Posted by SignOfZeta on November 28, 2016 at 11:09:51 EST in reply to I agree completely about the current "USE APPLE MUSIC FFS YOU CUNT" version of apple's current iOS player, but I can't say I fancy carrying around, what, a gig of music at a time, unless I'm willing to switch discs? from aerisdead.
Oh no, I'll have to change a disc. Every hour even. Oh whatever will a poor soul do in such trying times? (See: humans vs pussies re: controller cord length on page 2). And no you don't get a GB. That would be alien super technology by the standard of 1992 not to mention a useless scale of measurement. You get 74 or 80 min. You get one or two albums in there. Just like CD except unlike CD you can double the length if you want to use mono. With iTunes Match I'm always carrying (when it fucking works) my entire collection of tens of thousands of songs. However if I take six or seven MDs with me that's also more than I'll listen to in a day. There reaches a point where more and more theoretical capability just becomes stupid, like WALL-E levels of stupid. I don't need three months of music on a device who's battery can barely make it through a day. You're more tethered with an iPhone than an MD player. An MD player will run deep inside an engineering building where cell signals suck worse than IT at getting you a WIFI password, and when the power quits? It can also use AAs. I can also record things to MD away from my computer. In stereo even. And, unlike an iPhone 7, you can power it off the wall at the same times as using headphones or use an inline headphone amp. You know that conversation in Ghost in the Shell where she's talking about how they are so dependent for maintenance and repair on their super L337 cyborg bodies that they basically can never quit their job? Well, I'm just tired of that shit fucking with my music. Lots of Apple's fancy shit is worth the surrounding sacrifices, this ain't it and I'm way more loyal to music than I am to them.
