Where do you download your music from..........

[Bob Denman]

Once!!! I made the mistake of sitting to close to the bands. Way to loud for me and that was when I was a bit younger. So not again or at least not as close!!

Too loud: what does that mean?
No such thing.... I believe that your ears might just be a bit too sensitive.

Truthfully: what I listen to, is largely unfit for human consumption.
But it's always LOUD!
(Unless the Missus is with me! )

I'm not quite sure I understand. I have Pandora on my Mac, and I choose the type of music. If a song comes up and I don't like it, I skip it or I used to be able to. I think I need to check.

I think you get 6 skips an hour with the free version of Pandora.

I can skip as often as I like, and I usually don’t have to as I purchased all of my own music!

[bcer960]

I have a USB in the trunk. It has 2200+ songs on it. They came from CD's I have or other music I have picked up through the years. I prefer this over any streaming service. It's the songs I like. I never skip any of them.
We have a 6 month riding season, last year went over over 13,000 kms, music always on, didn't get through all the songs.

That is my question, how do you record music from Pandora or other services. I have Pandora now

What program do you use for downloading the music from your CDs? I used to use one from Apple; but that computer died, and I could never find the right replacement for it...

[bcer960]

I used windows media player, this vid will help.

but if you CD has a name, and the tracks are all named, they will show in the ripped version. His are not named, and they show that way. You can pick which songs you want to download, so you don't need to do the whole album. it is fairly quick and easy to do.

[Bob Denman]

Believe me: it gets even louder!
When kids see this old dude listening to Ted Nugent at full volume: it blows their minds!

… or Uriah Heep!
… or Hendrix
… or Tull
… or The Scorpions
… or even Megahertz!

[bcer960]

I used to blast it, but then I got sena 20's, now it's all in my head......

[Bob Denman]

If I did that with what I listen to:

you forgot Dio, Maiden, Steel Dragon and Helix

[Bob Denman]

Dio's on my list for sure!
(Did you ever hear his "War Pigs" duet with Ozzie?)
Some of Iron Maiden's music is in my I-pod.. not the biggest fan
Steel Dragon and Helix? I think that they came in too late for my formative years... I'll check them out!

EDIT: I went and pulled a copy of it for you...

Youtube

[Raprider]

No downloads...most of the 6,000 songs I have on my pc are from CDs I own or the few hundred records (yeah, vinyl!) that I've been copying via a USB turntable...this is a time-consuming process...start up the recording software, play a side, flip the record, play second side...then all the songs need to be labelled...truly a labor of love.
Then I can copy what I want onto my phone.

[jcthorne]

Every piece of music on my, and my wife's, phone came from CDs we own.

They still sell those shiny plastic disks with one album on each?

[jcthorne]

That is my question, how do you record music from Pandora or other services. I have Pandora now

I will mention a few terms you can search on since discussion in depth of these can lead places this forum should not go.

Usenet is an old data exchange format that predates the WWW on the internet. Its still around and lots of data exchanged through it.
FLAC is a lossless audio storage format more popular than MP3 on the net as its much higher quality. Original CD quality in a much smaller package.
Lidarr is a software program for keeping track of what music you have and what you want and getting what you are looking for.
NZB is an indexer file that allows you to get the data you are looking for from Usenet.

I have purchased many thousands of albums in many formats over the years. All are now stored on my home pc in a common FLAC format. For my phone, they are converted to mp3. With today's memory tech, its pretty easy to carry 5000 albums in your pocket or in your car stereo on a single chip. Voice control of the music via android auto is much easier while riding than fumbling with a touch screen.

I've had an Amazon Prime acct for awhile and didn't even consider the possibility of music....I'm gonna try it.

[Stevew]

Amazon prime music, with unlimited data on our phones we stream music stations.

that you have on your phone, and listen too while riding/driving. Are they thru purchase or a site on the internet?

I use LPCM which creates WAV files. Here's a hypothetical situation (wink, wink), after I started this thread, I realized I had all I needed to record music, free; a t.v., a magic box connected to the tv (no monthly fee) with music channels (wink, wink), digital audio out (optical) tv connection, and a Sony digital voice recorder, but had to purchase an optical/coax digital-to-analog converter. Here's a disclaimer: You should be paying for all your music due to the copyright infringement policy. Remember, this is all hypothetical.

I get my music from Amazon Prime streaming music service. Plays through any blu tooth device. About $8 a month
