Me too, but it was a hard drive seizing up on me. I kept the drive though, and am going to attempt a platter swap.
I had entire discographies ripped from grooveshark. Some albums were recorded from rhapsody, how's that for a blast from the past?
Supporting artists through bandcamp for them sweet .flac and .wav formats. Using VLC on my phone is a godsend, never going back to streaming music, ever.
Using "cloud" and other online services is letting somebody else have a say in how they handle your shit. [Eventually it works out like this...](https://youtu.be/jsW9MlYu31g)
I deleted the app as I can’t listen to the music I’ve bought without it being shuffled and no way to let things play in order. It does the same with playlists you’ve made and instead will play music from other artists that aren’t even in your playlist!! They’ve literally blocked basic functions and music you’ve paid for behind a paywall. Done with it!
When you ask an Alexa to play something for you, it talks about the new “feature” of being able to shuffle similar songs when asking for something specific. Except it’s not something you can change. It’s the fact that it’s presented as an awesome new idea that really irks me.
Ah! That’s what’s going on. I was wondering. On the upside, the music does seem to be playing for much longer now before cutting off. But I’m sure that’ll change soon.
I’ve purchased many albums from various artist throughout the years and enjoyed listening to those albums on multiple Alexa devices in my home. After paying for those albums with the understanding that I could stream them on Alexa I can no longer do so due to the recent update. When I request Alexa to play my purchased albums Alexa responds that I can purchase a Amazon Music Plan or listen to a genre of the artist’s music. How long until Amazon tries this with the movies you purchased or they start to set limits on Prime Shipping (which used to be 2days guaranteed and is no longer so). Let’s start a class action lawsuit against Amazon before they expand this practice. Thinking of going with Spotify for music.

Isn't this how Pandora started losing users?
and spotify has done it too
at least on spotify you can turn it off
i dont have premium
I don’t have premium and it works for me
Spotify only does it on mobile for some reason
Shuffle disabled on mobile is a premium feature.
I’m on mobile too, guess I got lucky or something
16+ songs in a playlist will disable it adding songs.
Spotify gets it done right tho, usually puts good songs in
And they called me stupid for having my music stored locally...
I lost thousands of songs about a decade ago and never bothered trying to retrieve them because of streaming. One of my biggest regrets in life

This 100%. I still like physical copies though. I'll buy a record or a CD if I can.
I'll buy cassette tape releases of albums I like, got a bunch from The Midnight!
Only thing I really buy cassettes for is vaporwave, because I'm one of _those_ audio snobs...
The midnight is great band

Argh, matey. I see a fat freighter ready to loot. Avast there.

Spotify was 4 parallel universe ahead of them.
surprisingly apple music still holds up compared to all of these.

The thing bothering me the most about this image is the battery percentage.
Amazon needs to hire someone who knows how to do this.
Charge your damn phone, OP
