Music streaming services
Along_the_Wire MBB > Glastonbury
I’ve heard it all now.
Lol!
Along_the_Wire you’re giving up too early - it’s never about the main stages anyway
Absolute s to the werve for me this year!
Even if Ed may turn his nose up at The Prodigy, Four Tet, Leftfield and Caribou, one would have thought he’d at least be tops off and front and centre for Scissor Sisters.
They amount of missed points and width of sarchasm in this thread are off the charts. Well done all involved!
Does anyone here yse Plexamp? Solid service. Requires a bit of work to set it up but once done it’s very nice
This thread for me digging into streaming services - Qobuz pays four times as much revenue to artists as most of the other services (twice as much as Tidal mind). There’s also a purchase option - got a free trial for a month, will come back with a review of sorts soon.
Along_the_Wire Quoboz is decent but not great IMO. Has a lot of Hi-Res stuff I like and the download store often has useful purchases that you can’t get elsewhere like some of the individual tracks from certain old GU compilations. A lot of more esoteric eclectic stuff in their collection. I’m not a massive fan of their user interface though and I keep having to navigate and operate in French even after fixing it a few times. Had a subscription for a year but ended up using TIDAL using Soundiiz to import all my Spotify playlists into it. The difference in sound quality is big- vey noticeable in even car audio when driving round town.
I love that all my physical media knocks streaming into a cocked hat.
Wasily I’m used to Apple Music and it’s already better for me to find new albums - Apple is riddled with paid for artist promotion and shit EPs and singles where albums should be. I’m also thinking any clunkiness is a small price to pay to get more revenue to artists.
Amps Apart from when you don’t have it
Along_the_Wire When do I not have my phone or iPod on me? I just rip everything.
I’m just glad Snr sold the billions of records he did in the 80’s or 90s!
Amps How much are you spending on CDs and vinyl?
Along_the_Wire no more than I did in the 90s and 00s… it always connects, never gets deleted, quality is brilliant, no adverts and looks great on the wall / boat.
- Edited
Been happily using Tidal for 4 years now. They’ve started putting edits of club tracks lately too. But I don’t use it for house music apart from DJ mixes so doesn’t concern me.
