  I’d cancel it in a heartbeat but my wife would murder me.

    You could try moving to Tidal or Qobuz, they treat their artists better and there are tools to transfer playlists

    Buying music on Bandcamp and similar has been good for me. When I got laid off I kept all the music I owned and didn’t have to pay anymore. All these subscription services suck.

      I’m never, ever buying digital licenses to video or audio content. My limit is games because avoiding it is kind of impossible.

      Too many platforms close down. I’ve lost licenses from the Impulse acquisition and subsequent shutdown, plus one or two others. Any day these guys can just put up a 30 day notice and rip everything out of your library. Usually this happens after an acquisition… looks like bandcamp was sold in 2023 and the buyers shitcanned half the staff too.

      Disks are cheap and piracy works until they enforce digital IDs for all connectivity on the internet. At that point we’d be back to swapping thumb drives.

    I was recently turned on to Stremio + Torrentio and it’s very good. I’m considering making a Pi5 device dedicated to it.

      I have an old Pi floating around that I should probably look at using for stuff like this.

      Are they going to be around once Google removes sideloading from unauthorized devs?
