Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said "It's like Spotify 10 years ago." as if that's a bad thing.
Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.

I moved to qobus. It's not owned by untied states capital.
I love Qobus. I heard they also pay the artists more fairly. It's just unfortunate that some big artists are still missing. And from what I can see subscriptions only work via the Google Play store.
And there’s some great quality CLI applications that let you rip source quality FLACs!
Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.

I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly
I have 3gb of space to share. Are there 150 other people like me that want to do some distributed hosting? What technology can handle this?

That’s disgusting. Where would you find such torrents?
Download and seed seed seed
I would never bookmark such a site! [clicks bookmark button]
The fact that annas archive exists despite how fucked up everything is right now gives me hope. Every time I start to feel cynical about the future I remind myself that there's people out there working to preserve the art and culture of our modern era with all the most powerful corporations and governments working against them, and they're succeeding.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
100%
...and Archive.org
what a beautiful, simple and well designed website
The album art torrent is a goldmine. Such a pain in the ass sometimes to find high quality album covers.

Oh my god did you guys just steal my music?! You each owe me $0.003 !!!
Did not see this coming when I built my 40TB NAS
My soon to be homeserver will have an astonishing 4TB of space. The CPU can handle up to 15TB (according to official specifications), but I am lacking drives that are big enough.
If I ever get the money to build a proper NAS I will 100% start going all in on Storage and start doing stupid shit like mirroring Wikipedia. I will probably not start mirroring the entirety of Spotify (which would be kinda sick NGL.), but I kind of have the problem that I Am kind of a data hoarder that likes to store excessive amounts of stuff I will never need. In the future I will also start seeding all the music I have, but I need a VPN with port forwarding for that beforehand (I'm currently kinda broke, so won't happen that fast)
40TB LOL. Where we're going, we're gonna need more space! Back to the Space, Part IV!
I'm building my first Linux setup and have a NAS planned out. I'm so stoked. I got a raspberry pi kit from my dad as an Xmas gift yesterday.

But are the files high quality, or is it the same low bitrate garbage they send to their users ?
