Now thats what inconvenient is.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yup, can understand if your library is small, but for bigger libraries that's definitely the most inconvenient thing you can do.

Speaking from experience because I was basically forced to do it that way when I didn't have regular internet access yet. My library was longer than 50 days. Just Hip-Hop alone was above 100GB.

I used to find a shitton of music that way, but the inconvenience was real. Worst was music that I had to tag myself for example. Love mp3tag but that's shit.

I find it inconvenient to have limited skips and depend on one service to give you the song you want with the version you want. Also spotify ui doesn't make sense to me, things just don't work at times. Not to mention the ads.

If you pay for premium you won't have most of those problems...

I don't like paid services, especially when you can get the same or most of the same stuff for free. It's just not worth it for me, so that is my suggested alternative, doesn't work for everyone.

Not really trying to argue with you but we were not discussing your preference haha😅 Just trying to say spotify premium is pretty convenient at a cheap price

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I'm saying if you find it worth it to pay fir premium go ahead, I don't.

There's cracked apks out there for Spotify if you're completely against paying

Unlike movie and tv streaming music streaming convenience is no contest for piracy if you're an enthusiastic.

And this is coming from someone would download albums and discogrpahies, using programs to meticulously tag and organize them. I wish I had the time and patience now, and for the highlights of my collection I will, but with my music craving a music stream subscription is well worth it.
