At my age? I rarely ever listen to anything from my mp3 collection (the majority of which is ripped from CDs I bought over the years).

From: Grimly Curmudgeon on 30 Jun 2010 08:47 We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember spike1(a)freenet.co.uk saying something like: >Sod that, just get a small chamber orchestra fitted into your sidecar. >It'd be a tight squeeze and the wind section might have to settle for >sitting on a trailer, but... Bass and cello usually go on a trailer; elbow room see? The one slight drawback is that cello players usually succumb to the exhaust fumes. They're cheap enough, though.

I've had an account for about a year and it's given me more new bands than I could count. Totally complimentary services, I feel. Although Last.fm aren't paying me to say that, they may be paying me. The only thing stopping me forking out for Spotify on my phone (for the commute and bluetooth) is the fact that I've been unable to get any shop to sell me a scala Q2 on the spot and it's a faff getting my in ear phones in and out at the start and end of my 30 min commute and that it would involve setting up some kind of payment, whereas spotify free 'just works' atm. I dunno when I last played an mp3 from my hard disk, and I never start iTunes now. |
