Ditched CDs replay 12 years ago (although I still have 500+) after importing everything I had into iTunes on my 2 Macs, I never have and never will buy downloads 🤬, love my vinyl still, I’ve got 2 turntables, streaming for me is a last resort and only if it’s free, so I have to put up with adverts as well as low bit MP3s.Originally Posted by jandl100
Old fogies.
Streaming is fab.

Ah well, you are obviously all still youngsters and into all these latest trendy thangs.

One symptom is that you start complaining about how rubbish modern music is and only listen to music from your youth.
For me, one of the great advantages of streaming services such as Tidal is that I can check out new artists and new recordings to find new favourites.
Listen to at least one new album a day to keep the "old fogey" at bay!

^ Absolutely.
Online streaming via Qobuz (my fave) or Tidal or Spotify is a staggeringly wonderful way to explore new music/recordings.

Good grief, Sir, I have searched in vain for a translation program for these "new album" lyrics. Don't understand any of it.....One symptom is that you start complaining about how rubbish modern music is and only listen to music from your youth.

i visited a very big old nursing home yesterday , they even have a sensory room where you can go and listen to music . you can have what you like in your room so i am sure a small hi fi will be just fine when you reach that stage
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Balls to that, I ain't going nowhere without my Zu floorstanders! Maybe I would 'donate' them to the care home's day room, along with my REL sub. That should get the residents moving.

I'm with you there Gordon - what if someone stole the cloud, and we had to pay a big ransom to get it back? These Russkys are into everything these days, and they would have no difficulty hiding a cloud. Country is huge.Another age thing! Streaming
The cloud in general leaves me cold. As we are talking about possessions, it seems pertinent. What happens when it goes down or disappears? No music, no documents, no photos!
I'll have a few possessions left ta!
And even if caught with it in their possession, they would just say the wind blew it their way. No accountability see?

I do consider making sure all the more valuable LP's are listed so those who inherit them don't get ripped off. Hopefully a good few years away yet.
Mind you I learnt yesterday that Madness Baggy Trousers release date is nearer to the end of WW2 than it is too today. Actual half way point is currently 25th March 1982.
