    Kind reminder that no streaming platform is very good on the ethical front. There are no ethical alternatives because the root of the problem is the legal strangle hold labels and record companies keep on artists and commercial music distribution.

        I have found a bunch of my new favorite songs this year on Jellyfin. Some of them are pretty old too, lol.

        It worked pretty well doing it the old human-based way, where I got a bunch of albums because I liked the band or even just a particular song. Listening through those or just playing the whole pile on shuffle led me to find plenty of gems that I stuck in my playlist.

      The ethical alternative is listening to mp3s straight from your own hard-drive, just like we did in the '50s.

        Dude, I remember my grandpa telling me about ripping CDs back then. The computers they used were the size of entire rooms and could only rip at .5x

      Tidal puts artists first, and pretty awesome.

      Can’t promise that’s how they are forever, but that’s how they are today.
