What software does /mu/ use to listen to their music on PC?
WMP
MP3 because
- FLAC takes up too much space, specially for the amount of music one should ideally have
- Don't kid yourself, you're not an archivist
- The audible difference between lossless and lossy music is negligible, again -
- Don't kid yourself, you can't hear the difference and if you think you can you're under the effect of placebo
I like aesthetics and everything working. Would use winamp but I hated it 15 years ago.
>>55240541
the threads about software eg windows media player/itunes anon, but gotta agree with you there.
as long as it's about 320kbps MP3 is the best format for keeping music
>>55240541
That was meant to be posted in another thread but whatever

>>55240693
Not true, lossless is pretty much the best format for keeping music, just not practical AT ALL
It's not even true in the wrong sense you're using, since -
Vorbis has a lower threshold for transparency and so does Opus

>>55241012
Enjoy your outdated UI, autist.
ITT: Everyone attempts to be unique by not using popular media players like iTunes or Spotify.
Don't even talk to me about muh FLAC
>>55241138
I would say fujoshi don't quite get the same level of complete disgust whenever they post
I mean, animalfuckers have forcibly learned to keep to themselves (most of the time anyway) since they're pretty much hated EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET
They were so hated that that one dude that's no longer around made a board for them, let them all infest it, and them permabanned them all.
>>55241239
Enjoy your bait, bud.
>>55241239
bu-but anon, iTunes and Spotify are horrendously terrible!
>>55241279
I hear this all the time, and no one gives a decent reason other than extended utilization of different file formats.
>>55241315
Well first of all, they are both DRM, which is always fucking horrible. I want to be able to OWN my music, thanks.
iTunes is constantly updating, which annoys pretty much everyone who uses it, and Spotify has adverts all the time, unless you pay up, goyim.
They are both jewware.
>>55241315
I like being able to customize and extend usability with scripts and add-ons. It uses less memory than iTunes and Spotify (this isn't very important but it's still noteworthy). It doesn't have advertising.
Also, spotify is a paid streaming service, that's different than local file playback (and I know 0 people who use spotify for local playback because the software is awful).
>>55241239
eat shit philistine
Yes I'm buying the new album next week thanks for asking.
>>55241243
I'm not even really much of a fujo, but they are bad for the same reasons as the furs. They take a community or fandom and completely overwhelm it until everyone else, like me, leaves. I'm not surprised socjus got a hold of tumblr and got so pissed about everything because the rotten girls are relentless and drove them out (of mostly places they didn't belong, like under lewd-ass fujoshit). I'd say it's really a matter of where you make your home. Fujos are pretty hated on /co/ and other boards, but ARE the community elsewhere to varying degrees.
I've been deep in the weeb underground so long I forgot how even tame kawaii kemoshit rustles jimmies here topside.

Why would I pay 10 dollars for content I don't own? I'd much rather go out and buy a physical copy. You're beyond moronic. Then again, you are a *nix user, so.
>>55241701
Why not take that 10 dollars and use it on show tickets? Why not take that ten dollars and just send it directly to the band? Why not buy merch with iit?
See what I'm getting at? You can make that fucking argument all day, but overall, you're still being a cheap ass. I do both asshole, but I'm a member of What.CD as well.
And yes, I am *nix user. That doesn't mean I didn't grow up using Windows, or that I'm not familiar with a PC. Having more knowledge about OS's does not make me any less intelligent - if anything I have become more knowledgeable.
And don't ask me for an invite, either.

My foobar flavor of the week.
Foobar
>>55240541
I have plenty of space and can free it up if I need to by converting stuff to lossy when needed. I don't fuss about not getting flac but when I rip stuff myself I do it to flac and sometimes flac is easier to find since I use Rutracker a lot.
>>55241239
>streaming music
>mentioning outdated UI and iTunes in the same post but not referring to it
>>55242155
how are you liking their new album?
>>55242172
Describe to me how iTunes has an outdated UI.
>>55242179
In a word, album is great, pistol is shit.
There may be a few forgettable, or at least not very remarkable tracks, but I love the whole thing. Lampshades of Fire and The Tortoise & The Tourist are GOAT.
I've had a Mac since 2011 and the only thing I really miss from the Windows environment has been foobar. It's been clunky through Wine so I finally went ahead and installed Parallels. It's like dating your ex again but she's magically wonderful like you remember her and not a crazy slut.
>>55241872
>Why not take that 10 dollars and use it on show tickets? Why not take that ten dollars and just send it directly to the band? Why not buy merch with iit?
how is that even similar? spotify takes a massive cut from them. publishers take massive cuts. owning a physical copy is just better. it's like renting a car vs. owning it. end of the day you are paying to use it and if you stop paying, all that money goes to nothing, wheras i paid to own my shit.
>>55242187
Describe to me how a unique and personalized foobar setup using columns UI is outdated.
>>55241872
All of those give significantly more money to the band than streaming while providing something physical in return, which is what I was getting at in the first place. Good job figuring it out on your own.
>>55240541
I've done flac vs. mp3 blind tests before and I can say that I heard a very noticeable difference between a 128 kbps mp3 and a proper quality flac. I could easily get the test correct every time. However, I had a harder time discerning between a flac and a 320 kbps mp3. Although I only tried the test with one song. Also I was using ath m50's and a scarlett 2i2 (serves as an external amp and dac).
spotify
>>55242334
What do you do in the many cases it doesn't have an artist or album?
>>55242307
Please let's end this stupid debate.
192kbps and lower are easy to distinguish vs 320 and Flac if you have a correct setup. 256 vs the same are distinguishable if the first is meh and you have a good ear and great setup. A good 320 and a flac are not distinguishable by hear.
Period.
>>55242415
I'm not sure about period, but like I said, I had a more difficult time with it and didn't test extensively.
>>55241012

nothing because everyone that's ever used spotify has entry level babby shit taste
>anything other than itunes
good luck finding friends
>>55242553
I don't have any to begin with and don't want any either. I'll stick to winamp
>>55242553

Why are you guys such tryhards?

Why is pretending to be a retarded normalfag the new edgy? It needs to stop.
>>55242553
>>55242657
I haven't got an Apple product.
I also like to customize my setup, to get everything I need, and nothing I don't.
I'm qt enough to find friends even without Apple software =3

That looks REALLY nice, anon.

i somehow do not believe you
also, that looks like literal shit
used to use winamp, loved it, but i had to switch to foobar once i fucked winamp up somehow
oh well
>>55242718
I hope to hell your mom dresses you, because if you can live with how ugly that is, you would look like a sperg if tried to do it yourself.
I like foobar
>>55242715
since /r9k/ made normie the new meme
>>55242743
Faggots can't be virgins. I've been with more men, women and the occasional boy than times you've jacked off alone.
>>55240541
knowing that its flac just makes me feel better
>>55242553
>he thinks people who use itunes have friends
>>55242890
this so much
though I mostly stick to 320 because ipods doesn't take flac and alac is stupid if they even support it
>>55242890
Placebo effect.
Not saying it's a bad thing tho. It's kinda the same with me and 320. You're sure that there is nothing you miss in the music. I just couldn't go through months of downloading and sorting everything I had in flac, even if I had the disc space necessary.
>>55242928
guess time
you use foobar
you own an android phone and a windows computer
you have no friends.
>>55242743
take it easy
>>55242985
fuck you
Do you guys who use Spotify premium think its worth the 10 bucks a month? It seems really nice to simply type in the name of an album and have it in 320kbps ready to go. No searching for a high quality download or using up hard drive space for music. But I dunno about $10/month, I thought it was more like $5.
>>55243119
It's $5 a month for students.
>>55243119
except you can't find good stuff
>>55243164
20 Million artists, I think you'll find decent stuff.

Serious question: what's wrong with iTunes?
>>55244175
unless you're on a mac its super-bloated
>>55244175
Massive bloat, people don't like the cut they take from artists, malware level update procedures, being a macfag isn't trendy now that everyone is one without knowing why.
When you use something else, you realize how slow it is.

>Gaudy visualizer
Customizable. You can have no visualizer if you want.
>Organization is a glorified file manager
Customizable. There are at least half a dozen different filters that you can use. From "glorified file managers" to the same filter that iTunes uses to others.
>Not optimized or scaled for high resolution screens
Not sure what you mean by this.
>Skeuomorphic design with XP like gradients
iTunes has ugly ass gray shit for the entire UI.
>Also, Of Monsters and Men? Fucking WOW
I'm sure your taste is so good Mr. Patrician. Radiohead, Death Grips, the list goes on right?
It's funny seeing Apple babies intimidated by actually being able to control things in their OS and programs rather than dealing with whatever garbage is shoved down their throats.
Use foobar to playback flac files, and just about every other format.
>>55241239
foobar is great because it allows me to optimize my interface for any form factor (full screen, small player, vertical screen).
>>55244290
Nice pic of iTunes from over four years ago.
Yeah, baseless insults really help you argument.
Intimidated? You're operating off stereotypes, bud. When you get a job in computer repair yourself, drop me a line, asswipe. Not that it's even my career goal, but I think I'm more qualified than you. Bad software is bad software. I'm all for customization, but don't pretend you're anything close to a software developer for being able to organize folders differently, or copy and paste lines of code into Command Prompt.. Are you implying you can't code or customize anything in a Unix based OS? OS X isn't iOS, moron.
Yeah, Of Monsters of Men is fucking bad. Nothing you say is going to change your horrid taste in music.
>>55242364
I'll download it, and play it on winamp. Just a vast majority of the time I'm listening to random shit on spotify.
>>55242536

Literally what is wrong with listening to music you like, what are you trying to prove with super obscure underground tastes?
