  Buy DRM free music instead of streaming it.

    Not all the artists provide it. At least through legal methods.

      They don’t make CDs anymore?

        I haven’t touched a music CD since Sony decided it would be fun to put rootkits on them.

        Bandcamp usually has the artists I’m interested in though, thankfully.

        As one of seemingly very few people that still buys CDs, they have become extremely difficult to find. Personally, I have to drive 90+ miles to the nearest store that sells them and pay a 25% markup when I get there, or order them off Amazon, in which case they always arrive with a broken case. I’m not counting Walmart because they only sell kpop and NOW cds. Target only sells kpop and Taylor Swift.

    nah just convert them to oggs unless you’re archiving music. there’s literally zero perceptible difference

    source

    • arin@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I hear the difference, it’s very clear difference with either heavy metal or music with natural sounds.

        Do you hear it consistently under double-blind conditions?

        you’re probably lying or this is kind of placebo effect .
        ogg can reach transparency at even 150kbps, and you want to use double that for converting flacs.
