They constantly push things I don't want, my album menu is always crowded with things I'd never want, who they think they are. God bless vinyls and cds.

Streaming can definitely be convenient, but I vastly prefer listening to vinyl records (or CDs even).

Old Expat Beast · 15 April 2021, 09:28 AM

I bought a cassette player recently so I could listen to some of my old tapes

Nice move buddy. Listening to my cds right now. Glad I own them.

Boothroyd · 15 April 2021, 09:54 AM

I love my 8-tracks and wax cylinders!

THC · 15 April 2021, 09:57 AM

What is streaming?

JasoninDenver · 15 April 2021, 10:31 AM

I like my digital audio files played brought a DAC for jazz and classical. However, the convenience of streaming means I listen to Spotify or Pandora 90% of the time. Plus it really has helped broaden my musical tastes.

MrGoat · 15 April 2021, 10:32 AM

Yeah wth is with Apple Music lately? I play a playlist on shuffle and when the playlist is done instead of stopping or repeating it just randomly starts playing songs I don’t even have in my library. I think it’s a ploy to use more data from those that don’t have unlimited.

Ah, the convenience of tapes

(from a vinyl lover)

PekWatchGuy · 15 April 2021, 03:49 PM

Me too. No apps and no adds.

Spotify is great

Cru Jones · 15 April 2021, 07:40 PM

I'm the opposite. I really like Apple Music....so much music at my fingertips and suggestions from the service are appreciated. I discover music I never would otherwise have listed to. I don't have the time like when I was a teenager to explore/experiment. ;-)

I also spend a lot of time commuting, so streaming is convenient.

I couldn’t agree more in everything you wrote, Cru.

All the music available to you old iPhone that plays the role of the entertainment center !!!!

A good Bluetooth Speaker ( i have 2 harman/kardon) and you have everything everywhere.

What happen your 8-Track finally give up the ghost???

Back in the day I remember the "real' audio guys had a Teac Reel to Reel.

I only listen to music in my car so I have an old iPhone and 2000 songs recorded.

I know, I know.....I'm ashamed.

The Joker · 16 April 2021, 12:43 AM

Tidal rocks, lot of master quality tracks.

SearChart · 16 April 2021, 12:59 AM

We have a lot on vinyl at home. And my whole music library (mostly .Flac) is all just files on my pc and phone. No streaming here.

Same here

I’ll add that I still have a record player though ... I guess I like it both ways

shaunylw · 16 April 2021, 01:12 AM

I use Amazon music with prime, no ads, really solid. Most streaming services are great if you use it consistently, build playlists and find stations or channels you like. With ads, it’s not great.

Also agree. You have to subscribe to a service to get the most out of it. I used the free spotify years ago. I'd search a particular artist I wanted to hear and every other band on earth would be played except the one I requested. That's what got me to pay for Apple Music.

I have subscribed two years ago. Yesterday I was having a beer at home and went browsing Deezer and couldn't find my favorite albums. It was probably updated and I hate when that happens so I instead of wasting my time I listened to my loved CDs and it was great. I'm not cancelling Deezer or anything like that though. I know it's useful but you guys must have better service with Apple Music I think.

Rashid.bk · 16 April 2021, 03:34 AM

Why don't you just buy/download the music to your laptop/phone/media player, organize them how you want and listen just like it was a CD/cassette/vinyl.
Quality isn't the same for sure but at least you get to hear what you want to hear.
I have a lot of music in my iTunes but I tend to use it less and less.

I have a spotify subscription and I love it. I make playlists, download artists I like, and tune in to artist or genre radio stations. Seems to have everything I need and want, streaming seems more convenient nowadays.

I used to do that but not anymore. I have two playlists on Deezer. Both were there yesterday but my albums were all gone and I have to understand why. Spotify is more popular than Deezer but somehow I liked their layout more. Truth is I'm an old man at 51 brother.

uscmatt99 · 16 April 2021, 04:29 AM

I've embraced Apple Music since signing up for the family Apple One plan. I appreciate no difference in the sound as compared to CD on any of my listening setups, and the convenience and variety cannot be beat by traditional music media. My wife is holding onto Pandora mostly because she likes the variety of playlists better.

CPRWATCH · 16 April 2021, 05:13 AM

Vinyl & CDs only for me .

daveathall · 16 April 2021, 05:26 AM

I buy a lot of Flac files and have them on a micro sd card for my DAP and also stream from Tidal, I have a subscription so download my playlists from there for offline listening. My wife, likes and uses Spotify.

I downloaded a lot from Geezer which is all 50s and 60s rock and roll.

Slip into a tie dyed, roll a fat one, park myself in front of the lava lamp and munch on whatever's handy. I guess the only down side is, they keep cutting in with obituaries of the band members.

It's getting pretty depressing.....

Hey, who ate all the chips??? I think there's another bag here somewhere....
