Was gonna go to YouTube to listen to a song, but then remembered I have the album in .opus format, so why not just listen to the whole record, it's been a while anyway (Helmet's 'Betty').

Use physical and (properly backed up) digital media when you can instead of streaming, kids. Try to own your own shit.

Other than whyp.it and clyp.it, does anyone know of an accessible site where I can create a profile and upload mp3s with titles, descriptions, and tags? I am not referring to music. These recordings are things such as product reviews and demonstrations, personal opinions on various non-political things, demonstrations of how to do things blind, and general discussion. I am not interested in artwork or complicated layouts, nor in extreme sensorship (obviously barring illegal things). If you've seen Whyp and Clyp, then you know what I am seeking. Basically, it's an audio version of Youtube. For some reason, the Pricing page on Whyp won't let me select monthly, only yearly or lifetime, even if I click the monthly button. I also couldn't even get to that page from their site but had to use a search engine. AStill, the man who runs it is very responsive and kind. Maybe, I'll try sending him an e-mail.

I listen to a lot of music. I mean, a LOT.

At least, I USED to. What my dopamine seeking AuDHD brain does is put on a massive playlist, press play then SKIP, SKIP, SKIP, SKIP..

I'll hear the first few seconds of about 20 tracks before I listen to one then repeat the process for my 2nd track.

I don't really do New Year's resolutions but I'm stopping this. I plan to listen (at least) to songs the whole way through and (at best) to entire ALBUMS all the way through in the order determined by the artist.

I keep listening to the same songs over and over. The audio equivalent of comfort food. I need to challenge my taste and venture back to the rich musical landscape i once trod daily.

Great piece by @machaddr on mp3s, their importance, and the folks who developed the mp3 codec: https://machaddr.com/blog/articles/2025-10-23-mp3-visionaries

Also new post to my new #pixelfed account...

My #tangara aka big gay #ipod arrived last night!

Currently a 64GB #SD card with whatever random #MP3s are on this #macpro I will be getting some tunes form my #cheesegrater #macintosh which is used for syncing all my #ipods

What’s the best way to buy (not stream) music mp3s these days, to support the artists? I’m trying to get away from iTunes, but individual artists’ websites rarely have direct-purchase options. I’ve heard mixed things about Bandcamp lately, but it’s better than iTunes, right? . . .

Edit: Thanks for the responses, everyone! I spent a good chunk of the day on music for my winter playlist—mostly on Bandcamp, where I dropped more than $50. Feels good!
