NoneMoreNegative posted:Amazon music is part of the Prime package now, but I haven’t used it to see what the selection is like - there’s a free Prime trial you could try if you don’t already have it? theres amazon prime music which is included with regular prime, in addition to amazon music unlimited. its fine. id say it has about 70% of what you'd want to listen to (depending on genre), compared to like 90/95% on unlimited or spotify or whatever. not like everything you'd want but fine if you are lazy or cheap

I only know they exist because I got a voucher for them when I bought a separate mp3 player. actually wait they're "hi res " as well as lossless (they do 24 bit wav lmao) . for just lossless 7digital does flac.

why? lovely data caps are still a thing esp w/ mobile and anything that works ‘good enough’ will continue forever unless there’s a market incentive. no one else cares except audiophiles, and they’re whales as opposed to the long tail

I remember a conversation with a sysadmin dude in the early 00s, he tried to convince me 128 kbps is good enough, and no one can tell the difference between mp3 and cd anyway. tbf there was some dumb article in a popular nerdmag, where they invited musicians to spot the difference, and they couldn't.
