I ditched Spotify for this...

  While I understand being skeptical of people using retro devices like this from the lens of it seeming performative, I don't think it's that simple. My sister is 13 years old, she knows I'm into iPods and such and asked me if I could get her one (since I know where to look). So I did, and then immediately taught her how to put music on it, and she hasn't stopped using it since. I think there's a genuine interest in younger generations to get away from modern tech, it's performative. They're smarter than we give them credit for sometimes.

  As someone who never stopped consuming music this way, it warms my heart like crazy to see so many people rediscovering music like this. Please listen to full albums, and never give up ownership. This is the way music should be consumed.

  I migrated to a Kindle, the Echo Mini, a digicam, and a switch lite. Doing stuff now is for a purpose. When this phone dies I'll just buy a cheap one.

  switching to only listening to full album cuts like the ones found on YT is what got me back into music. its nice to sit and listen to the full piece and speculate the era, decisions and inspirations.

  Welcome back to the joy of carrying your music collection locally in your pocket—exactly as it should be! I get the appeal of AirPods for convenience, but I implore you to consider trying some In-Ear Monitors (IEMs).<br><br>Ideally, look for something with a hybrid setup (three or four balanced armatures plus a dynamic driver). AirPods are great for being wireless, but having multiple drivers in each ear provides a much wider soundstage than a single-driver setup ever could

  Really enjoyed this for the nostalgia (HIM CD!), especially a laptop that still has CD which is wild to think about why, how and when this got ever taken away from us…

  I do miss the process of finding music, HMV/CDs. nothing digital ever quite replaced that

  Just a tip - never keep your Vinyl flat on their back. Always keep them upright. 📀
