05.15.15 | was about to install iTunes but then I remembered how much it likes to fuck with me |
Let
05.15.15 | Foobar |
grish
05.15.15 | if you're using Windows, then yeah foobar. mediamonkey is good too, but the pro version costs money (but can be pirated) |

05.15.15 | "This is why we backup our computers"
everything is easy and obvious in retrospect |
DominionMM1
05.15.15 | if you've got a good turntable you're set bruh |
TheSpaceMan
05.15.15 | agreed but I jam a lot of 90s albums and dont make a six figure salary |
DominionMM1
05.15.15 | so do i and neither do i |
TheSpaceMan
05.15.15 | so how do you feel about not listening to albums that barely got pressed and go for $300+ |
Valkyrion
05.15.15 | foobar is the way |
TheSpaceMan
05.15.15 | just DLd foobar and it looks pretty barebones but from what I gathered its basically open source compared to apple (then again, what isnt lol). gonna use it for a week or two before I give a verdict. any advice to get things started as I import album folders? |
Titan
05.15.15 | i remember when vinyls were $7.99 as new releases
fuk u sputnik damn right im old |
TheSpaceMan
05.15.15 | most new releases go for like $22 on average and arent even recorded on tape its ridiculous
the 60s-80s stuff is normally at a great price at record shops though, scored a mint Close to the Edge for $3 |
Valkyrion
05.15.15 | it's fully customizable to ur needs that's what makes it better than itunes
speaking as somebody who used itunes in the past as well |
Confucius
05.16.15 | yo momma playa |

05.16.15 | JK, foobar |
Relinquished
05.16.15 | "it's fully customizable to ur needs that's what makes it better than itunes"
this, that's the fun appeal of foobar, so get tweaking you tweaker |

Sevengill
05.16.15 | iTunes 10. I didn't like the new interface so I got the install file off my old laptop. It does its job perfectly well. |
TheSpaceMan
05.16.15 | yeah itunes 10>>11 |
Hyperion1001
05.16.15 | foobar. here's how i have mine set up, best music player ive ever used tbh.

PitchforkArms
05.16.15 | winamp used to be fxing rad but now its bleh. weirdly enough itunes does a decent job, foobar as well |
DominionMM1
05.16.15 | "so how do you feel about not listening to albums that barely got pressed and go for $300+"
I'd be curious as to which albums fit into that category
|
TheSpaceMan
05.16.15 | lol 300s an exaggeration but a storm in heaven, aenima, fantastic planet, loveless and focus are all over $150 just to name a few, and those are some of my favorites |
Relinquished
05.16.15 | reissues of those will come out in time so don't be too worried about them |
evilford
05.16.15 | ITunes idgaf |
wtferrothorn
05.16.15 | I got a Premium Spotify account for $10/month, which is basically unlimited music streaming. |
TheSpaceMan
05.16.15 | @relinquished yeah they'll definitely be re released, loveless will happen any minute now, i already preordered the fantastic planet vinyl repress for $50, and im sure tool will do something with their vinyl once they drop a new album |
Keyblade
05.16.15 | just spotify lately, but i used to use both winamp and foobar equally |
TheSpaceMan
05.16.15 | I'm really digging this foobar thing, only played around with it for a few hours though |
zakalwe
05.16.15 | itunes is an absolute fuck about but you stick to what you know so I'll never get rid of it. Spotify was a godsend for me phone. |
EasyModeDX
05.16.15 | Foobar is the only bar. |
Tunaboy45
05.16.15 | Does my hi fi system count? |
zakalwe
05.16.15 | My 90s pioneer hi fi blew out ear drums. It was like a Motörhead gig played full blast over a mogwai gig while Jesus and Marychain tuned up.
You kids wouldn't be able to take the noise. |
Tunaboy45
05.16.15 | we're not worthy |

05.16.15 | Indeed. |

DustyTill
05.16.15 | MusicBee |
RadicalEd
05.16.15 | Musicbee is the best agreed. |
taylormemer
05.16.15 | Winamp for me, however AIMP is probably going to replace that soon though if the guys who bought out Winamp from AOL don't invest in updating it. |
Rik VII
05.16.15 | foobar. |
LoLifant
05.16.15 | Deezer. Biggest song library, best mobile app (at least back then when I compared some of them), livestreams of gigs, pushes unknown artists (found some great bands there), pays more to them. Spotify my ass. |
Archelirion
05.16.15 | Been thinking about moving from Spotify to Deezer for a while now, might give it a bash. |
LoLifant
05.16.15 | Only thing really bothering me right now is that they don't have mewithoutyou's Brother, Sister uploaded. But I'm annoying them with requests all the time so maybe it'll come some day. Unfortunately, as far as my experience with streaming sites go, you'll never find one where all of your favourite albums/artists are available. Some have one that the others don't and vice versa. |
Acanthus
05.16.15 | VLC, foobar when I need to mess around with FLAC options and winamp for the pretty colors.

LoLifant
05.17.15 | Has any of you guys a Deezer account and is not from Germany? I'd like to know if Circa Survives latest Descensus is available for you and as always german rights fucked up or if it's unavailable for everybody (I can only play the 2 singles, rest is greyed out). |

PatientlyDead
10.26.18 | If I am at home, I use musicbee because its fast and fluent and there are a ton of customization options. On the go, I use an iPod Classic (the one they released right before being discontinued) so I do have iTunes installed but only to export my music to my iPod. If I'm with friends, I use Spotify on my phone because I have a bunch of more "car ride-friendly music" that everyone can listen to. |
Sabrutin
10.26.18 | ^ It was the same for me but after I changed my phone I now use MusicBee to sync music to my phone too. Works just the same way as iTunes-iPod. |
osmark86
10.26.18 | only time I'm not streaming I still use winamp because of nostalgia and the pacemaker plugin. I'm sure there are way better options available since it hasn't been developed/supported for ages now. |
Cimnele
10.26.18 | foobar 2000 for making playlists and compilations
i still listen to midi tunes on media player classic giggle |

03.08.19 | check MusicBee fam |
TheSpaceMan
03.08.19 | yeah im on musicbee right now, and i dig |
hobblepot
03.08.19 | I use iTunes and Apple Music. They have more music to offer, for the same price, plus you can still rip CD's of albums which aren't available, you can alter track names and album art. It's like having your iTunes library but with unlimited music for £10 a month.
It runs very smoothly on my windows PC, and it works seamlessly with my iPhone/Homepod. |
anarchistfish
03.08.19 | I still used iTunes with a 28k song library backed up, til my final Classic died in 2017
Now I just use Spotify. Way easier really, even though putting outside songs in the library is a pain. I couldn't go back to the clunky bugfests of iTunes and Apple Music now |
anarchistfish
03.08.19 | I tried using foobar once but couldn't get it to load my library properly. Gave up eventually |
hobblepot
03.08.19 | I suppose unless you have an iPhone using apple music or iTunes is a pain. I always wanted an iPod classic, never got round to getting one |
anarchistfish
03.08.19 | the problem is it had this fat hdd that would quickly go wrong if you kept dropping it, which i always did. the 160gb version anyway. you could feel that disk spinning
what i need now is to figure out a way of saving spotify songs on my phone to my sd card, cos I can't find the supposed option in settings |
protokute
03.08.19 | Spotify, and for things that aren't on it, Foobar |
