How Do You Get Your Music?

I didn't until a couple of hours ago :) I've never encountered the problem previously and I've never had to mess about in settings.

Every day's a schoolday!!

So can I swap to what you're using and get a similar thing?
If so I could save a bit of cash it all helps.
I only use it on my phone, link it to the motor via Bluetooth, plug into my old bose at home.
 
99% from Tidal. £20 sounds a great deal per month but a bloody fraction of what I used to spend on LP/CD's. Fantastic hifi quality and brilliant coverage.

I’ve moved with the times and the times have moved to a more convenient and higher quality listening world for music.

No matter what record companies or the actual artists say; music is not about the artists earning money (and it’s certainly not about the record companies earning money), it’s about the music being listened to.

If artists are more bothered about earning money than they are their music being listened to, they’re in it for the wrong reasons.

I have Apple Music and listen to YouTube Music too. The genres I like and the “Recommended...” sections are where I find my music, as well as BBC Radio 6 Music (although that’s one downhill this year as it’s starting to get a bit mainstream).

I couldn’t be arsed with a vinyl collection. An old house mate of mine had thousands of them and they all just sat there idle most of the time. A total waste of money and space for such little usage. And really they don’t sound that good compared to digital music now (as long as it’s not compressed).

People say stuff like “but that crackle you get with vinyl, it’s that authentic sound you can’t get with digital music”... but there’s no crackle when you listen to a band live, there’s no crackle when you’re sat in a studio listening to them record an album.

You can’t warp digital music like you can vinyl, you can’t jam and ravel up digital music like you can a cassette when it gets stuck, you can’t scratch digital music like you can a CD.

The listening experience of music now is better than its ever been. And while a lot of people are lazy and don’t search for good music that’s out there and come out with the lazy and incorrect lines like “music’s not good anymore” “music isn’t like it used to be” “modern music is rubbish”... if you actually look away from the mainstream (which is and always has been shit), there’s a world of fantastic music out there that in decades gone by you’d never be exposed to. You just knew what you knew or what your mates knew or what John Peel told you about, and that was that.

I disagree that mainstream music has always been shit. 60s were good.
Just my opinion of course.
 
Spotify, 10 bucks a month.
Sonos WiFi speakers, Bose headphones.
Don't possess any cd's or anything now. Life is much simpler
 
Anyone use YouTube premium.?
I use Spotify at the minute but always find a lot more music on YouTube that isn’t on Spotify.
Thinking of swapping them over.
 
I listen to youtube music (free version), there aren't too many adds in between songs and if there are they are usually 5 seconds long. The quality is also pretty decent. I thought about subscribing but don't really have the time (normally) to justify it with only having a 10 minute commute, and I'm up to my neck in subs (Netflix, Disney plus, Sky Sports etc).

If I like a new album then I end up buying it on vinyl, I have a pretty good blue tooth record player linked to a Marshall BT speaker. I don't go OTT with buying vinyls, perhaps buy one every one or two months which is the equivalent of a subscription to a streaming service, only I've got the music forever.
