"if you routinely copy a portion of your music to your phone, of course it makes sense to get more storage."
Well, if you've only got a portion then the only difference between having 10% and 99% is how frequently you have to copy new music on/how long you can go without having to copy new music, at least in my case, where I delete albums off the phone as I play them, and copying music between linux server and android phone via samba/wifi is fast and simple. Streaming - ugh... i use public transport including the tube, I fly (sometimes), I end up in areas without perfect coverage, and I listen to flac so you can't stream that well, and it would take a lot of data, and the choice is limited, and I'd be renting music not owning it forever. Streaming doesn't solve a single problem for me (my daughter loves it, though).
- lozenge 7y agoListening to flac on the tube... pick your battles! Can you hear the lack of compression over the rattling and shrieking?
- iamnotacrook 7y agoBack in the day i used to listen to CDs on the tube and no-one told me I should be listening to a cassette based walkman instead. What's changed?
- leetcrew 7y agopersonally I just don't like to decide what I'm listening to ahead of time. I like to have my whole library available at any time. I'd love to have all my flacs/v0s on my device, but it just isn't feasible with current capacities/prices. music is an extremely personal thing though. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people have very different usage patterns.
