It's nerdy. Pointless though imo when you have a phone and Spotify. The days of hoarding mp3s are gone, thankfully.

- loser777 4y agoPointless until you veer even the slightest bit from what Spotify is able (cares?) to license. City pop listeners in the states will back me up on this one (it's not even an esoteric genre!) but where's Yamashita, Kadomatsu, or Sato? The Spotify US catalog is black hole here. Ironically the best legal way for listeners to buy this music is to fly to Japan to buy vinyl.
- ifelsethenyeah 4y agoKeep your hands off my FLAC and MP3 hoards. :P Actually, Spotify's catalog isn't that impressive. I use Plexamp when Spotify's choices get old. Soundcloud also has infinite permutations of remixes.
- 8fingerlouie 4y agoYou don't even need to add Spotify to that equation. I have all my music stored locally. It's about 300 CDs that i ripped (out of a 1000 CD collection) and stored the originals in the attic. Since iTunes removed their DRM, i've purchased my music there. My iPhone is "plenty" good for playing music where i want it, and with an iTunes match subscription, i have my music available in the cloud. I don't subscribe to any music streaming service, and i doubt i ever will, especially since "modern music" seems to be about cranking out one hit wonders with very little quality and skill. It may be survival bias, but i am hard pressed to find any band/musician from the past 2 decades we will still listen to in 2 decades time.
