Everyday things we have now, that we didn't when we started posting

I've got YouTube Red that I use with the YouTube music app. What's spotify got that makes it different to something like that?

I dunno, I don't have YouTube Red. I imagine it's similar. Just the ease with which we acquire music now is great. I used to have to search and download and label it. Now it's all done for me

I don't know too much about connectivity with other apps and services but I just find myself aversive to YouTube for Music because I don't know what it would feel like to navigate through when I connect to my car. If my music is in a playlist, Android Auto likely won't allow YouTube Red to play audio because YouTube is still a video streaming app before it's a music app. There may be a workaround but I don't think Android or Apple Car/Auto allow YouTube to be streamed out of the box.

We have two cars with Car/Auto capabilities and so it's a big deal for me when I'm driving them.

A salad spinner. I didn't have one when I started posting. True story.

I think what Spotify does right is that it actually feels more like a straight-up legit music player. I think it was the first one that really made it feel simply like your phone had 35 million high-quality songs on it, and Spotify was just playing them. The free tier is also cool, as you can listen to everything, just with an ad every 30 minutes and a limited amount of song skips allowed when going through a playlist.

Listening to the music on Youtube just feels wrong somehow, as it doesn't feel like it's made for music. The convenience isn't there, and I'm just somehow used to the fact that going to Youtube for music is going for those obscure, low-quality community uploads of niche songs. For proper listening, it's like buying furniture at the grocery store kind of feel.

I wonder how WinAMP is doing, lol

You ever use a modded Spotify app? I've been using mine for a few years now and it takes out ads gives me the premium experience, minus downloading songs.

I wonder how WinAMP is doing, lol

"On November 20, 2013, AOL announced that on December 20, 2013, it would shut down Winamp.com, and the software would no longer be available for download, nor supported by the company after that date.[67] The following day, an unofficial report surfaced that Microsoft was in talks with AOL to acquire Nullsoft.[71][72] Despite AOL's announcement, the Winamp site was not shut down as planned, and on January 14, 2014, it was officially announced that Belgian online radio aggregator Radionomy had bought the Nullsoft brand, which includes Winamp and SHOUTcast. No financial details were publicly announced.[73][74] However, TechCrunch has reported that the sale of Winamp and Shoutcast is worth between $5 and $10 million, with AOL taking a 12% stake (a financial, not strategic, investment) in Radionomy in the process.[75]

Radionomy relaunched the Winamp website and it was available for download again. Despite the website claiming that Winamp will be returning soon, as of 2018 no new stable version has been developed since version 5.666 from November 2013. In December 2015, Vivendi bought a majority stake in Radionomy.[76] The only change has been a new logo introduced in 2017."

Whoever was in charge of Winamp was horrible at business. Back in the day everyone used it, and selling it for 5 million 10 years after it's prime sounds like the worst thing one can do.

How do you do this?

Do you have an Android phone? It’s as simple as side loading the apk.

I’ll get you the link once I get home since at work now.

I think another thing that has hugely changed in the quality of TV shows. I mean. Things on TV now are of higher quality than a lot of movies; and the whole narrative format has really changed from what we used to have.

Oh yes! Totally agree. I find TV > Movies big time now. TV really upped its game.

Collapse. TV? I gave up on TV around the time Homeland came on and seeing the way my late step-dad on his couch got all excited about killing mooslems! I bitch slapped the cracker and he never recovered because he had high IQ.

 

[SiGh]

Money.

 

[Tha Massive Bell]

CEO lol Massive inflation that will turn it into toilet paper.

Do you remember the time when assholes lined up for toilet papers?

I had it stocked. They told me I was hoarder.

My tokens runs on diesel so I'm safe.

hahahaha

Better understanding of the world. I miss those smart guys that posted in WoW. I argued with them but they were right and I was wrong. I know that now.

On the other hand, I stopped being passionate about a lot of things I argued about or stood for. I just don’t care about people other than my own as much anymore.

The pandemic threw a curve ball on me not giving a fuck. It was tough like it was for a lot of us. The family is torn. I found out through an online article that my sister now goes by "they" --- which is fine, I don't care about pronouns as long as normal people are not punished for using the "wrong" word. But why now? She seemed like a smart person that wouldn't be wrapped up in that kind of game. It's a cult of victimology.

Yeah, what has been said has been said. I don't give a fuck about it as much.

What's Covid? Is it some kind of illegal government activity? I agree.
