Ok so the real question is how, given your stash, have you let your offspring exist with a GE all in one radio cassette deck thingy?

I have a friend in my old-people Facebook feed who is an aging new-wave/punk kid and one of the world's most recognized erotic/fetish photographers who posted his Wrapped top-5 and the top artist is Taylor Swift. It made my day. It was just left with a "this is who I am now" aside.

This wrapped thing came up in conversation at work yesterday as we were talking about working with Spotify on something. We were told it was a good time because their developers have finally finished with wrapped, and it occupies most of their time the last couple of months of every year. Seems...

I'm pretty obsessive about curating my algorithm, liking songs whenever I come across something new that intrigues me. But, for whatever reason, my 'top' list isn't really reflective of it, as it just picked out the albums I happen to listen to all the way through, and ignored much of my...

An unliking pairing that somehow works, though it's so sad that they're now paired in who we lost this year.

I’m intrigued by what it reveals about how much of a different musical being I am when driving or at the gym than when I’m at home. I rarely listen to anything Spotify noted at home, where it’s Qobuz, records and reels. With completely different songs and genres.

My dishwasher did just die and I was thinking about audio gear when I bought the replacement…thinking about how most people buy audio like I was buying a dishwasher. Like hey that’s the brand of our other stuff and it feels a bit more solid than the others. Looks ok. Alright, yeah. That’s the...

I’m just happy the global songs aren’t Bad Bunny. Gawd I hate that sound. Reggaeton is the worst musical abomination to have ever happened.

Yeah but you (and me) aren’t most people. What’s with all y’all buying things that break all the time? The only stuff that breaks on me ever is my dishwasher and vintage receivers.

I think its so cool (and smart) that a number of these newer powered speakers have a built in phono preamp. I had such a bad sonic experience with the last pair of powered-monitors I used that I'm still wary of the category (Yamaha HS-7 semi-pro mix monitors that I'd occasionally try and fail to...

This silliness is why I really like Spotify. I mostly listen to Spotify in the gym and in the car on long drives home from nights out in Chicago, which skews my results. The biggest surprise to me is that I listened to 20 genres! My geological musical soulmate is.... Gothenburg, Sweden! People...

Not exactly specific to the question but in my turntable-obsession I've acquired some very 'fancy' high end DIN to RCA cables, and some that are pretty basic. And ... honestly...I don't really hear much of a difference between them. This includes a Graham IC-70 cable which I believe was around...

I have been thinking about Roon but I'll definitely wait to see where this goes. I'm probably not alone in that. That said, I don't know if I really stream enough to make it worthwhile. I don't quite understand how Roon works but if Harman offers up some sort of cheaper Roon server device than...

I saw the biggest Brussel's Sprouts at the grocery store the other day. They were like half-cabbages. I thought of ya'll.

I run across many more titles that aren't on Qobuz but... it sounds a lot better so I stick with it. Though one of my frustrations with Qobuz is the search isn't that great. All in all its better than it was a year or two ago. Sonically its much better than Spotify, a little better than Tidal...

So if I have a bunch of playlists and saved albums/tracks in Spotify it would transfer those over to Qobuz? I'm behind the times.

I've never actually saved any tracks or albums in Qobuz beyond favoriting something. I treat it sort of like going to my stack of records..individually looking up an album or track and playing it. I understand your frustration with that. One thing I've noticed is that their algorithm for...

Oh and on that note, this has come up THREE TIMES over three different people recently. So many bands that were popular when I was young carried forward into nostalgia-rock today. All the grunge. No Doubt's ska-lite. Even yicky stuff like TLC. But R.E.M. just vanished. Like, NOBODY listens to...

I've been thinking about all of that recently as I have finally come to the conclusion that I really don't like a lot of the music I loved when I was in college. I was into this kind of pretentious indie rock that was just off the beaten path in the 1990s, and it was proud of how lo-fi and...

I mean no disrespect to anybody's opinion, why we enjoy music is such a complicated thing but what this has shown me is that I can dislike two completely different versions of the same song, passionately, for two very different reasons! Somebody somewhere has to have done a study was to why...
