I just got the Youtube subscription so that I can listen to instrumentals on my phone without the app closing and not having to download every thing I want, since it automatically creates a offline mixtape.

I also had TIDAL for Money and Violence season 1 but they went ahead and removed it for some reason :francis:

I use Spotify, and Soundcloud but they are free too use, the subscription services are pointless imo.

remember when each CD was $14.99...
...and now yall complaining about having damn near everything you could think of for $20 :mjlol:

How do you expect companies to survive giving everything away for free?
Do you expect to get paid when you go to work?

Go make some fukking money you bums
Bruh...i'm not mad at streaming services...but if i'm a JAY Z fan...I can't even go to Apple and listen to all his shyt. Do you realize how fukking retarded that is?

:mjpls:1994hiphop + torrents + message boards + usenet

if you hate downloading a free user from file hosts such as rapidgator, uploaded, nitroflare, and etc, you can always use real-debrid - you can download from so many different file hosts at high speeds if you sign up with them . plus it has a torrent downloader that will convert links to http links


*it's a old picture as megaupload and rapidshare don't exist lol but these guys are legit. it's great if you have kodi setup. exodus, salts, and other addons use these guys

download them mp3 320kbps files man

or FLAC if you about that life :birdman:

OK...All these services want $10 a month.

Ok. Lets do the math:

Netflix?

Youtube/Spotify/Apple/Tidal/Google/Amazon/...soundcloud?

The fukk man?

I mean seriously? And you can't even find ALL artists on a single platform. The single thing that I use apple for now is beats1 radio...and i WOULD pay for them but they don't even have all the artists I want.

Now soundcloud is trying to milk $10? You fukking serious?

I'm not saying shyt has to be free...but where are the bundles at least? Where is the collaboration among services?

They are collaborating, but it's in conspiracy against the consumer. They set price floors amongst themselves and each have exclusive content so that you have to have subscriptions on all the streaming platforms...they want you paying $40 month to get all the music you want.

That youtube gotta be death to your data plan tho :scusthov:

If they just made that shyt stream audio only I would probably only fukk with youtube. They have the most content of anyone, just a lower quality. Maybe in 4 or 5 years these companies will start consolidating and bundle the services for the lows, get a price break when you sign up for tidal spotify and pandora at once.

I use Pandora for free. Yeah I put up with a 30 sec commercial every 4/5 songs but it's free and does just what I need it to.

I can search ANYONE and they're on there. No I can't pick the song but I don't care (YouTube for that). My Big L playlist was killing it for me at the gym. Plus I've come across classic songs that I had somehow overlooked over the years.

Nah I'm good.

Netflix is worth it though for sure.

it's pretty spooky. i would sign up but all of these streaming services does not allow you to save the files. you always have to use their app. you can never use it for offline purposes. you can never transfer your downloaded files to another device without having to use the application. it's always about their app.

if anyone has a way to download the files to a external hard drive then PM me. I hate the encryption all of these companies use to protect their files.

maybe if you a rook and don't know what you doing. takes less than 2 minutes to download an album and add it to iTunes.
i got a 1TB hard drive full of downloaded music. But 2 minutes compared 2 seconds is huge breh.

I don't listen to music on my HD like that anyway. Spotify is on phone, work laptop, personal laptop, beam it around my house on Sonos etc.

I don't download music like that at all. There's an app or 3 for that. Mixtapes, albums, most remixes - there's only about 5% of music not available out there to stream. The only reason to not stream is financial.
