Yes friend, we are one in the same. I still have the last gen iPod I use in my car. It has Bluetooth and I still even use the 3.5mm audio jack instead. I’m old and hate most new music coming out anyway. And if I do want to check something out I still preview it on Apple Music. If nothing else it’s an entirely private and secure way to consume music.
I salute your commitment to the audio jack. I no longer have that luxury, but it is what it is, and I love my phone despite that glaring flaw. Wish it had an FM receiver too, but oh well.

Amen to that. I’ve got my weird guilty pleasures that I go to occasionally and there’s no reason anyone else needs to know why I listen to a couple of specific dubstep songs as often as I do. If that theoretical information ever got leaked, would it even matter? Probably not, but I’m able to enjoy the music more if I can listen in my own world with no strings attached.
This is one of the biggest things I’ve enjoyed since I ditched spotify and started building up my own library again. It feels way more personal somehow.
Had a first Gen ipod permanently in my car from 2011 to just last year. Only took it out because head unit died and I put the factory one back in. iPod still works
The head unit in my car is so old it still has a dedicated 30 pin iPod cable that you’re meant to run out to your glovebox. I don’t do that, though. It has an SD card slot (full size) and also a USB port. And it still has a physical volume knob, too. I just chunk a flash drive into it.
I’m very new to Linux so I’ll have to look up what that’s all about. Got Mint on dual-boot, but I keep slipping back into Win10 because it’s easier sticking with what you know, you know?
You mean there’s more of me out there?!
✅ No buffering, music starts instantly
✅ No connection issues
✅ No monthly money drain
✅ No arbitrary access or availability revocation
❌ No immediate access to any song I want to hear, but
✅ I’m patient
I need to get a NAS and a sailing hat
Watch out, it’s a slippery slope… You start with a raspberry pi and a USB drive, you end up with a virtualization server and a zfs pool
And the orgasmic pleasure of sticking it to the man.
At least you get to learn along the way
But can you swim in it?
Same for me. I already have SBC with 64gb USB stick, but I could use more. Oh, and I want sailing hat too.
if you have an android phone, check out InnerTune on F-Droid. Youtube music client, native UI, no fees, lets you download music.
So you don’t have no immediate access? That’s not how yes/No checkboxes work.
You know, I considered “fixing” that before hitting reply, but I figured the overall sentiment of my comment would make its way through.
I used a check and an x, to represent positive and negative. I could have gone with ➕ / ➖, so that’s on me.
It’s only a friendly comment, why you have to be mad?

I have. Arrrr.
I mean… That’s not immediate, but it’s close depending on the music and it’s availability
It takes me no longer to gain immediate access then it does for a stream user to search and play the stream, even with rare or weird songs.
I used to be hot shit back in the day when I could run a BitTorrent client anywhere on my Nokia N900. Nowadays anyone can do it.
WDYM? If you want to listen before full download, there are some FUSE download managers on linux.
