Everyone i know that has an iphone has no music saved on it. They only listen to music via streaming services and if theyre in an area with no internet connection, that means no music can be played. Now thats to be expected of normies, so no surprise there. But even people i know that make music or are even into more underground artists, they have no idea about the music from those artists that isnt available on streaming services.Like ill be riding in a car with my friend and theyve got their iphone with spotify playing, and i ask if i can connect my phone. They reply saying to just look it up on spotify using their phone, but the song isnt available there. They didnt even know the release existed because all they know are the limited selection of what spotify has available.Its really ironic that the company that invented the ipod makes it so you cant directly download audio files on their phones, where still in 2026 and beyond, you HAVE to use itunes if you want to have your music on your device or use some kind of workaround. You still cant simply connect your phone and drag and drop your music library. Yet some of these people claim they loooooove music so much. Guess they all just dont love it enough to actually own their own audio files.Why does apple and its users hate the idea of easily transfer/sharing music, storing your own audio files locally, and being able to play them without an internet connection?
>>131595227but you can put your own music onto an iphone, you add them using itunes.dumb frogposter
>>131595227>why don't you just do these 20 steps to do thing blah blah blahdon't care. still using spotify
>>131595275Already mentioned this, lrn2read4once>>131595340Plug in android, drag and drop, disconnect. Thats 3 steps, and not only does it work that way in linux and windows, but works on mac too. The same cant be said moving music to an iphone
>>131595488>androidlollmao.wouldn't be caught dead with that poorfag shit in my possession
>>131595227You can download your spotify/apple playlists and play music offline.
>>131595568You can spend just as much as an iphone for a flagship android if you wish, its just not required. Pretty sure you already know this, so you dont even have an argument lol. Or maybe you didnt know, iFags usually arent very smart. They likely arent even aware of most of the facts i mentioned in the op.
>>131595628You can download it as independent files, and use with any audio playing apps. Or do you mean how you can only listen to a playlist using the spotify app? Can you then also transfer those downloaded spotify files to your pc/mac? Can you send those downloaded spotify files to friends via text, chat client, etc?
>>131595630ok poorfag lmaooo
>>131595630Kek this nigga use an obamaphone
>>131595227>They only listen to music via streaming services and if theyre in an area with no internet connection, that means no music can be playedyoure a genuine retard
>>131595676>>131595688>>1315956974th post and you still havent said anything to counter anything ive said. I understand youre very mad but at least make a valid argument or something
>>131595227You can download music from streaming services so it will play in the app when you have no signal. Everyone you know is just retarded.
>>131595227>>131595488>>131595628>>131595630>>131595716Picture of OP.
>>131595716my counter is: iphone is better and just werks. i'm not using your poorfag green bubble bullshit
>>131595227This is one of the stupidest posts I've seen here in years.Not even a Kpop thread deserved to die for this tripe.
>>131595227Androids look and feel like shit. the OS too. You are aesthetically inept so your music taste can't be that good.
>>131595870Do you even know what an mp3 or flac file is? I think you zoomers dont even have the slightest idea of what terms im speaking in. You cant download music as audio format files in streaming services such as spotify. Whatever you "download" from spotify is not a transferable file, that you can play in any media player of your choice or send to someone on any platform that allows file attachments.Im trying to speak plain and simply, hope this clears up any confusion>>131596014Yet you thought it was worth replying to hmm. What might that say about you? Thx 4 the bump btw, stay mad>>131596075Ill let you know when i want to hear the deciding factors and opinions of a woman lol. Nows not the time
>>131596269you pay for spotify out of convenience. some people value time over money. let's be honest, there are no real downsides to using spotify on your iphone
>>131596344>let's be honest, there are no real downsides to using spotify on your iphoneWell, being a piece of shit is the main downside. Switch to Bandcamp and hopefully you'll eventually improve as a person.
>>131596389Spotify is optimal. You can open the stores of Spotify artists to support them without having to but their music first. There is no real downside. Same applies for AI guided bedroom production btw
>>131596344That might be true if most spotify users were paying ones. However thats not the case, most spotify users are unpaid. Simple net search will reveal that to you. But let's be honest, you were never trying to make a valid point, just arguing with me out of spite>>131596389Oh yeah isnt there controversy about spotify fucking over and pimping out artists, basically taking the lions share from their earnings? I remember a couple years ago there was some articles about that but im not too familiar. Yet still all these so called music lovers defend the service thats fucking over artists. Another point to add in the case of these "people" not actually caring about music
>>131596528How is Spotify worse than piracy?
>>131595227Ipod was a device for music enthusiasts, iPhone was made goyim, so no wonder
nigga people in general dont care about music now, its just backround noise for attention span depleted nitwits unless its used in something on netflix, then it just reminds them of that thing they liked
>>131596528Lots of cope. So many forgotten bands were revived through spotify and tiktok. Of course it sucks to have zoomers in the audience but streaming is net positive for artists.
>>131596583With piracy you're not making any money off the artist. The creators of soulseek or people that upload torrents and etc arent making money off the artist by doing so. With spotify the artists intention is to make money but apparently theyve been getting jewed out of their earnings.>>131596661Sounds like they were forgotten for a reason, they suck. Idc what zoomer tiktok music has been revived by spotify. I bet youre probably thinking of that one boring shoegaze band. I remember someone posted here about some old shoegaze band that got back together because of tiktok or some shit. The music was so ass, should have stayed disbanded.You likely dont even have personal examples of bands that were revived by spotify/tiktok that you listen to. Just trying to grasp as straws to defend spotify lol
>>131596818>arguing about popularitylisten to imagine dragons then
>>131596818twee emo is very algorithm-driven. Everyone Asked About You, 125 Rue Montmartre, Life Without Buildings etc
>>131597801Is that what you got from that post? If so you have poor reading comprehension>>131597820Thats some pretty bland redditcore, but to each his own i guess
>>131595227i listen to music on my iphone i have apple music, youtube music, soundcloud, bandcamp, and the web, so i pretty much can access everything its really easy. I can even ask Siri to play the radio stations I like from all over the country. I care about music a lot, I seek out good music that interests me and listen to it. and i have an iphone because it's the best phone. idk man i can tell you thought a lot about this but i think you're wrong
>>131595568>buys into marketing hype 100% wholesome with no question outsourcing all thoughts to brandretard
>>131595488One of the most frustrating tech experiences of my life was trying to drag and drop some photos from an iphone onto a PC, it's amazing how they refuse to use something that's been a standard for 30+ years just to make their users seem like special snowflakes
>>131595227never had an iphone. never streamed any music. never will. simple as
>>131598834>redditcorewrong. it's typical indie nerd music and has been posted here forever
>>131596269Holier than thou pretentious faggot. Anyone on an image board knows what those things are.
>>131602152The sovereign aryan path>>131602640Sounds like some shit anthony fantano would review and give a 10/10. Which is probably a good thing for you, not me tho. Either way, i dont care about bands/artists who are motivated to make music again just because they discovered they were getting some buzz on tiktok/spotify and now they see an opportunity to capitalize on it. You might revere so-called artists that solely create music for profit, not me tho>>131603013Yet the person i was responding to was implying that a spotify "downloaded" playlist is the same as an actual downloaded audio format file. Youre giving these zoomers too much credit. Most grew up with ipads as toddlers and dont even understand the basics of how to use a desktop pc. Most dont own any of their music or even have a single mp3 file saved to their phone, so why would you expect them to know what it is?
>>131603414Forgot pic
>>131603414They didn’t imply that you just took it upon yourself to mong out about why having an mp3 is better when that’s not what they were concerned with.
>>131599846Apple just needs to hire a couple hundreds or thousands of indian engineers to make this happen. Maybe by year 2070 their "cutting edge" tech will have the same basic functionality of a computer from the early 2000s
>>131603414lol you sound very clueless. diy emo bands making music for profit? are you retarded?
>>131603446Go read the op again. Then ask yourself if what im talking about, is the same as a downloaded spotify playlist. If youve got at least 2 brain cells youll realize they arent the same. So when someone says a downloaded spotify playlist is comparable to what im talking about, that means they are implying audio file formats are the same as downloaded spotify playlist.Hopefully you were able to keep up this time. I tried make it very easy and simple for you to understand, but i cant understand it for you sis, sorry
why is this bald millennial assuming he is superior for downloading mp3 files?
>>131595340There is literally zero (0) reason not to be using tidal instead at least in 2020+10-4. There are even a ton of ways to transfer playlists and stuff.
>>131603530What the fuck is a do it yourself band? Do it yourself as opposed to what, the instruments magically coming together to make the music without musicians present?>>131603575>you should be inferior like me and not own any of your musicSmug zoomers always have the saddest copes lol
>>131596344You pay for Spotify because you are a fucking retard who can't read. I can't think of a single other good reason.
>>131603616my iPhone doesn't have enough space for all those downloads. I prefer Spotfiy
>>131603608you have shit taste and don't even belong on /mu/ if you can't get into indie
>>131603649Tidal is literally cheaper and higher quality you stupid cow. You can even just pay for it for one month then rip all the FLACs you want to keep on your PC. Also I call hogshit I have hundreds of songs on my phone.
>>131603657As if gay guitar music with whiny man voice is good taste.
>>131603560Can’t read award
>>131603649>poorfag didnt buy the 2tb iphone for $2500LOLDude just delete your cúckporn folder. Or stop being a poorfag and buy MORE icloud storage. Then you can move your cúckporn folder to the cloud and make space for musics
>>131603707>higher qualityno. it's also a pussy repellent. can't even join a session with everyone else. and no wrapped
>>131603717you don't fit here
>>131603717Downvoted>>131603788Upvoted! Heres some 4chan gold, friendo! :)
reddit is when indie. total tourist death
I have an iphone and spotify, and I also have a dedicated audiophile-grade mp3 player.
>>131604037More like reddit is when /mu/, right up there with /ck/
>>131603717You don't know what indie is.
>>131596528Artists deserve less.
>>131604329Especially these spotify "diy artists" or whatever the fuck that even is xD
>>131604472go back
>>131596014OP's fundamental point is correct though. Something like iTunes, even when you "buy" a song, is not the same as actually owning the file and doing what you want with it.
>>131603788Stupid fag. I've been here since you were in your dad's nuts. /mu/ has always had shit taste.
