How Do You Get Your Music?

[OB1]

I am no Luddite mate and all for advances in technology, but I have to disagree with the vinyl thing. My vinyl collection pretty much sound tracks my entire life. There is a life times worth of memories attached to it. Yes it has cost me a ridiculous amount of money considering a lot of them go for pennies now, but It has been worth every penny. Every record holds a memory and every vinyl collection tells a story.

I have a lifetimes worth of stories attached to buying vinyl, where as I don't have a single one from listening to Deezer in the car.

There was a lot of time, effort and love put into collecting my vinyl, but also a lot of pubs, clubs, gigs, festivals, mad nights out, new friends and partying to go along with it.

I use Deezer for ease, but I still get a buzz out of the postman knocking on with a new record.

There is a lot more to collecting vinyl than just buying records :-D

I haven't bought vinyl since 1987 and very rarely play my vinyl but I won't part with the several hundred LPs that I own until I absolutely have to. There are a hell of a lot of memories attached.

I moved onto CD's, which lack the romance of vinyl, but building that collection is still a labour of love.

Deezloader seems to be in a state of flux currently, with the original developers not working on it any longer. I have the latest version, 2.6.1, and when I input my token code it logs me in. I can then download tracks but none of them are visible in My Files & when I open Musicolet player and scan for new tracks none show there either.

All (serious) advice & suggestions gratefully received.

Spotify. 10 quid a month.
Brilliant value considering we used to pay that for one cd alone.
It's worth it just for the podcasts.
There's probably better value out there but I've never seen the need to change.

I have non premium Spotify but nothing paid for fits my 'tight bastard' budget, hence why I use Deezloader.

I'm a right tight bastard make no mistake.
But a tenner a month is great value for what you get.
I think I got 3 months free when I first signed up. Might have been 6 even.
What I was impressed with was how quickly newly released albums appear on there.

If you have anyone in your family who is in full time further education not using it you can get it for £4.99 with a student subscription.

Panic over, folks, as I'm back on free music.

For anyone struggling with the new version of Deezloader, go to settings and change the bitrate from FLAC 1411kbps to 320kbps and you are good to go.

This is why I willingly pay a tenner a month mate. I haven't got a clue what any of that means lol.
