Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out
Edit: It needed me to sign up with an email address and I saw it had in app purchases that put me off a bit. But when looking for that app I found Musicolet which looks pretty perfect, just a simple ad free music playing app without all the bollocks!
Fair play
I liked Google play too. I was not pleased when they moved to YouTube music and made accessing your own music a total pain in the balls.
They’re absolutely objectively worse from an audio stand point.
I agree that they give you a different listening experience, which is subjective.
Retro sound of a CD?
They sound exactly the same as the digital releases. Only audiophiles up there own arses believe that they can hear a difference. Vinyls sound different but for obvious reasons.
I agree that some cases are brittle but I’ve not seen a disc get fucked since I was a kid, when I couldn’t be bothered to put them back in the case.
I’d buy the vinyl as a collectors item, but the CD to upload on to my phone.
I view vinyls as collectors items, not something you actually listen to. I still buy CDs because I hate the idea of subscription services.
I hate subscription services, for the cost of a Spotify subscription I can but one or two CD albums a month.
I buy a vinyl here or there but just to collect. I listen to my CDs.
The only vinyls I buy are from charity shops or because I love an album so much that I want it as a collection (I’d also buy the CD to actually listen to)
Keep kidding yourself that you can hear the difference.
Vinyls have their appeal but they get dusty, scratched, they skip etc. Only snobs truly think that they sound better.
Digital music can be taken as easily as it can be given.
CDs are the best compromise. They have sound quality as good as digital but you also get the lyrics and artwork that come with a vinyl, they’re also much easier to store. The best thing though, is that if I get bored of a CD, I can sell it or even just give it away for free, you can’t do that with digital music.
You’re right, they’re not people, they’re fucking parasites.
