CRUSTY MINGE posted:Amazon lets you download music for offline play. A ton of services do this and it's extremely frustrating riding on the subways, trying to listen to poo poo I paid for and downloaded, and every 45 seconds having it cut out and tell me there is a licensing error. I've largely stopped paying for media again because the paid platforms are all such garbage.

It wouldn't be so annoying if the downloaded music didn't actually use just as much data as streaming. I tested it with an album on a there and back drive one time. Almost like having music downloaded does nothing at all.Paladinus posted:So it is literally an mp3 player? They put alexa in an ipod nano.

I download stuff with Tidal and never have a problem listening to it on a plane or in the middle of nowhere in the car. Capitalism still sucks of course but

The iPod Shuffle was the last Apple product I ever owned that actually lived up to the hype or came within spitting distance of it even. I guess now it's been reinvented to be worse and cost 5x more lol, the reason it was dropped is almost certainly because it was viewed as affordable after all. It really was the perfect gym player, clipped on and you just drop your playlist onto itHarold Fjord posted:Jenova's Paradox casts Meteor Yeah the whole point of car is to be massively inefficient.

I simply steal all my music and buy merch off bands I like directly. I miss my old iRiver mp3 player. It had a button you could press to add markers to songs, and once you placed two markers it would just repeat that section forever.

when you think about it, babies are the ultimate tactical carry, their hands with opposable thumbs allow them to equip all sorts of attachments like binkies, sippy cups, and ba bas that would be impractical with any other loadout

Walkmans are where it's at, aux out into the tapedeck to create sick mixtapes that you can even share with your friends. Plus you can listen to new black metal releases.
