Thread: Music Lovers , Bring Me Into The 21st Century

  1. #1

    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

    Spotify is definitely worth it imo. As for speakers, JBL are very good quality's and last a while without being too pricey.

    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

    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.

    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.
