  • Ohh sorry if I make myself misunderstood but I really listen and go live to small to medium groups so I can definitely to this, but maybe you can't, no problems online (or IRL) donations are the solution

  • Don't want to bother you but it's directly related to your post, SoulSeek is the network that is used by slskd. It's a peer to peer network mainly for music the problem is that the network is proprietary

  • I scan understand that you prefer to pay for your music, personally I prefer support artists in other ways than buying from platform.

    I don't put my music on my server simply because i prefer to have music directly on local, it's not that heavy so I prefer having my music directly on hand. Even with the possibility of self hosting it.

  • Your mother is absolutely right and this old school way is not so old school, it's not mainstream but not really old school. But yeah piracy is a bit hard to accommodate, so in this way there are two options, teach her how to use it OR download her music.

    If you support your favorite creators by going to their show or buying stuff I don't see the ethical problem of piracy. I've more than 1600 songs from a dozens of groups and I just love it, got the best quality (at least 16 bit 48Khz), can listen to the songs offline on my PC or with my iem (best kind of earbuds in my opinion).

    The only downside is the size of the files, I have about 25gigs in my library, my phone and my pc have enough storage but if I'd like I could reduce this to around 5-6gigs by using "normal mp3 audio"

  • One of the best thing to do is to pirate almost all of your music and then reward the creators by going to their shows, buying them shirts or even CDs (you can also rip physical copy if piracy is not a thing)

  • You're right, I fought that people are exasperated of seeing ads but when they are not present BUT their system is tracking you the same way, so people are okay with it as long as nothing pop on their screen. Loading trackers in the background or not.

  • The problem is that today ads are against privacy so the ad-tier are really invasive in term of tracking and because their services tracks you when using ad-tier they will when using noad-tier. For example if you pay YouTube premium you'll not have ads in YouTube but your consumption habits will serve google ads services to serve you ads on all almost all sites of the world
