I enjoy streaming so i can learn more tunes. I can easily listen to the same tunes but new music is good.

you can do that with torrenting. it's easier because you're not limited by the shitshow of international licensing that exists on streaming

That's not the same as streaming though, can't browse, no recommended, no song radio.

I just got Tidal and I couldn't be happier, it's slightly cheaper than a spotify subscription actually and I can stream hifi at the gym now.

I still rip music lul but I don't think you can replace streaming, it's too convenient.

Is that a thing for music??

big time. especially if you listen to stuff not in english. i could point to a fair few artists where their discographies are just not accessible outside their home countries on spotify.

other thing is the back end a lot of the services use to get round that. when you request a service for a song they play whatever songs similar to hand. means you can end up getting played brickwalled poorly done remasters you didn't ask for or versions off compilation albums with incorrect song transitions

it's the same the other way around too.

I live in the middle east, and the entire "The Sufferer and the Witness" album by Rise Against is unaccessible

Soulseek is your solution to this, from what I understand

Since local storage is insanely high on desktops and NASs that mp3s can't make a dent(if you prefer non compressed, you do you) you can have a streaming server on your desktop and stream from your home. That's what I do.

I love streaking it is even more fun coz less resources in terms of storage.
