I pay for spotify.

I bought my last album a good year ago from some artists that I really liked via amazon music. But it was shit.

Didn't you listen to it beforehand? I always do that before I decide to purchase an album.

what album was it? do you prefer analog recordings?

An old anime opening single.

No, not really. I'm not an audiophile though, so you're asking the wrong one. How about you? Are you ans secret vinyl collector?

No. I usually like their stuff and was exited that they did something new that I immediately bought it. I primarily see buying an album as a way to support the artist so it is not so bad if this particular album that I paid for was shit. So it's ok I guess.

Was it PIRATE music?

I've been thinking about buying a vinyl player and some records because I like the idea (on paper at least), but I'm not sure I'd hear the difference so I'm on the fence about it

Vinyls don't necessarily sound better, but they definitely sound different, even to non-audiophiles. I usually share the music I buy and ripping vinyls is a bit of a hassle, so I won't buy vinyls anymore in the foreseeable future. I sold my vinyl player anyway.

This year so far I've bought several digital releases on BC (only 1-2€ each) and two LPs (expensive though. Including shipping I paid 60, haven't bought one in a while) after the tape price surge I've experienced I only buy cassettes rarely nowadays. When I started they sold them for as cheap as 6. Not willing to pay at least 10+shipping. Oh well

I am fine with BC 1-2€ releases though

Last Bandcamp Friday, that is, 4 days ago.

I bought a CD around 5 months ago because it was for under a dollar and cause I like having physical copies of music over digital.

Didn't an identical thread get posted only a few months ago?

Yesterday, I bought 4 albums of Caifanes, a Mexican Rock band for a very low price (not pirate btw)

Bernd never paid for music

always pirated

I posted in your Smiths thread on Kohl

did you dump all smiths songs

ye

btw what music player is that

mpd + ncmpcpp

Is it better than cmus or mpv?

cmus are similar, better than mpv because mpv is not like them

Last I payed for music when I was a concert.

I mean when I went to a concert. But sometimes I dress as a concert on Halloween.

How do you dress as a concert?

I remember being very young and getting an Eminem CD from my stepfather.

It was the only physical CD I have ever really owned.

Other than that, I bought like 4 songs from iTunes way back in the days.

Last year iirc, either a copy of ‘we’ve only just begun’ by the carpenters on lp or a two disc greatest hits by the temptations, basically just for ‘get ready.’ Got some buddy holly pls for free from the giveaway box outside the local record shop but one is unlistenable, other was a good find. Sadly didn’t have wild child but that’s no worries

I like City Pop. A few days ago some SACDs I ordered arrived and I ripped them all to FLAC format and now listen to them on my PC.

My listening process: cd in the directory and then a simple "mpv --no-audio-display *.flac". I have to specify that I only want to play flac files, because my rips also contain a .cue and .m3u file, which I don't want to play.

Just bought CDs from Bandcamp again.
