do you nikkas not know how the internet works? :mindblown:
:russ: nikkas actin like streaming doesn't use data... the song just catches the holy ghost and jumps into your cache data free.

Folks, if you use the internet, even just to surf the web... you're downloading the data you're looking at. Those images that you see have been downloaded for your viewing pleasure. A download doesn't only constitute something on your phone or computer that you can physically open... every time you use the internet you're downloading data. The website you're accessing is uploading data. So when you stream a song, the service (Tidal, Spotify) is uploading, and you're downloading temporary data.

That's the whole point of them charging for services that were once free... the server strain of these services constantly uploading data to users costs a lot of money.

For the people who don't understand people still getting physical copies of shyt, or even downloading digital shyt – it's very simple: You don't own any of the music you're streaming. So when these services decide they want to shut down, or change the rules, you dedicated streamers are fukked with no music.

Spotify allows you to save songs to your phone over wifi.

I've always been proud of my huge music collection on my externals but since I got Spotify last year I never really dl shyt or use my collection. Streaming is one of the best things that had come out.

You should revisit that shyt everytime I do I find some heat

Yes, but then it's no longer "streaming". You're still doing that same thing the majority of us used to do...downloading the music. When I download an album from my PC or phone as a ZIP or whatever, I'm also saving for offline listening :laff:


This Man Said Download From A Zip On His PC :dead:

Do you know how reading works? :wtf: let me try this with caps and some other operations

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD EVERY TIME, ONLY THE FIRST TIME.

It's to your advantage that you read the full sentence before you comment.
You can get every song you want with wifi, just like you get them from iTunes, the coli or anywhere else except physical CD's and if the cost is your problem presumably the cost of buying the cd's, gas and on will cost more.

I've noticed that people who like (and like to brag about) having 600 gigs of mp3's on a hard drive are the same type of adults who are into Dragon ball Z. Nerdy collector shyt


Also, you can add your own music ( like "rare freestyles :krs:") to Spotify

You Know U Can Just Save For Offline Listening Right?

Spotify allows you to save songs to your phone over wifi.
You have to have an active Spotify account for that to work. The music you're "saving" for offline listening is not your music. If you don't have an active Spotify membership, that music is no longer accessible.

I use soulseek for albums mainly.
I'm about to drop a couple of kilo's of vinyl tomorrow at a store simply cause i can download everything from those artists today.
