Forget spaceships, I just want my music

I will happily spend lots of money on TV shows, films and music that I like. But if I have to have more than two streaming subscriptions in order to maybe get most of the content I like for an undisclosed amount of time thanks to opaque rights deals, then I’m going to want to find other more permanent and reliable means of accessing that content WHENEVER I WANT, even if it means buying and ripping the physical media myself. For shows or movies I want to revisit at a moment’s notice, I can’t rely on services that can easily just delete the content without notifying me.

you didn’t explain anything you brought up?

It’s ridiculous that I can buy said record, but can’t stream said record.

Companies forget that we’re not paying for the movies, but the convenience. If they make it less convenient than piracy, then we will pirate it

Why do content creators have to explicitly say they don't endorse piracy? Are we in North Korea or something? Free speech and opinions aren't a thing anymore?

lol I love how you take the "Unbiased" Approach whilst continuing to lay out all the facts straight. Leaves the video Uncontroversial but also gives all the feelings the audience should be feeling, Like anger and frustration towards these piece of shit companies who could get away with murder if they wanted to

yeah i've noticed this problem over the years and i now download everything that might disappear from the internet that i like. i still miss some and lose them

Best is to buy your favourite music on vinyl, CD etc or getting a good digital download with no dumb limitations etc.

This century SUCKS.

I knew that keep downloading my music in mp3 format was not a bad idea after all.

As a published music producer I can tell you we retain control of WHERE and WHEN our music is distributed. Apple is not at fault for this one. The artist or producers decided to pull it in favor of whatever it is they are doing now. However platforms have varying business models on HOW your music is distributed and you have no control of that.

You won't have your music, and you'll be happy.

This why I buy cds. If it’s only available on a streaming service I record it.

Reasons I buy a lot of my favourite music and have mp3/WAVs on a hard drive:

The age of streaming really is over, I've gone back to the old ways.

How about a cool shirt in the merch shop with the phrase "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" ... 🙂 Honestly, it's true, right? They do it with subtitles too ... Some movies I watched at a friends place (the next country over) there were no English subs for the movie (or any other languages), only in their language. Crazy shit.

Just record everything on a linux machine and use a VPN. Then clone then files to .exe simple solution

I bought some music on iTunes about 10 years that I can't even re-download. The artist removed them from iTunes and Apple Music so now when I try to download I just get blank 1 second long tracks. I love digital media!!!

Bruh, I can’t stand when Apple Music does that. I’ve had this happen before with songs I put in my library from CDs that I paid for IN MY REGION OR COUNTRY!

Boy if only there were programs that can hook into the API of every single major streaming service, and spoof the ones that don't have one, all to give you the thing you want right now.
If only there was some kind of internet protocol that could handle the large scale decentralized distribution of user-submitted files.
Gee, if only something like that existed.
... Yeah, if you make it impossible for me to pay, i won't pay ever again. Simple as.

What a shitty world we live in. Piracy all the way.

I feel this. There is this indie German song my friend found on Spotify. I liked it enough that I wanted to buy the album but there is no way to buy it in my region unless I go through a bunch of weird geoblocking region workaround garbage.

I remember seeing the bluey show tbe first time it was beautiful I love when they incorporate classical music in kids shows instead

I remember discovering Locoader and never going back.

Well, I’d better download a flac copy 😂

If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't theft

You have kids?? I legit thought you were 16. Or maybe you are?

vpn moment

The thing I dislike about streaming media is exactly what you experience. There is a well know Mexican actor and comedian named Cantinflas. There is nowhere online where I can stream his movies. This could be region locked as well but I have no clue. The only way I can watch them is by buying DVDs on eBay and that’s exactly what I did.

Playstation/Sony renewed their deal with Discovery, but the points you make aren't immediately invalid because of that.

Why do I have the feeling that Jellyfin will disappear?

Finamp to use your jellyfin music library, and includes offline

Apple used to have a perfectly functional music service that every user liked. You paid for the music and you had it in your library. Once the files were on your computer and iPod, they were yours to keep. And then they made it infinitely worse.

And that's why pirate is on the rise again.

Why don't you add Music to jellyfin? You can buy CDs for lossless audio or Blu-ray discs for Hi-Res.

I recently switched from iPhone to Android and the only thing I don't like is not having access to the thousands of purchased songs on iTunes. The other problem is I don't which software from the app store that will enable me to reliably transfer music from iTunes to my memory card or on the phone. There are many such versions of these apps but there's no way to know which one actually works. Why hasn't Android put their own iTunes compatible software on their phones that will enable user to play the music they bought?

Any app or subscription fee means the music or video will eventually evaporate. I still have 💿 versions which of course do degrade with kids handling them or playing in the car. I find op shops (thrift stores) great in finding old dvds or Blu-ray’s for now

You know what you can't do today, Jeff? Plot x, y on the screen! In Atari Basic and Assembler you could do that!

Ugh. Yes. I hate streaming music "rental" services. Bring back for-sale MP3 as the norm

Yeah. I just bought 3 wd gold 8TB drives, RAID 5 and downloading everything. Sick of this

Professional mother 😂

This is precisely why I’m now in the process of stepping away from Spotify, for the sake of Soulseek, Musicbrainz and Foobar2000. Also, actual lossless. All for free. Sick and tired of awful service.

Wonder why i never heard of it lol...someone buy up their competitor? And make it impossible to acess?

My friends and I had to pirate the first Resident Evil movie because it's not available on streaming and no one wants to hunt down a DVD because we wanted to watch it that day.

Love your channel, and recently coming back to this video, but I have a couple of questions that I can't find with a quick google search. 1) Do you use a dedicated MP3 player for your kids or yourself? If so which ones have you liked the most? 2) What do you use to manage your media library for offline playback? I am looking for a good alternative, and recently getting nostalgia for my good old iPod Classic, and back them iTunes. I want to take my music back!!!
