Plexamp is my favorite music player. I miss it when trying out services. It’s so buttery smooth and quick.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I've searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

I may or may not know where there is a hard drive that has at least one mp3 that was acquired from Napster
And no of course it isn't named correctly, but thank you for asking.
Also it's not about princess Zelda or link
Imma go against the grain on this one and say, thank fuck for Spotify, I don't want to waste my time sorting and downloading music that i can have on demand anywhere anytime and I can discover cool new music every week.
Ofc, you know, everyone should do what they like, personally I like the spotify model, the same way Steam stopped my gaming piracy, it stopped my need to pirate music.
i still go to the high sees for Movies and TV shows because personally I am passionate about that and I don't want to deal with shit like music being switched in Scrubs because licenses expired, the music in that show is a huge part for a lot of episodes you can't just switch it out.

Yep. Got archives with some files dating back to around 1999/2000, some of the stuff impossible to find anywhere nowdays. Same for movies.
Gnome Easytag worked perfectly circa 2005.
I've always used Foobar2k with Picard plug-in, but admittedly have added little to my robust catalog since what.cd shut down a decade or so ago. I do buy from cherished artists but rarely share alike anymore, unsure where to look really.
Use Deezer, ReFreezer and FolderSync to download my liked songs as mp3s and sync the files to my NAS.
I actually got rid of all my old MP3s years ago. Not because I regret acquiring them, but because the quality sucked. Even 320kbps. You can't tell CD from MP3 through my stereo, or in the car. But it is really obvious through my headphones, and ruins my critical listening experience. Had to re-rip all of my CDs to lossless, and lost all the ones I didn't have CDs for.
I got a new pair and of waterproof headphones and consequently I have to load MP3s on them since Bluetooth doesn't work underwater. Go to NG through my collection from the late 90's was a wild trip.
