What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month.
Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.
I steam it because ironing melts the vinyl.
It’s also the only cooking method that preserves nutrients in the groovy basslines
Do you only use Monster steamers? Gold plated to transfer the steam without losing the lower frequencies?
Monster uses Ultra Premium Distilled Hydrofluid in their steamers, and no other brand comes close. If you’re not using a Monster steamer, you are losing fidelity.
After steaming I compress the tracks into a purée with 192 kilograms of olive oil. Good omega-3kHz.
You heathen! Compression wreaks havoc on the mid-tones, even if it’s the Virgin cold press with no steaming!
ahem
It’s an Albany expression.
I am streaming my music, but from my own server at home.
What’s your preferred client? I switched from plexamp to fintunes, but I really hate the app and the lack of functionality.
Jellyfin + Symfonium is such a great experience
Jellyfin has pretty good Linux PC clients too. Even the main Jellyfin client works well for music.
Thanks!
I’ve been using mpd (Music Player Daemon), originally with icecast bc it didn’t have built-in http streaming, but it has for a long time now, 10+ years.
Plexamp. It does everything I want flawlessly, so I really have no desire to switch.
Yeah, I just switched to Jellyfin because of the Plex updates to their accounts, but I miss Plexamp. I considered running both Jellyfin and Plex just for plexamp, but I’m wary that they might eventually paywall remote audio streaming, too.
Oh, I didn’t even realise music was exempt from those changes. I’m sure glad I got the lifetime pass when it was cheap.
Seconded on Plexamp; there is no other streaming client that will let you play your own music that’s close.
No, I am frying my music. It gives the sound a crispier edge.
You call them steamed jams despite the fact they are obviously grilled
Well, cooking your music leads to some nice results, too.
What seasonings?
Red hot chilli peppers?
SAULT, and Pepa
I’ve never paid for a streaming service. All my music is on my local device.
You call it steamed music, despite the fact that it is obviously grilled.
I prefer it poached or grilled, but I’ll accept steamed
Deep fried for me. Yes my cholesterol doesn’t like it, but eh…
I prefer mine broiled.
But I’ve also never paid for a music service.
Never paid for streaming. Usually buy music and download the files to play on my computer or stream them from the computer to my phone or wherever. Mainly have been buying lossless .flac music files from Bandcamp.
Bandcamp is the way if you’re into any smaller genre of music.
I still occasionally pick up CD’s, as I do for blurays… I’ll check out charity shops if I pass them, go to car boots… it’s why I keep an old BDrom in my server, so I can rip the files from them, convert and have them available to stream around the house.
I don’t, I just play the thousands of mp3s I’ve collected over the years.
I like to air fry mine, gives it a nice crunchy sound 👌🏻
I use a dedicated MP3 player and a large FLAC library.
I use MusicBee, running on Wine, to listen and synchronize automatically.
I don’t believe in subscriptions, and therefore won’t pay for one: no music streaming, no Netflix, no Game Pass, no Adobe.
I do not stream. I have over 6K in my MP3 collection. I’ve never used a music streaming service.
Cheaper than buying for me, I on avarage would spend up to 6-7 times more on physical a month.
Steaming seems a bit too extreme… it might damage or peel off the labels, or even damage the discs themselves, depending on the temperature (and I don’t want to see what it’d do to tape!).
Personally I’ve always found a microfiber cloth to be sufficient.
Hah! I didn’t even notice the missing r, even after seeing the more recent saute joke from someone else. N1
I don’t stream music. Mostly listen to rips of all the CDs I collected over the decades plus stuff I saved over the years in the spirit of recording music off the radio, which is perfectly legal.
It means I don’t really have much new music, but never was super excited about music when it is new. The benefit of being behind the curve is the crap gets filtered out!
