Need to rip a CD so I can actually listen to it. Not actually sure how to do this in the year 2024. Find myself downloading… iTunes? For Windows 10?
Ahh, there's that Apple Experience.
FUCK i tried to download all the music i bought on itunes in 2007 and accidentally downloaded some fucking U2 album. There's no button to un-download it. Gonna have to submerge the hard drive in lye
I started moving away from Apple so long ago that I forgot you have to watch out for them trying to trick you into listening to U2
M… maybe… maybe I'll just leave that Cee-Lo Green album in the cloud :(
I believe I have now successfully exfiltrated all of my 2007 iTunes purchases to where I can listen to them. I am at 50% of my expected level of Kool Keith albums so I am trying to go on Amazon Music and see what I purchased there. Clicking through to music from the Amazon content menu, I find Amazon Music is now *only* a streaming service. They REFUSED to let me in unless I picked three artists I liked to feed Algorithm and then the albums weren't there anyway. (I picked Oval, Autechre, Boris.)

I like the idea of feeding Amazon's little autopicker a selection of artists it has absolutely no chance of having in its system.

What's that, Amazon? You've never heard of Pugilism and the Third Autistic Cuckoo? Well, I fail to see how that's my problem: the hot potato's in your hands now.

@theogrin i clicked "electronic" in their genre picker and they were like "oh! electronic music! you mean like rihanna and whitney houston!". Listen. I like Rihanna. But.

@mcc

Spotify, they ain't.

Hell, they ain't even Napster.
