CODE: 0xc0000428? Much appreciate that.
@killyourfm I’ve been doing the same — I archive music on a large drive and keep a subset to play locally via Doppler and use Last.fm/Bandcamp/RateYourMusic for recommendations.
@killyourfm I recently started running Navidrome and access it with an app called Substreamer on android and ios.. it's basically creating your own spotify. You can run the server for about $5 a month depending on the size of your music collection. I used pikapods.
@timapple Cool! I use Plex and PlexAmp. I bought a lifetime pass to use all of its features and connected mobile apps a few years ago, and I'll never regret a cent of that purchase.
@killyourfm I also recommend 2nd hand ships for discovering. We have two in the city and you can listen to their CDs on location with your own headphones.
Also I already bought CDs where I messed up the artists because or similar names and discovered new bands the way.
@killyourfm I remember that Saturn once hat listening stations. But there you scanned the bar code and could listen with the existing headphones.
Not sure whether that still exists and whether Saturn has stores in Zagreb.
I can't find an English version of their website, so probably not: saturn.de/
