  • I’m a small vinyl collector (not the kind with a wall full of ancient albums, but if I really like an album or want to support a smaller artist I’ll buy their vinyl). It’s mostly the first and last points for me. I used to be (and still kind of am) an audiophile type but I can’t really tell the difference between vinyl and streaming from Spotify, so the quality argument is out the window for me. But being able to listen to multiple albums without touch the volume knob is great, and I love going through album artwork, reading anecdotes from the artist, etc. One of my favorite vinyls is a sort of concept album that tells the story of a man who threw his life away to the sea only to be “reborn” a new man, and the album artwork inside the vinyl is absolutely phenomenal. (Deep Blue by Parkway Drive for the curious)






  • I see, well if you’re more in the self-hosted side of things other people have given some suggestions that seem like it would work well for your needs.

    I used to have a huge collection of music I’d accumulated and only played files locally, but I’ve gotten lazy over the years and am a Spotify boy now. I will say that it’s been irritating me to no end with how bad shuffle is; my main playlist has over 500 songs in it and I know there’s at least a hundred or so that I haven’t heard in months because Spotify’s “shuffle” thinks it knows what I want to listen to more than I do.

    “I don’t like oranges in desserts”

    That’s perfectly valid and nothing wrong with that ✨✨✨

    “It’s weird when oranges are used in sweet things because they nory are sour”

    OMG what so oranges can’t be sweet now they should hide their sweetness? 😡 That’s incredibly tasteless wow. You should N E V E R explain why your preference means away from something you [descriptor]ist!
