  have you ever moved country? if you change address they ( internet services ) delete your library because of copyright

  they can’t delete a physical album

  I lost about 1000 albums

  ( i might do navidrome when i get new puters and stuff of my own, even then, so much of what we use is reliant on electricity supply 🤷‍♀️ )

    You have a valid point. Also, we’re one of those countries that treats piracy (or a lot of the time, even just digitising your existing physical media) as the ultimate crime against society. Since we also let border officer take backups of phones and computers, indefinitely storing them on their hard drives, and they’re allowed to demand passwords, and seize devices with no justification, I feel pretty sure your music would get seized at the border.

    But also, they act like they’re allowed to do whatever they want with no requirement to justify their actions, they’d probably seize CDs too just for shots and giggles

      so don’t carry your personal stuff

      buy a burner when you reach your destination

      and if it’s a work computer who gives a shit

        They search about 5,000 phones a year. I value my privacy, and don’t appreciate people poking through my shit on a “you seem suspicious” basis. I understand that that’s basically customs entire job, but it feels different when it comes to computers and phones, particularly as they don’t even need grounds of suspicion - they can just decide they don’t like you and take your phone

    All the music platforms are terrible. They try to push playlists and make you listen to music the way they want you to.

    I don’t want to go any further forward than queuing up albums in VLC player from an external harddrive
