Do you even use MP3s anymore on your pc / laptop?

Grudge · Post by **Grudge** » 24 Nov 2020, 04:55

I don't think I've used MP3s in years, I only listen to songs on Youtube when I'm on my PC or Laptop. Because of that I rarely get new recommendations because Youtube isn't good at that.

Slightly different story on mobile devices where it makes more sense to have mp3s when you're out and about or connected to the vehicle's bluetooth. But even so I recently wiped my mp3 collection on my phone because I was so bored with the same old list.

i still have a massive amount of stuff in MP3/AAC that i ripped or downloaded years ago that i don't have lossless equivalents for. everything i buy now is either lossless, CD (which i then convert to lossless) or vinyl

I still use iTunes and mp3s regularly for music in my phone, iPad and the car (mp3s in a USB stick). For my PC, I still use Winamp.

I still can't justify the use of Spotify and the like as I have 144 GB worth of mp3s. It's just more convenient for me overall.

I don't care/never cared for music recommendations in those music streaming services since I don't really care for new music nowadays. I also don't feel it's my 'responsibility' to be updated in new music, even if it's from genres that I regularly enjoy. If I'm in the mood for new music (which is a rarity), I just manually search in YouTube or Google or whatever and see what comes up.

i use spotify the most, but i use my mp3s when i want to be on airplane mode, which makes my laptop's battery last way longer. or when i am driving in remote areas with no signal, i use mp3s on my phone instead

I think streaming services are what I use mostly. When I'm home, usually LP or CD for listening.

Grudge · Post by **Grudge** » 27 Nov 2020, 01:30

Would one of you be able to make your sizeable mp3 collection available? I'm getting a new phone and would like to add new music to it.

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 28 Nov 2020, 07:08

What kind of music is available on Spotify? Can I get pretty much any music I want, including death metal?

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 30 Nov 2020, 01:42

yes, download the free version to check it out, there are adverts every so many songs, can't skip too many songs in a row etc but it should give you a taste

OK, on the recommendation of this group, I have signed up for Spotify. Seems good so far. Definitely better than that piece of shit Netflix subscription I have.

Luke I've followed your profile, hopefully that clears up your question. Your list of 90.s death metal is a good place for me to start getting my stuff.
