I think I'm going to delete all my music files. I have about 9,000 songs on iTunes. It should clear up about 50GB of space.
With everything available on Spotify and Youtube, why would I need personal mp3 files? Can anyone think of a reason to keep them?
- sound quality, for starters... also the ability to listen offline is easier when you have the track filesmonospaced
- crazy how .mp3 files are a thing of the past. I use spotify, and sync tracks for offline usefourth
- the tracks i burned from CDs years ago sounds sooo much better than any streaming service, it's pretty crazymonospaced
- I can't seem to tell the difference. I think the quality on Spotify is good, and even Youtube is fine for just jamming out while working. I'm no audiophile.iCanHazQBN
- I might shell out the $10/mo. for Spotify, but not sure how offline-play works.iCanHazQBN
- youtube? really? it takes up ram. and stupid ads.pango
- I listen to music at home on my big system, and the good pre-amp and speakers really highlight any extra compression... so yeah, it's differentmonospaced
- I have Adblock for YT. If I use YT, it's for random songs I haven't heard in a while and to reminisce over the video. Doesn't have to be perfect quality.iCanHazQBN
- Yeah if you have an amazing system you notice it. I guess I'm not serious about sound, I have small speakers, and the idea of free HD space is nice.iCanHazQBN
- The only other reason I would keep them is in the rare case that one of those streaming systems ceases to exist or function, etcmonospaced
- I have such a personal issue with crossing over to streaming services. I can't really pinpoint why, but I feel dirty using the free spotify/rhapsody/etc...stoplying
- Dirty? They play ads. It's like listening to the radio, except you have more control over what plays. I think the $10/mo is worth it for no ads & full control.iCanHazQBN
- In clocking around 33,000 iTunes. Keep my library on an external to use at work and home. Is this now an old person thing to do?Xopher
- Delete? Like, as in forever? That sounds ludicrous man! Just move that shit to an external HD and call it a day.aliastime
- If you pay the Spotify subscription, you get better audio quality. I deleted a lot of stuff. I have my Jazz library on vinyl anywaymarychain
- No reason to delete when storage is cheaper than ever. What do you need that 50 gigs of space for? I love my mp3ssarahfailin
- I'm down to like 8GB on my laptop and am waiting for the next Macbook Pro. I could use the space. Don't want to buy another external HD.iCanHazQBN
- You might need to DJ a party using Mp3s.********
- Well, you can set up playlists on Spotify. I think you can do everything on Spotify as on iTunes, with the benefit of not having to store files.iCanHazQBN
- Can you burn that special mix to CD for your girlfriend on Spotify?********
- You can't import music directly from Spotify to a music sequencer********
- if you want to listen to songs adfree without paying monthly charges, you are better off on iTunes or your own mp3s********
- You can only use visualizer on iTunes. Spotify has no visualizer********
- if you want to make a video with background music, you'll need an mp3.********
- Are you—
Rapture-Ready™?detritus - Thx for your comments. Spotify is doing 3 month trial for 99¢/mo. Perfect. I'm gonna give this a shot.iCanHazQBN
- Spotify is MUCH better than itunesmarychain
- because when the internet goes out you have to just hum or somethingscarabin
- Even today 50GB is cheap as fuck... but imagine a few years down the line you will be like... i cant believe i deleted all my music for 50gbd_gitale
- at least back it up on a drive somewhere.inteliboy
- https://www.youtube.…********
- 50GB is not expensive on an external HDD. I would at least backup it. You might need it one day for road trips, vacation, parties...mekk
- Just buy a cheap hard drive and stick it all on there, man.********
- i did this years agodrgs
- ...so you can jog or workout with an ipod shuffle or something equally tiny, and not a cellphone?Peter
- I have my music backed up on an HD and also on google music. Google music means I can access my whole music collection from anywhere, which is nice...********
- think of your childrendoesnotexist
- i got douche chills just thinking of deleting my mp3s.CyBrainX
- The idea of putting everything onto a HD is not appealing. Then what? They'll just sit there. If they're out of sight, they're out of mind.iCanHazQBN
- ... I'll never listen to them if every time I wanna hear something I gotta grab my HD, plug it in, find the song. Not practical.iCanHazQBN
- Someone said what about "road trips, vacation, parties?" Spotify has "available offline" option. Can have playlists and everything.iCanHazQBN
- Also has a nice option. If a song is playing on my computer, I can hit the play button on the phone app and it seamlessly starts playing on my phone. Very cool.iCanHazQBN
- Nostalgia. Unless you totally recreate your whole collection on something like Spotify, which I'd never get round to doing.********
- Offline is v simple dude, you just go to a play list, then hit 'available offline' . https://support.spot…Hombre_Lobo
- Thanks Hombre.iCanHazQBN
- I use an iPod synced to the 13,000 songs on my laptop for the car, work and holidays. 75GB. I'm too nostalgic, lazy, scared, skint to do streaming.HAYZ1LLLA
- I'm an old buster now. Stuck in my ways. Too much time, money and energy invested into my iTunes library. I like all my playlists etc.HAYZ1LLLA

Just bought tickets to the Jesus and Mary Chain Psycho candy 30th anniversary show. Haven't seen them live in 23 years. As you can imagine by my username...this band has had a profound impact on my life. Gonna be riding the wall of sound nostalgia wave high as the moon
- wow, I once saw them at a backyard party in the early 90s, no joke, at a friend's housemonospaced
- Monospaced...I'll never say another bad thing about you. That is INSANELY awesome.marychain
- I was at a number of the early UK shows that ended in riotsmarychain
- i discovered them because the pixies cover a b-side "Head On" on their album Trompe le Monde. Love the Psychocandy album.sarahfailin
- I saw them at the Ritz in NYC back in '90. For some reason a bunch of skinheads showed up, peppersprayed the whole floor and started fighting everyone. Nasty.stoplying
- Saw them a few years ago at Riot Fest in Chicago... They had a certain panachevaxorcist
- I was introduced to them first in 1990 at Nottingham, Rock City in my 1st year at Uni by good mates I still have!MrT

have to say, was pretty fun to watch

- could be a helluva yelp review, just sayin'monospaced
- that is so random. Just filming a porno in an open bar while patrons are there?capn_ron

Any good resources for finding sample "user experience" surveys?

I've been hearing "twat" used more often as an insult. I like it. It's not as harsh as "cunt". It's classier.

- Would make more sense if the seating was padded, and then the back (the becomes the table) is hard.iCanHazQBN
- Yes agreed, some integrated cushion seating would be fab.utopian
- Smaller gaps between the pieces would be good, too. Probably drop your pen or knock your coffee over with those big gaps.nb
- how is her "seat" lower than the "table?"Krassy

I realized that I'm very judgemental of people based on what clothes they wear (even brands), the way they talk, etc.

- you could argue that people communicate with their appearance, but at the same time prejudices are often wrong. you may not speak the visual language they arescarabin
- i guess what's important to consider is what kind of judgements are being madescarabin
- there is no shame in it. a lot of people are too soft to admit it to themselves********

I've been asking myself lately how come QBN or any of its members never got in trouble for posting stuff. Every day I read about sites being sued, letters of apology being written and so on, and here we can still post very edgy content, be even edgier in our sarcasm, cynicism and even plain ol' just stupid in our comments. I got to admit, I was sceptical when mods where introduced, but still, the madness pretty much continues. I mean we're thrashing Kanye, Scarlett's boobs are all over the place, there's semi racist innuendo (in good faith), crazy rants, insults, drunk posts and so on... While I'm all for it, this question comes to mind more and more.

- @drgs i get what you're saying, @mono not so sure, i'd go for canada, whenever i see scarlett i think of ben ;)renderedred

- @chukkaphob i know, it's weird :) on being cool and all that, well, most here are pretty cool in my view, so i guess that could be the answer.renderedred
- @pinkfloyd what is this technology you're talking about? must be heaven! ;)renderedred
