The Last Format

This premise is ridiculous.<p>Just visit <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtubemp3.rip&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtubemp3.rip&#x2F;</a> or any of the other thousand sites that do this.<p>Or, you can just record the music as you listen to it using Audacity for example, and save them as an MP3 or any other format.<p>Of course, these tasks require about a minute of minimal effort. In our fast paced modern world of music streaming, who has time to load up an audio program and hit Record? Or type in a Youtube URL and hit Convert? I&#x27;m sure the blog author cant be bothered with such things.<p>....I remember recording cassette tapes off of the radio! Sitting there as a child, waiting Hours for That Song.<p>How times have changed, and for the better!

&gt; Holding music, either in your hand or on a personal hard drive, is a relic of Obama-era music consumption.<p>How is this true in any sense?

This is a problem common to ANY &quot;personal interested data&quot;, it&#x27;s the very same for videos, mails, messages, discussions, ...<p>The trend is lock even better people pushing them to offload their personal stuff and this trend unfortunately keep evolving really fast.<p>One of the last alarming thing I discover is from my bank (Europian, big well-known, not involved in any recent big scandal etc): they offer a digital sign service so I can do more operation via internet banking... Only the bank hold the key. They simply say you go to your personal page, type your OTP and a key pin we give to you in print and that&#x27;s signed. WTF?! Unfortunately I think many IT-ignorant people will find this service nice...

I still buy vinyl by the boatload and they come with MP3 or uncompressed audio cards, usually, so I’ve actually got a large collection of good quality MP3’s. I understand I am the outlier here.

I&#x27;d settle for decent nested playlists and&#x2F;or tagging coupled with reasonable discovery. Hypem used to be okay for discovery but has been gamed to death.
