  • I do own a CD player yes and that’s part of the reason I do enjoy the physical media piece.

    The other part of buying the CDs is that the music is kept in-tact. I’ve had a couple of albums from my own childhood/teen years that are just straight up not available on any streaming platform for one reason or another. In those instances I’m very appreciative to have an exact copy of the music, as it was when it was originally recorded.


  • Apple Music has some quirks but it’s what I’ve settled on because I already own mostly Apple devices and it handles importing owned media well (after you learn some of those said quirks)

    It allows me to keep my personal and streaming library in the same app but also has some segregation between the two. They also pay artists more than Spotify.

    I still try and buy CDs for any music I really care about. It’s the best way to support the artist and also I appreciate the nostalgia piece.









  • How come these accusations aren’t thrown at piefed? Like it’s almost the exact same thing as lemmy just with more features like multi-community feeds, which could entice users over to piefed and leave current lemmy behind.

    Or is EEE only EEE if it’s a corporation doing it?

    Edit: I’m legit asking, I objectively don’t understand the difference between the two unless we’re taking motive into account? But that’s hard to prove motive either way.




  • Late 90s for me and we were VERY into music so a lot of my early internet experience was on a site called shoutweb.com. It had news articles and forums dedicated to music and tours.

    It was so much better to be able to search through and find different fan websites and forums. Nowadays that’s just Reddit and Facebook groups, and although I don’t use either anymore, they were never as good or as fun and compelling as all the fan sites made back in the day.
