     @prettygood @theorytoe @djsumdog I might pirate some music. There really isn't very many albums I don't already have that I can't live without. If the price isn't crazy I might just buy them digital or mail order more CDs
     
     Spotify was good at helping me find new music, but I can only think of like 7-8 albums I might need to buy

     @djsumdog @theorytoe @dielan I'll mention Navidrome as well. It enables streaming from your homelab and has shuffle features and the like. FLAC and ALAC support is iffy, but everything else has worked wonderfully for me surprisingly.

     I just have a 1TB microSD card in my phone that is synced to my music collection ... although that's might not be as nice an option as it was last year with flash prices.. :blobcatgrimacing:

     @djsumdog @theorytoe @dielan Eh... keeping your music synced with a solution like that isn't really feasible unless you like disassembling your phone every time you want to listen to a new album. Most phones also don't have SD card slots at *all*. Main reason I tried Navidrome was due to switching to iPhone.

     I specifically look for microSD when buying phones, as well as the ability to remove all things Google from it. Sony is still fairly solid for both. My last one lasted ~5 years and I'm hoping this one does too:

     Syncing is pretty easy using adb-sync or KDE Connect.

     This one is Phantom Shadow
     
     Normally Machinae Supremacy only makes fight songs that are catchy but shallow. This album was the first time they tried to tell a story with music and I don't think their fans really understood it. It's not a bad album tho

     That was quick it was only 5 tracks
     
     Next up is even shorter. This CD only has two tracks in it. I got this at TennoCon 2025, it's a fictional boyband in the game that has a collection of eldritch abomination clones that you fight with the games nemesis system. Everybody at the TennoCon 2025 concert knew all the words when they played this live. It's a shame Destiny 2 doesn't do anything cool like that for their players :smug4:

     This band opened for The Midnight when I saw them live in Seattle a year or two ago. You can tell by the lyrics these people are from California (derogatory) but the lady is a nice singer so I was happy to pick this up at the merch table

     While that's ripping here's some CDs I took out of the bin that are already ripped
     
     The first two are Protomen albums. This band is so unserious. It's basically a dramatic rock opera about the plot of Mega Man. I saw this band live and it was awesome. The regulars at the bar (this was at El Corazon in Seattle) looked at the crowd in disgust as we all sang along to this nerdy shit
     
     No CD collection is complete without Daft Punk's Discovery, and on the right is Glitch Mob's first album Drink the Sea. Which was basically the soundtrack of my first tech job, which was IT at a local college, where the most senior technician got to set up the Pandora station. So I heard just about every single song on this album before buying it for myself lol
