If you want to ensure you'll always have your favorite music available, nothing beats buying physical media. Buy it once, own it forever. #BuyPhysicalMedia https://apnews.com/article/apple-spotify-streaming-music-transfer-63a137afdfbf94c8cea3ec4909255d83
One Tech Tip: How to move your music library to another streaming platform

Switching music streaming services can be daunting, but there are ways to transfer your library. Apple Music now offers a feature for users to move their libraries from other platforms. This feature, available in several countries, uses a third-party service called Songshift. Users need an Apple Music account and the latest app version to transfer their playlists and songs. Other platforms like Tidal, Deezer, and Amazon Music also offer transfer options using third-party services. Spotify is testing a similar feature. These services make it easier to switch without losing your favorite music.

People: I remember back when I used to rip all my CDs...

Me: Yeah, me too โ€” like the two new CDs I bought last week. #BuyPhysicalMedia

The latest version of Windows Media Player makes ripping an audio CD less intuitive, although it can still be done (for now). There are other capable tools that will do the job, but MP has made ripping to FLAC fairly straightforward.

As long as music can be purchased to play on things that spin, I'll buy new albums. I'm not interested in paying for the same music access every month. #BuyPhysicalMedia

It ended up costing more than Amazon with shipping fees, but I've ordered Noah Kahan's Deluxe CD "Stick Season" from his online store.

My wife introduced me to his music on her streaming thingamajig. This will be the first album of his I've purchased. I'll keep buying physical media of stuff I like for as long as I can. #BuyPhysicalMedia

Hello fellow movie lovers and collectors.

I'm a German #movie buff that has managed to collect over two thousand titles on #physicalmedia in my short life; and because I enjoy watching other collections and discovering new titles and special editions that I didn't know of yet, I decided to "go public" with my collection as well. This was in 2019 on Instagram.

Due to recent events, I've decided to move my activity from that service to #pixelfed and do a re-#introduction . When I was a child I already had a movie collection of #vhstapes (mostly Disney movies) but those where collected for me; I actively started collecting movies on #dvd in the 2000s. I had a break at the end of the 2000s and in ~2015 my collecting spark was rekindled with the #bluray . I have hardly any keep cases but focus on packaging like #steelbook #fullslip #digipak #digibook #mediabook, etc, and hope to present to you some well known, but also a lot of not so well known but really beautiful German releases. Most will be updates to my collection but every now and then I might port another old post from my instagram to this account, or pick out something older from my shelf to share with you.

I hope you enjoy your visit and if you do, drop me a line or start following me :)

PS: The picture shows my collection from 2019; currently it does not look so nice anymore; I had to add two additional shelfs, and once they where full I started filling the shelfs with double rows.

I love the ships from The Expanse!

FYI everyone, The Expanse seasons 1-3 will be leaving Amazon in early February. Seasons 1-3 were produced on Syfy not Amazon.

I loved it!

With the looming death of physical media, I will miss all the extras that came with those media and all other documentaries.

Between this, the movie extras and other documentaries, I have hundreds of clips and specials about the alien universe!

"Inside the Lens: The Raw Cut" is a full-length split-screen version of the movie included as a special feature on the 4K Blu-ray, featuring unfinished VFX and showing how the actors use motion capture to deliver their performances as apes with optional audio commentary by the director, editor Dan Zimmerman, and VFX supervisor Erik Winquist.
