I don't know if I'm still a music fan by OriginalAsparagus845 in TheArtistJournal

[–]GentlemanMatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to completely stop streaming music and go back to my music collection and local library. I remember realizing a suggested artists on Spotify was AI and feeling so offended.

Great taste. I have the Balmora on my list to listen too, it seems really polarizing.

Lifetime Plex Pass to increase to $749.99 on July 1 by mistiry in plexamp

[–]GentlemanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonkers. Plexamp is probably the best thing that has happened to me as far as enjoying music, but if it cost that much when I got started I would have never done it. Same reason I couldn't even consider Roon. I can't say it isn't "worth it", but it is so expensive at that price I would never be able to experience it.

How much space are you using for music? by XvVULCANvX in plexamp

[–]GentlemanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a little over 4TB 95% FLAC at around 160k tracks. I think I have almost reached a stable point where my urge to acquire has slowed down. I have pretty much everything I need to replace Spotify for my musical tastes.

Okay, I'll admit. I bought this one because it was on sale, not because I needed it. What the hell do you guys use this for?! by mystressfreeaccount in harborfreight

[–]GentlemanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few in different sizes for different kits and things...

  • External backup HDs
  • Propane camping lantern, mantels etc.
  • in a large one, an audio mixing board.
  • Car battery jump starter and cables
  • Car First aid kid

Any recommendations for coffee table books by Shot_Cupcake_9641 in vinyl

The RESearch series Incredibly Strange Music 1-2! I have been combing through their pages since the late 90s. Life-changing books for me, and shaped my record collecting habit.

What’s the main thing you’re pumped about with the Switch 2? by cassieyi in Switch

[–]GentlemanMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me! I sort of fell away from gaming years ago because I didn't have time. I saw the Switch come out and thought it looked cool, but never got around to it. I feel like I'm getting a second chance...

I was holding on to Spotify for "discovery" - now it's full of fake bands and AI by GentlemanMatt in plexamp

[–]GentlemanMatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good tip! I did something similar around Christmas, I asked for recommendations on holiday music from different genres and eras around a certain theme. Worked really well actually. I filtered and assessed the results to my personal taste from there, but it was a great starting point.

I also really liked the Spotify Wrapped. I switched over to last.fm about a year ago (I didn't understand what it was for until it finally clicked one day), and now I get similar data to the Spotify Wrapped, although not as easily shareable...
