last year i went through all my playlists on spotify and counted maybe 30 greyed out tracks that were removed at some point in the last 8 years that ive been using it. not cool
up to that point i was generally happy enough paying for streaming but im slowly starting to move back to offline storage now and plan on just using spotify to discover new music every now and again.
ive given over 700 to spotify over the years which seems crazy now and ive recently spent around the same amount on a synology nas to store my music library, but at least the tracks i own wont suddenly disappear
- rsync 9y ago"ive recently spent around the same amount on a synology nas to store my music library, but at least the tracks i own wont suddenly disappear" I would think twice about that. I, also, have all of my music on a local fileserver and I would never consider giving iTunes or an iDevice access to that share unless it was mounted read-only. When I sync my music library (which is made up of files and directories, not "songs and albums") to my laptop, I rsync it over from the filesystem which is mounted read-only. I don't need my mac to "discover" "music files" on the network and start "helping me" organize them.
- briandear 9y agoYou must be great fun at parties. You make music sound about as fun as getting circumcised.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoThat's not really the fault of Spotify though, that's a rights holders problem. They've added far more songs than they've removed.
- inapis 9y agoThis is an inherent risk of using streaming services. Nothing exclusive to spotify.
- mackrevinack 9y agoah yea, replace "spotify" with streaming services. i just mentioned spotify because its what im using at the moment
