The music has always been freely available to us, we pay for the delivery
that pirate activist group is based in?
so what, what's on spotify that can't be downloaded elsewhere?
>>217810578this literally changes nothing given that you could find a torrent of any song ever in the entire world on just one website. it’s just embarrassing for spotify and their retarded boomer shareholders will probably get mad
>>217810628>>217810609>pirate activist group pays for $100B+ in global data centers and hosting costs in order to deliver free streaming to the world!!!haha take that spotify!
I use a hacked client, never paid a dime for this crap
>>217810661>that zoomerette born in 2006 who has never heard of peer to peer
>>217810699>*HORNS AND CAR ALARMS* THAT BEAT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO YOU BY DAT PIFF DOT COM AND NOW BACK TO THE MUSIC>DEEEEEE JAAAYYYYYY NIGGER LIPPSSSSSS>Real. Trap. Shit.
>>217810578nothing prevented you to torrent that shit before zoomie
Imagine if they put this music on the Pirate Bay and other peer to peer torrent sites. We can all share it amongst each other and listen to it on our dac+amped studio headphoned phones together with Anime OSTs in FLAC format
>>217810578Ah yes, let me just download that 300 terabyte bulk torrent on my 2 terabyte hard drive
>>217810578It's actually over for europe..
>>217810578I don't think the value is in just having all the files but rarher in the streaming service
>>217810679Which one are you using, mine stopped working earlier this year
>>217810816Autists are completely impossible to grasp why people use Spotify and Netflix. Its the world's biggest mystery to them. >But you can just set up your own media streaming at home NAS server closed circuit Raspberry Pi Apache C++ mainframe and have it --git compile all the torrents from rutracker on demand
>>217810661It's a torrent
>>217810578Isn't all music just on youtube and whatever? I thought people only used spotify for listening to music on the go
I only pay for spotify because I like their anime songs playlists
Good. Music is preserved, datahoarders do your thingy
>>217810578>golemnigger can't grasp that for once the value of a "tech" company is actually in the technology
>>217810578I download that much data myself alone from youtube every month
>>217810885>>217810816$11/month for all the music I could want very easily on demand is a small price to pay imo. Music is highly valuable to me. I'm fine with paying artists that I like and encouraging more creation of the same.It's one thing if you're too poor to buy creative works but pirating it is counterproductive if you actually want them to stop enshittifying everything and for decent creators to get paid and do more.Streaming services get hated on but it's never been easier to financially reward niche artists that you specifically like. Every time you stream their song it's a clink in their bucket.
>>217810578>>217810885I meant to write:I listen to music on spotify and apple music because I want to support the music artists I listen to.Some of the artists I listen to are Japanese bands with less than 1,000 monthly listeners, I listen to them to support them. Of course, directly buying their music from their websites would also be good but I don't have the money for that yet.
>>217810578i mean not really. 99% of people won't download their music (certainly not from a torrent)
>>217811161>>217811193Even if you don't want to support them (personally I don't care) it's still nice you have 70% of all the music in the world right at your disposal.
>zoomers don't know P2P and torrentsGrim
>>217810938Youtube has a better selection imo.No idea how they get money that way though.
>>217811318I'm a boomer and really enjoyed the 2010s when streaming became big and stuff like Netflix offered you a huge library for little money.It's all gone to shit now but it was much better than the pirate era
>>217811383Can you get the 1 TB bluray release of your fav anime from streaming websites tho?
>>217811477anime streaming has gone to shit, both netflix and crunchyroll use AI subtitles.
>>217810578There's more to tech than software services.
>>217811266 What about the other 30%
>>217811946>What about the other 30%
why would i want 300tb of normslop
>>217810661https://youtu.be/pGGDdKZvYpI?si=CiBg-WoTtDFiybKA
>>217811161I wouldn’t pay for Spotify because it very often does not have the music I actually want. If it had LITERALLY all the music in the world then yeah probably. As it is the only time I use Spotify is for easy listening on my phone at work. So the ads don’t bother me.
>>217812135the only service that has nearly everything is youtube music but i'm never going to give money to google
>>217810578Isn't spotifyshit music shit quality wise? What's the point if you can download whatever you want for free anyways
>>217810885how fucking retarded are you people? you can literally type any movie name and add cмoтpeть and you'll get 10 russian pirate websites for almost any movie.
>>217810578>lossyshitWhat a waste of effort
I don't bother with Spotify, it barely has any anime ost's or vocaloid. YT music for me all the way
>>217812211>What's the point if you can download whatever you want for free anywaysI want to financially support the music artists I listen to
>>217812211not exactly, their streaming can be shit but that doesn't mean the files on their servers are low-quality
>>217810609Haha exactly, this headline is stupid. >Omg Madonna-pappa don't preach has been pirated online. Anyone know where to find it!?
>>217810699At this point every song you'd want is even on YouTube, and you can easily play it all without ads
>217812231Like I said, they will never understand
>>217810578>the only valuable Nordic tech companyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson
300 terabytes of nigger music
>>217810866blockthespot still works for me
>>217810578I stream from own my home server from my cd rips and pirated musicI pirate all movies and TV showsI will never ever pay for a streaming service
>>217812507ABB, Saab, SKF, Atlas Copco, Electrolux. Sweden is underrated.
>>217810578>check torrents>the music is uploaded in .mp3 instead of .flac because the pirates "wanted to save space"Worthless nigger.
>>217813499audisubhumans like you need taken out back & shot
>google>youtube to mp3>click on first result>download and place it in my mp3 player
>>217810578As our Lord and Saviour once said: "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem".I had absolutely zero problem with Spotify service.
>>217813897I do, many problems in fact
>>217813499>torrentsUse soulseek like a non retard
>>217810578>no music is available for pirates now Yeah like it's never been before... >x Ah. Explains a lot. Probably zoomers who have no idea how to pirate stuff.
>>217812612i'm considering doing it, already have Plex Server set up in a old laptop. i hate how Spotify keeps showing me fucking podcasts and nogger music """recommendation"" despite i never listened to any of it.
>>217813499based rotational velocidensity knower
>>217813499check rutracker, shitton of obscure FLAC torrents over there
>>217810578all of this shit was torrentable anyway
>>217813897piracy is not a problem
Born 91 here and never used any streaming services. What's the point? Takes no time at all to torrent/p2p. If that's too "difficult" then you can just download shit from Youtube. Jesus, it's like when I pirated a bunch of new movies (4K, Dolby Atmos) onto a USB drive for my brother's birthday and his zoomer friends were baffled by it since "the movies aren't out on streaming yet"... There's no hope for the future, is there?
>>217812611Oh i meant on android, on pc browser + ubo origin works perfectly for me.>>217813641mp3 is literally subhuman tier, ALL mp3 files have a 0.5-1sec silence at the start.
>>217814825>ALL mp3 files have a 0.5-1sec silence at the start.You must be downloading some weird ass mp3s
>>217810619I think Russia
>>217814877It's true, look it up. Once you learn about this you'll notice it everytime annoyingly.
>>217815208It doesn't happen and even if it did, I could just reencode and cut that shit, as I do with live recordings
>>217815401>It doesn't happenlook up mp3 encoder delay
Whats the point of spotify when pretty much everythings on youtube anyway
>>217814708>Takes no time at all to torrent/p2p.I want to support the artists I listen to.
>>217815803youtube ui is shit to navigate
>>217815841Isn't SoundCloud or Bandcamp better for supporting smaller artists anyway? Besides that I'm pretty sure a direct donation would benefit them more than some listens on Spotify... but you do you
>>217814825okay I don't give a shit nobody gives a shit audiosperg
>>217811161>>217812279artists don't make their money from fucking streaming services, those pay an absolute pittance in royaltiesif you wanna support the artists, do it directly by buying a t-shirt or somethingyou really shouldn't feel obligated to pay for streaming services because the middle man takes the lion's share of profits
>>2178156820.5-1 sec delay is an exaggeration Any music player has a feature to skip silence, crossfade transition exist too
>>217810578I already have a modded spotify on my laptop so I get premium free. Don't have it on my phone though but I dont intend to pay to use it on my phone.
i download all of my music because i don't want the (((algorithm))) to decide what im supposed to listen
>>217814825>>217815208your player just doesn't support gapless playbackstop using windows xp saar
>>217810578What? It's not like spotify's music library was exclusive to it, all the program offers is convenience of access. You could always just download the music from other sources.
>>217817717thisalso you can download in much better quality than what spotify has
