Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
I have sold all my vinyl
And I have shelves creaking of cds 💿
And all those wires
And all that dust
And switching everything on and off
Cd player , amp , speakers , tuner
I gotta move on
What's the best app for music ?
Which ones don't have any adverts ?
And is it worth paying for Spotify etc ?
We then get onto plating it
I clearly need a speaker
I have a small flat , I have neighbours , I am not playing Sabbath and need a set of Marshall stacks , small and compact but good quality is fine .......
Will a couple of those alexas do ? Or are they more for checking on the weather 🤔
What's a surround bar ? Is that a form of Bluetooth speaker ....is alexa a form of Bluetooth speaker ?
What am I looking at paying ? Believe me some of the stuff I listen to doesn't need peak performance! We are talking thick , soupy metal

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
Spotify is definitely worth it imo. As for speakers, JBL are very good quality's and last a while without being too pricey.

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
Spotify etc, all great.
CD's, meh.
Mistake to get rid of your vinyl mind..

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
Definitely pay to not have adverts on Spotify.

Wasn't 'Insider' a poster who had the weird and disturbing avatar on here?

I have packed mine away and put the best ones in the car. I like the concept of an album as a 'story' so enjoy CD's for that, but am building up a vinyl collection of my favourite albums that mean a lot to me etc
CD's are also handy for frisbies, scraping ice off car windows and placing on womens nipples

I am thinking of boxing mine . I recently spent 60 quid on a limited edition tool cd
I got a good price for my vinyl , I don't think I will get the same for my cds

Yeah CD's almost worthless.
I'd pay £20 for good vinyl. I may pay 50p for a CD i guess.

I got 100 quid for an Alice In Chains gatefold EP
My cds are just going to gather dust . I have them all written down alphabetically though so they will always be with me in spirit

Be careful of the jab followed by an upper cut.

Would be a great fight if he has Simon and Garfunkels 'The Boxer' on CD

They're probably worthless. I got rid of mine about 12 years ago. Gave some away and put the rest out on the street.

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
anyone who suggests Spotify should be made to listen to Genesis for the rest of their lives. Spotify pay a pittance to artists, giving something like a £1 for every 100,000 plays of a song.
Stick to vinyl, it looks better, it sounds better and you're making sure the artist gets a fair proportion for their work.

Weren't Spotify up in front of the House of Commons recently to try and change their ways? That's gone quiet recently
A mate's band got about 15,000 plays on Spotify, they got £20. I find the best way to support artists you like now is just buy stuff off them directly, go see them live etc that's what I tend to do.
I can see the arguments for apps like Spotify in terms of finding music, but I think its important to support artists you like in other ways

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
OK so alexa , jbls etc are a 5ype of Bluetooth speaker ?
A surround bar is too ?
I think I am getting it now

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
Spotify has never appealed to me, I like the idea of owning the music I have. All of my cd collection has been ripped to my pc and I have a Dropbox subscription if I want access to it or my hard drive fails.
I should think about getting rid of my CDs, some of the early now music compilations sell for around £20 on eBay. 90s dance is my genre and some obscure cd singles can be worth over a fiver. Anything mainstream and popular isn't worth anything.
I bought a Rega Planar 2 for my 40th as part of a middle age project to discover vinyl. I rarely use it any more and I keep thinking about selling it, but I don't think I can.

Some of their stuff looks nice mid range
I don't need studio sound

Re: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century
I have hundreds of vinyl LP's and 45 /EP singles.....(and cassette tapes....)...never would get rid of them...they have an entirely different -and better - sound...scratches et al...my first record (45) bought at Fred Fey in Pontypridd...(right by the toilets now consigned underground...)....who remembers them? That was So Deep by Brenda Lee...before I even has a player...also many bought at Spillers records on The Hayes.
