+69 Call me old, but I still prefer using an MP3 player to listen to music instead of streaming services. amirite?

I mean, let's be clear you aren't talking about using an MP3 player you're talking about pirating music. What you put the pirating music on is irrelevant but all your arguments are about pirating music

I mean you're wrong so they're not priority music they do pay yes it's a different system, but they still pay so they're not breaking any law

There is nothing wrong with your using an mp3 player. 20 years ago, I ripped a few thousand of my cd's to hard drive and now have 1.5 terabytes of mp3's on cloud storage. It's a great way to share if I want to. Enjoy being old.

Where are you getting this "free" music?

Do you not have virus protection on your devices?

I miss my old iPods sure, but I don't miss paying $1.25 per song or having to pay for CDs I could download and put on there. I never pirated like what you're talking about so I can't exactly relate

I like using my player app for my FLAC collection. I've got a lot of jazz in FLAC format. You can't beat the quality.

An mp3 player is a device that plays files stored on it My phone lets me access an ad-filled nightmare of presumptions made by an AI

You don't have to spend money on multimillion dollar companies. You still have to either download them legally or buy them if you do it the way you want. I don't listen to ads at all using Spotify and I pay measly 11 dollars a month that's nothing. I don't have to worry about Internet connection either or not ones because you know what I downloaded the list so I can listen to them whenever I want. So that logic is not working. And no, the downloaded files will not be better than the ones on Spotify. This all depends on several things if I've downloaded my playlist they will have equal good sound quality as anything else or you can set it up to better sound quality that's up to you. This isn't just an unpopular opinion. This is an opinion where you haven't even done some research. You're just saying something without Commonwealth research. Besides, you're talking about pirate music so you don't mind breaking the law just so that you can get what you want which kind of makes you an ass.

To bad you pay more for the service that the art

I'm not defending them, but this is false. 70% of their revenue goes to artists. Pirating music earns the artist $0.

Huh?! Can you speak more clearly, please?

Yes, thank you. It's getting harder to appreciate some tangible media that you own, so to speak. It's nice to play some stuff offline, on demand, reception or not.
