in 2018 there is literally no reason to use up space on your hard disk with something as frivolous and widely available as music.

THIS

>t. Actual retards

What if there’s no WiFi and you don’t want to use data to listen to Cher’s hit single “Believe”? Fucking IDIOTS

>don’t want to use data
why not

>widely available as music
wrong!

some music are not widely available
try to find this track on spotify or tidal: "Above & Beyond - Far From In Love (Oliver Smith Late Night Dub)"

>[streaming service] removes titles for whatever reason
>huh, I didn't need that music anyways
>this is amazing!
Cucks

>no service
>i-it's okay I didn't want to listen to music anyway

>space on your hard disk
We all have multiple terabytes of storage. Even many thousands of songs would only be 1GB. Your argument is completely invalid.

>what are roadtrips
>what are data caps
>what is camping

>what is battery life on mobile devices
>what are mp3 players / non networked media players

just works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fuck you

Enjoy your ban for announcing sage

>Tfw no place to buy Comiket flac rips

*warning

I got banned once

Wow, mod must've been having a bad day or something

source my good friend?

>Thank god i don't have to buy low quality AAC
>admits buying low quality AAC

Just google it. So far it's unconfirmed rumors from no-name news sites, but it might be true

It's only a rumor, but the idea is completely outrageous. Another way to make user more dependent and take little control they have. Also forces them use data.
Streaming is a meme

>put "saged" in name field for 3 years
>never banned even once
Stay mad faggot

Well, they're retarded if they think this won't scare off a large portion of the people that buy iPhones. They're just looking at the money they're making on iTunes sales. They're not taking into account the possibility that the same people who buy songs on iTunes also pirate maybe 80% more than they buy. If they can't download music anymore, they'll stop buying iPhones.

>listening to music past 18
How does it feel being a total manchild? You are supposed to be using ADULT technology. fucking millennials.

2/10 bait desu. even my drunk grandpa listens to the beatles

>Well, they're retarded if they think this won't scare off a large portion of the people that buy iPhones.
they said this when Apple scrapped 3.5 jack
they said this when Apple put the notch and scrapped fingerprint sensor
they said this when Apple left one port on the Macbook
…you get my idea.

Boomers aren't any better nigger.

pirates will pirate. if they can't do it on iphone they will move. you would be surprised how many normies actually buy music vs how much just download it. Even among the ones that buy music, they still download certain things if they don't have enough money

Ofc we do. It's called RED, you pleb

>What if there’s no WiFi

Mobile data

>and you don't want to use data
oh yeah btw enjoy streaming when you're abroad or go to a place with poor connection. or simply run out of data or subscription to listen to all of your music. technology!

>vinyls will finally make a comeback
ftfy

They also love downloading .mp3 files from youtube.

This has got to be the most obvious bate I've seen in years.

Where do you guys buy your music? Itunes has a good catalogue but I don't want aac or whatever their format is.

FUCK YOU I LOVE CHER

>ふぉーす!
Good taste. Do you have ばーさす! ?

Fuck up cunt with your buzzwords. Music is literally brainwashing and hypnotism.
Begone consumerist

>streaming music
>using itunes

>buying music ever
memes aside the options are shit, in most cases it's not FLAC unless from bandcamp.
And iTunes AAC is actually p. good for a lossy format

Who the fuck pays per song when Apple Music is $5 a month and I can download every song I want to store locally?
>inb4 you dont really own the music

I buy CDs

beatport or junodownload but they are specialized in a just some genres.

I was banned for 2 days for saying that Norway wasn't a socialist country. Not just from Jow Forums, from ALL boards. Mod is fucking schizo.

no.
cds are pointless in almost every way. worse quality than vinyl, smaller album covers and inserts...yuck.
vinyl flood when

in you can purchase FLACs here but they charge extra for them

I'm sure if you were told that Apple would remove the headphone port and put in the notch before both of those happened, you'd also say they're not stupid enough to do that. But guess what? They did. Doing stupid shit should be considered par for the course now.

I never stopped.
>never fell for the streaming meme
Feels good man.

Will probably end up doing this

I wish yuri was that cute IRL.

What about music that isn't available for streaming, like Japanese video game music?

good taste

I'd bother asking for a citation, but it occurs to me that you don't have one for this made-up bullshit, and I wouldn't care in any case. Anyone fucking stupid enough to use a "service" like iTunes deserves everything they get. You're literally paying Apple money to temporarily "rent" data that they can restrict/rescind access to at any time for any reason. Who in their right mind actually does this?

>Music is literally brainwashing and hypnotism.
This. All of this.
It's things like "music" that let Lucifer get control of the minds of the youth and lets the Jewish lizardmen infiltrate our government and trick King Trump with their lies.

The thing I hate most about this post is that it's mostly true and you don't even know it.

You should spend a little less time hanging out with Terry and hunting down CIA niggers. It's starting to affect your view of reality. Or switch to decaf. One of the two.

There is no "yuri in IRL" user. Yuri is entirely a 2D concept.

>There is no "yuri in IRL" user.
You should really do some reading on the etymology of the term "yuri" sometime, user.

>he doesn't download audio extracted from straight from game files.
Absolutely retarded

>vinyltards
kek

I know this is fake and gay, but it would be in their interests to end the concept of permanent ownership.

This. CDs liberate you from it all.

nice job refuting the central point

Vinyl is worse quality than CD. Enjoy your warmth.

Doesn't stop the fact that they are coming back.

Thanks to retards who don't understand audio.

>most vinyls today are mastered from digital
hmmmMMMMMM

What seems to be the issue?

Vinyl is objectively the best physical medium.

that you get basically CD written on vinyl

Exactly in what way will this change you're life? I'm truly disappointed in you Jow Forums.

Nope. I'm going to keep listening to music you don't like on software you don't like on an operating system you don't like, and there is nothing your smelly fat neckbeard ass can do about it. Deal with it. :^)

It's objectively better and it isn't hard to show that mathematically.

You really have no clue how the world works do you?

There is no music during last twenty years. Only sound design.
