You know what really grinds my gears?
Region-specific bonus tracks that are literally not available on any streaming service in an official capacity; the only place I can find them are on YouTube - where they could get DMCA’ed at a moment’s notice..
Two tracks off the top of my head like this are:
- Don’t Tell Me It’s Over by Blink 182, from Take Off Your Pants & Jacket
- Subject to Change by Sum 41, from Chuck
I believe that Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was released with 6 different secret songs (in the US anyway). Each album came with 2 of the 6, so you had to see if your friends got the other ones on their albums.
It was a good time!
I recently went back to pirating and transferring music to my phone like it was an iPod, lol. VLC is a good player (and works with Android Auto), and Strawberry is good on Linux for listening and library management. The SoulSeek network has a lot of hard to find stuff in flac (I use the Nicotine+ client).
I recently discovered Nicotine+. My iPod mini has never been happier.
Try PowerAmp on Android.
I use musicolet. Integrates with android auto pretty well so I can control it from the console while driving if I want. And it's free
Why would I pay to play my music vs winamp/VLC‽
PowerAmp is a music player, not a streaming service.
When I looked on play 5 min ago it was a trial and 7.99 to buy. Full version is 8 bux
It often goes on sale. Worth the price imo.
Fair enough, could you tell me why? I'm more than willing to spend money especially if it's not something you're being paid to sell...
You can customize it to the hell and back. There are even fan made skins that you can apply.
For me, the main draw is its equalizer. You can set from anywhere between 5 bands to 32 bands, along with first and last frequencies. So if you've got different amps and headphones then you can configure it exactly how you want it to be for all the different combinations of setups.
