Remember the time when people used to have a stack of CDs in the car? Some cars even had a a fancy player that could hold multiple discs.
Comment on today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are

Ads are the reason I stopped listening to regular FM radio. I used to live in a more rural town and it was at least half an hour to get to any city I would have to go to for more than basic groceries. Once when I was coming back somewhere that takes a whole hour drive to get home, I heard nothing but commercials the entire drive.

Yeah I wish I still had a cd player or an aux jack. At least I can load up mp3s on a flash drive.

At least those flash drives can easily store your entire library these days. You only need one, and it doesn’t even have to be an expensive one.

I do have a little 1TB drive I got for 50 bucks on sale. It works great. The car software not so much. It picks up right where I left off in a song when I turned the car off but when the track finishes it skips to the first song of the next album then begins to play normally. Never had that issue with a CD player.

poor people still do, at least older poor people

Older poorer people. Younger poorer people stuff a bunch of songs in an USB stick.

What features has Spotify cut? I’ve had premium for like 5 years and I think I’ve seen a dollar raise in price.
nodrod@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Idk I pay for Spotify family premium and it’s only gone up $1 since their launch in 2011… I think that’s pretty good. Now if it becomes and annual thing then fuck’em.
JewGoblin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
damn, Spotify was $1?

If you ever give up on spotify, ViMusic is an FOSS app on F-Droid that is compatible with androod auto (you have to enable developer options first for 3rd party apps but it is fairly easy and quick to do)

For me it was TV. I stopped watching TV when I became aware of the amount of ads for cars. There’s at least one ad for a car in every “commercial break”. So I just stopped about 15 years ago.
I filled the entertainment gap with internet and lately I’ve been using YouTube a lot. However it’s also becoming annoying with the sponsors inside the videos as well. I was not using SponsorBlock before but I installed it a few days ago.
If I’m ever forced to watch the awful ads on YouTube, I’ll quit too. My life is just gonna be better for it.

I’ve been adding music to my mp3 collection since Napster got started. It feels old fashioned now but I have yet to see a reason to use an alternative method. I actually have a lifetime subscription to SiriusXM. So I pay nothing, and I still don’t listen to that shit.

Hearing new music is why I like Spotify. Sure, there are ways to find new music without streaming, but it takes actual effort, where Spotify can just make it happen.
Nima@lemmy.world 8 months ago
