Please remind me again why I should use Spotify.

>>62078203
Because you're a beta cocksucker

>>62078203
Because you like to pay for music?
Because you like your data being harvested by proprietary "music players"?
Because you like to support the current record labels?
Because you don't like the idea that a significant fraction of your money flow to the actual artists?

I don't know...

I use Pandora. Roku via HDMI to soundbar. Don't want to download an app to play music, and I have flash completely eliminated from my computer, so it won't work on my laptop.

>>62078364
It's not free as in freedom. You don't get to play the music other then a third party allows you to or when they allow you to.

If this is how you perceive downloading music then I can see how you need an app for that. I do wonder, though, which app you need to breath and shit.

>>62078203
I've heard that they're pretty useful for discovering new music, as they can just serve up random music that's similar to music you listen to. This isn't as easy to do with downloads, because you'd need to consciously decide what you want to download to expand your library, and the downloading takes a little bit of time.
Aside from that, being so retarded you don't know how to use other methods?

>>62079258
Breathing and shitting is automated just like Spotify
Not everyone has time to find the torrent they want off the music tracker download it then move it over to my phone when I could spend literal seconds just listening to music immediately on Spotify

>>62078203
>literally every artist is on Spotify
>easy to discover new artists
>can download songs
>family account: up to 6 different accounts of premium for a total of 12€/month (2€ each)

I don't know, maybe I'm not aspie enough to care about m-muh freedum when listening to fucking music

>>62079292
It's possible to do with last.fm scrobbling
But yeah the Spotify discover new music is very convenient I always find at least 10 songs out of the 30 they give you nice each week

>>62079314
Finding a torrent is literally the same effort as finding a song in spotify

i use hacked spotify for android. It's free. I did not update that apk in 2 years. I've yet to see or hear an advertisement.
I used web player built with flash on my desktop, but it was shitty. Now they have remade UI so it's complete trash. You can switch your browseragent to fool sppotify into giving you old design, but it's still shit, and one day will stop working.

on android it's godsend.

>>62079258
what other alternative you suggest? Downloading all this shit from all over the place and the manually tagging and catalogging? Do you have a life? Diferent naming schemes, different audio gain, different tagging. Fuck that shit.

Spotify is for cucks who think black people and "wub wub" hipsters are good at composing music.

>>62079329
I've been using last.fm lately, and it seems kind shit. Just a bunch of people that happen to also make anime/game soundtracks I think.

>>62079314
>Not everyone has time to find the torrent they want off the music tracker
Same effort as Spotify.

>download it
Literally effortless.

>then move it over to my phone
Can be automated, so literally effortless as well.
In short, it's as effortless as Spotify. If you don't have shit connection it's as fast as well in practice.

>>62079341

You keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means. . .

>>62079341

This doesn't contribute to downloading being a hassle. You autism does.

>>62079426

Lord have mercy on those bitch ass newfags

>>62079447
Have you ever considered the stuff you give "them" for free as well? : ^ )

It's a trade. Not a fair trade for you, but you're to dumb to notice anyway.

good luck finding somethin a little less popular, even with the help of private trackers
then you need to rename it to your liking
if you have broad tastes in music then even 128gb card is not enough
every torrent out there has different tags and quality

on spotify you just search "nick mercy" and pick out album you need. 3 seconds and music is playing

>>62079451
spotify -> search -> digitalism
full discography, pick and start playing
piratebay/whatever -> load up webpage ridden with adds, wasting your cpu cycles on adblocks, search digitalism -> find 4 same upload of 1 album, 2 uploads of second album and a discography until ~2014. 5-7 seeders.

>>62079483

There are ways around that, besides you can get them at quadruple the size.

Music discovery. No idea how good it is on Spotify, but on Deezer it works fairly well for me.

>>62079505

private trackers can publish your ip

>>62079524

writing a perfect script for that will take ages, and it will still make mistakes because you cannot predict every case scenario. And use time. Updating mp3 tags for 2000 songs will take you AT LEAST a minute on a quad core.
>every torrent out there has different ... quality
>Not if you're not a retard.
I'm willing to bet that I name 4 different albums from my "collection"your go to private tracker will do not have them completely, or at least not formatted in same way. With useless extra shit bundled.

Learn to read what you quoted, your reply is unrelated to it.

>>62079632
>Or both.

And both are FOSS, so that's not a problem, fa.m

does modded Spotify allow the highest quality music and downloading?

>>62079665
Nope. Both features are tied to your account so there's no going around it.

It does remove adds and other retarted thing like forcing shuffle on you.

>>62079676
>It does remove adds and other retarted thing
Nice English.

>>62079676
sounds good enough. I only pay $5 a month for mine so it's not too much of a hassle but I might try to skip a bit and see how the modded one holds up

Cause it lets me easily share and collaboratively create playlists with my friends, because switching between devices without interrupting playback works well.

Because I have an unlimited data plan, because I can't be arsed to fuck with torrents.
Because it lets me discover music easy as fuck, and the discover weekly playlist is actually pretty neat.
Because I have a vinyl collection and I couldn't give a fuck about the audio quality of my digital content as long as it is listenable and not obviously garbage to a normie.

>>62079684
My bad.

>>62079685
I never felt like I was missing any of the paid features that the modded APK doesn't fix, but I don't use it as a main player. Just for music discovery.

>>62079644
you're just another fag in programming socks, not a technology enthusiast. You do not have to be neckbeard autist in regards to every field. You can code while watching netflix. Or you can develop commercial grade software on a mac. I'm willing to bet that in reality you are much more fitting description of an apathetic consumer than me.

>>62079645
shall I automate me fucking your mom every other night as well? You've probably have a script hoarded for that occasion.

>>62079656
there are no true FOSS smartphones, so it's a moot point. I run mine without any google framework shit (which sometimes is penalizing) but they still have their greasy hands on your hardware. And IIRC there was an open source half baked player for spotify, which talked to their servers.
It's impossible to completely enjoy your tech using only FOSS solutions

What's even the point?

>>62079897
the point is having access to all of Spotify for free and without forced shuffle

>>62079905
If you can't access "your" music without an Internet connection and a fast enough one at that, what's the point of making a modded app?

>>62079924
the point is having access to all of Spotify for free and without forced shuffle

>>62078203
>not hosting your own Ampache Server

>>62079935
Who cares about forced shuffle? Isn't actually downloading your music an important task for a modded app? What's stopping them from adding that option?

>>62079315
Not a lot of house music but I understand that.

>>62079981
>Who cares about forced shuffle
I do and apparently the mod maker
> Isn't actually downloading your music an important task for a modded app
not for me, I don't have much in the way of "my music", I like discovering new stuff
>What's stopping them from adding that option
I assume the premium features require a server side handshake unlike the ads which can be blocked locally

>>62079981
not enough people caring I guess?
I don't live in a 3rd word country and can stream music to my heart's content. If I couldn't I'd probably still use torrents, but the hassle of going through whole process really hampers broadening of your musical horizons.
It's probably really easy to rip from spotify, but noone cares.

>>62079523

Spotify has almost everything. I literally shared a hotel apartment with this guy during my vacation in Bulgaria and he's on there. I mean I suppose they don't have whatever india Japanese vaporwave shit /mu/ likes but they exclusively like obscure shit so who cares

I feel like I listened to and became attached to entire albums more often when i used torrents. Now I just know a couple songs from whatever artist that I forget about in a couple weeks or months.

Bullshit. There's no obscure (italo) disco on spotify, electro is also severely lacking

>>62080273
He's right a lot of time they'll have like only one album or single from an artist. Still got to dig for music when you have time.

>>62080250
>Spotify has almost everything.
I'm entirely sure they don't. You're just happy with what they allow you. So much for "broadening your horizons".

It's not about that at all. Just because Spotify has everything you personally wanted to listened to, that doesn't mean it has almost every piece of recorded music.

https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=1332&t=2181183
Even modded apps don't allow streaming in 320 kbps, because the audio quality is tied to your account. So, with a free account, it's 128 kbps MP3s. I didn't realize it was this bad. Eh, torrents and Soulseek still exist.
