Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? - Lemmy.zip

What’s the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can’t keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I’m willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month. Are you guys just gonna keep paying for YouTube music as the price tops to $30 a month? Seems like every week these clowns are raising their prices.

I used to move around a huge library of mp3s. I just can’t be bothered anymore and spotify does a reasonable job for a reasonable price.

If only could easily access most movies and TV with one subscription. But anyway this was about music.

Price has gone up 30% in 10 years or whatever since I started. But then so has every fucking thing else.

Fwiw, a self hosted wireguard gets you easy access to that large library wherever you are 😉

I mostly listen to music when I’m driving and 4G connection is spotty as soon as you’re outside of town, so I’m still copying the files around. If spotify pisses me off I’ll probably make a media player that syncs mp3s over a vpn. If there is not one already.
