Zoomers have discovered ipods

I miss Grooveshark

why are they all so CUTE!

Good. Hopefully it spark a resurgence in DAP tech.

Miscegenation.

ipod is not physical media. are you retarded

this sadly won't bring back limewire

I’m fine with this, just maybe not youtube to mp3. There’s no way it won’t sound like shit but I know tiktok users don’t care about fidelity (i argued with one about pirating correctly and she said she “didn’t feel like it”).

I'm a zoom zoom and I "just discovered" iPods a month ago, though, I bought it to use it when I'm in the military, since camera phones are not allowed in camp

Isn't Anon Babble mostly zoomers at this point? Why do we get threads about "zoomers discovering x" when like 80% of the people here are zoomers?

You shouldn't join the military, they do violence

If zoomers discovered Soulseek would it get popular enough for the government to actually make it illegal?

Why does everyone act like gen Z is younger than they really are? They have first hand experience with most of the things that they're believed not to.

Well the weird thing about being born in 1997 and being 28 like me, is that I grew up with cassettes, VHS tapes, N64, Gameboy Color, CRTVs in my house, and I got my first cellphone at 13, my parents used actual fold out maps for directions while driving, yet someone who was born in 2005 and is currently 20, did not have any of those things most likely. Yet both of us are considered Gen Z. So that's why the years that generations are captured in makes no sense 1997-2013. Think how far off I am in relatability with a 15 year old born in 2013, it makes no sense.

Well there's your problem! Also YouTube to MP3 sounds fineeeeee.

15 year old born in 2013

it makes no sense

Anon...

dubs but damn, that math is insanely retarded

128kbps audio

I remember having an ipod shuffle when I was like 8, all I listened to was Justin Beiber and the entire Phineas and Ferb soundtrack. It's a miracle I turned out straight, now that I think about it there's still time.

Perfectly good.

Speak for yourself faggot, zoomer here, I got all my music downloaded on 320 kbps bitrate with a pair of bluetooth headphones that support LDAC, millennials are the loyal goyim that slop on normie shit like Spotify.

most zoomers I know do this (t. zoomer) although I'm a third worlder so that might make an impact as well. people use spotify because of storage mostly but know how to add local files etc. or they just play stuff on YouTube. booms are on radio (occasionally digital if their Xer/mill flashed them some mp3s), Xers use youtube, mills are either youtube or digital files

I use vlc on my pc and my phone for all media
that I downloaded
illegally

why are you joining the military?

she looks like she smells good

Zoomer

320 Kbps

ok faggot enjoy your compressed slop

Just use a phone with an external SD and you littleraly have a terabyte of music lmao. I miss the IPOD days but an older phone is a million times better.

consoooom

Why do zoomies need to keep buying shit?

external SD

it's either an expensive sony or mid tier shitter. they're really pushing us to streaming

i loved my ipod from 2006 up until last year when i got some bluetooth headphones for my phone... i cant go back, its so convenient

it's either an expensive sony

Just get a fucking sandisk?? They're cheap as shit and are the industry standard??

Video sauce? What's her @

talking about current phones with sd, sorry. or maybe go for older androids

up until last year when i got some bluetooth headphones for my phone

I'm in the opposite boat. I used to only use bluetooth, until they kept fucking breaking on me over and over. I switched to wired pods and audiophile headphones and never looked back.
Bluetooth headphones are usually bass cannons too until you reach multiple hundreds of dollars range, and at that point it's cheaper to get wired headphones that sound the same or even better.

Ah, I see. Yeah I agree with you there. They really do hate giving us any options. I feel bad for the guy who uses his iphone as a camera and needs to transfer photos over the fucking cloud or USB
Maybe it is worth it to get a cheap dap that plays wav files, since all cheap android phones run like diarrhea after a year or so

I just use cheap soundcores because their batteries still hold up after 2 years so far. picked them because they're owned by anker who make nice batteries

most decent daps run android anyway, at least the ones with big screens. dunno how long those can stay supported. at least with popular cheap chink androids I can eventually go for lineageOS

cheap soundcores

I used to have cheap skullcandy's. I cleaned them religiously and the sound kept getting unbalanced for some reason. Also the tips kept falling off in my ear if I slept with the buds in.
Bluetooth buds just aren't worth it for me anymore, far more of a pain in the ass. I can understand why other people would use them though.

most decent daps run android

Not sure if it's decent, but I use the hifi walker h2. It uses a scrollwheel so I put rockbox on it and it runs like a dream. Super easy to switch tracks in the car too without fiddling around on a touchscreen

its old zoomers in their late 20's complaining about the young ones in their late teens

looks promising. I'm gonna research this one, thanks

chores, taking a shit, walking around, etc

oh and I forgot for listening to random videos so I can fall asleep

I can understand why other people would use them though

Did you not read that? Are you illiterate? Also I can do the same stuff with my wired buds

Sauce pls

no chance of getting cum on cables, not tethered to my desktop pc so I can just stand up and go to pee, etc

You NEED to like wireless

I can just plug out and plug into my phone or mp3 player?? Are you trying to ragebait me?

yeah but you have to wipe first. every second counts

So? It's like in the 80s where you recorded what was playing on the radio.
This is soul you'll never understand.

I miss when smartphones still had fm. apparently even the cheap ones have the hardware but they just aren't enabled anymore

I want one of those mp3 players with a radio built in which you could record onto the device. It'd be comfy listening to the radio on the reg again.

Kek this millennial retard doesn't realize that flac and 320kpbs mp3 have little to no difference in the way they sound, in fact there're multiple tests online that prove this very point, unless your ears are rotten from listening to shit music from the 90s or whatever the fuck, your 100mb flac music files are not but junk that solely exist to take up space, Keep up with the times old man!

You're too old to hear the difference faggot

MP3s are obsolete. OGG is a much better file due to it's far heightened level of compression with far less loss than MP3.
Yes, the 320kbp vs flac argument is mostly a meme but the efficiency of MP3 is still BTFO by many new formats made in the modern era.

Good. Break free of algorithm slop, kiddos
Still honestly better to have a dedicated music player. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd've switched back to a basic years ago
Who cares when the infinitely superior Soulseek is still going strong?
Based

if mp3 is such a good format for music, why haven't they made mp4 yet?

Personally I'm a schizo so I don't trust any cloud sharing. So I use a Galaxy s9. I believe that was the last Phone to feature an auxiliary port as well... I have a new phone but don't use it for music. Looks weird carrying two phones but it actually comes in handy if you meet any strange women lol

Apple should make all this nostalgia hardware man, would probably sell a lot of iPods and iMacs. I mean the computers that are like all pink, purple, green and stuff. Pic related. Except you put all the usual parts inside them.

Gen Z would seriously have hands free orgasms if you said their computer could look like this. Also bonus points if you said it was the LGBTQ rainbow. The purple one says Protect the Dolls on it.

I was also thinking if Apple made a dumb phone it would go off because so many people want a fun flip phone that works well. Just of how people are they could sell it for 500 bucks with 100 bucks of parts and still sell a million of them.

so I don't trust any cloud sharing

I don't trust cloud sharing either. Not for the same reasons as you, but there have been multiple times where information in the cloud suddenly went poof.
Also, I find that cloud stored music is a lot more finnicky to play than just locally stored files.

would probably sell a lot of iPods

The issue with the iPod is that it is offline. Apple's main strategy in music is now through a subscription service. If you suddenly went offline, they couldn't verify if you're still subscribed and would lose them money if you could just keep playing music without giving them money.

just use itunes!

Promoting itunes would divide their userbase into two parts (itunes users, apple music users) and would make them less money in whole.

I agree with everything else though, they need to start doing nostalgia marketing.
