What bugs me is that quite a lot of things are not available. I ripped my entire CD collection and uploaded into Google Music (not sure if that feature still exists). I have all this music available but I can not find it on other peoples google music. So if I share a song, they get an error. Most of this music is nothing special and quite mainstream but if I search on other peoples devices I can not find the songs only alternate versions from other people who made a cover version of the song.
I am also worried now that songs will just disappear. I no longer remember specific names but instead hit thumbs up to add them to a list. If the song gets removed from google due to license expiring or what ever that song just disappears from my list and in have no idea that I every had it on my list.
- chewz 8y ago> I can not find the songs only alternate versions from other people who made a cover version of the song. Try some jazz like Coltrane or Miles Davis. It seems they never stoped issuing albums - remastered, Coltrane for lovers, Miles for cooking. It is next to impossible to find original album or remastered original. Yesterday on Youtube Music oldest Coltrane album was from 2015.
- imglorp 8y agoI think all these algorithms reward novelty to keep you engaged, which means snipers making phony compilations beat the original.
- orloffm 8y ago"or" here really simplifies things. Nowadays almost every 70s-90s album on streaming services is a remaster with overloaded levels and clippings. One has to resort to torrent sites to find rips from original CDs or vinyls.
- i_am_proteus 8y agoThis[0] is a good resource if you're interested in the dynamic range of remasters. If you listen to anything that falls into the "progressive" genre, this[1] channel may interest you. Only high-dynamic-range versions of albums, often ripped from vinyl. Steven Wilson has been mixing everything he can get his hands on and most of it is both brilliant and faithful.

- josteink 8y ago> Try some jazz like Coltrane or Miles Davis. It seems they never stoped issuing albums - remastered This is only done to prevent copyright expiration and having the album become public domain. You’ll see they only do it for “oldish” albums. It’s quite a scam.
- laumars 8y agoI thought copyright had been extended long enough that they don't need to do that? For example you don't see the same thing quite so much with other genres of music and music of the same age in those scenes haven't fallen into the public domain. (this is a question rather than statement)
- josteink 8y agoFor new works, but not necessarily old ones. The remaster acts as a new, “derivative” work and thus gets whatever new copyright protection is offered by newer laws.
- amelius 8y ago> Coltrane for lovers, Miles for cooking. And programming?
- Tepix 8y agoPersonally, Goa works for me. Try Astral Projection, Hallucinogen. https://ektoplazm.com/ https://ektoplazm.com/ is a great place to start sampling this type of music for free.
- GilbertErik 8y agoI generally like throwing on di.fm while working, but have started to really dislike commercial breaks.
- johnnycab 8y agoTry mixcloud.

- sosuke 8y agoAstral Projection - Another World - Nilaya I was passenger in a hydroplane car wreck while we listened to this song. No one was hurt though we were moving at highway speed it was just an accident. Everything moved so slowly as we went from parallel with the other cars to perpendicular at 65mph. Still love that song and album.

- titzer 8y agoThis is why it's so important that we resist pressure to upload everything to the cloud. Buy a 64 or 128GiB flash drive and put your whole collection there. (plus one probably for backup). Copy it to all your local machine(s). Copy the important stuff to your mobile.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoMissing my 160GB iPod Classic honestly. But nowadays oddly enough Google Play Music has most of the music I want and when they dont as OP does I upload them. One thing I do is buy the music and download it locally. Google Play Music gives me proper high quality MP3s compared to Apples m3a or whatever those were. Licensing deals are stupid. Also I do see smaller artists on Google Play Music being lumped together with half a dozen other smaller artists. I cant believe how broken that is and sometimes the artists songs I am looking for doesnt show up cause they dont even show albums featuring that artist in their album listing.
- fibers 8y agoi mean...you can load a good chunk of your library on an 400gb sd card and play it on your phone. it seems more battery efficient than constantly streaming music from an online account even when the cache expires consistently
- edpichler 8y agoMan, I lost my precious childhood videos after "saving" on the cloud. Google deleted it because of some seconds of the background music of AC/DC's on the radio.
- ekianjo 8y agoAnd there is no way to get them back? Completely deleted?
- edpichler 8y agoI can play it on a small window on the youtube editor page. But I could not find a way to download it back yet.
- sansnomme 8y agoPlease elaborate, was this Google Drive?
- edpichler 8y agoOh, sorry.. it is on Youtube. But I will never trust in any Google service again, as I did.
- toong 8y agoAww. This will only get worse over time!
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoWere these on youtube? I wasn't aware that Google did the DMCA takedowns complaints for the rights holder - I thought the rights holder had to make a complaint, and that would necessitate them being somewhere the rights holder could view them.
- edpichler 8y agoYes, youtube. Now I can't download it.
