I cancel my Spotify sub and then they come out with lossless and it's great 😭 2 more weeks until I lose premium, so I'm going to annoy my neighbours with my music

Edit: I have made a bogan cocktail: red goon, blackcurrant cordial, ice, water. Cheers! 🍷

I think there are some plugins or programs to back your music up and maybe you can put it on a mp3 player or burn the tracks to cd?

Here’s one at least https://www.noteburner.com/spotify-music-tips/transfer-spotify-playlist-to-external-hard-drive.html

Physical media ramble

There are external cd drives that plug in via usb if your computer doesn’t have one and you prefer that to hard drive. Unfortunately my cheap eBay model didn’t fully work and the ones in Officeworks are like $99. But it’s worth a try as it opens the door to ripping secondhand cds.

There’s Bandcamp but they might not have everything.

You can also buy off iTunes and burn to cd or use on mp3 player. (Kind of regretting converting my desktop with an inbuilt cd drive to Linux as I don’t know if iTunes runs on that. Doh. I may have to buy a non-Apple player but found the eBay mp3 players functioned but had a permanent weird hissing sound.)

Anyway I wish I had got onto all of this sooner myself. It might be too late for my YouTube playlists by now but I may end up getting the $99 usb cd drive

Edit: Try a Snakebite and Black. Equal parts cider and lager with a dash of blackcurrant.

I don't want to give apple money lol, I think I'll wait until I have a job and look at buying physical CDs. I'll need to buy a CD player as my PC doesn't have a disk drive lol
