It's about $50 for a Macbook Pro. And I have my music on 4 devices. Sure, I could throw $100-200 at music storage that I can't hear any difference in, but why the fuck would I? Again, this is golden-speaker-cables stuff.
- joecool1029 4y agoWhy carry it around on portable device? I've been streaming FLAC from a NAS for close to 10 years originally over sshfs and then later via plex. In 3G era I just used Google Music which transcoded my FLAC collection to 320kbps mp3 and I streamed it this way on the go. This was feasible around as early as 2009?
- Cupertino95014 4y ago> Why carry it around on portable device? Well, because you're carrying the portable device around anyway. And it doesn't require a network connection, so it works even when you have no cell coverage. I don't quite understand how your "streaming it this way on the go" worked?
- joecool1029 4y agoIt's pretty rare I go anywhere that lacks good enough cell service to stream FLAC with. I don't even live in a city, but I get it if you're really remote or can't afford cell service.
- Cupertino95014 4y agoIt's rare for me, too, but just last week I was up near Volcano, CA, and there's no Verizon there.
- wheels 4y agoI only have 3 GB of data in my data plan, which is always more than enough for me, unless I'm working over my cell connection. I could get more data, but doing that just to stream music (when I already have a working solution for such) seems silly. I think in the US people often have much more expensive and large data plans than elsewhere. (My entire cell phone bill is €12/month, including 3 GB data, and unlimited calls and texts.) I also very regularly go places with mediocre cell service: country side, airplanes, boats, and festivals.
