Youtube Premium is worth every CENT

[Yskas]

It's incredible, I can watch YT on my consoles without ads, I can minimize YT and have audio only play on my Android tablet, it's great!!!!

Next to Gamepass this is now my second favourite subscription service.

Who needs youtube premium when i have 900 gb of music on my phone via a 1 tb micro sd card plus i can already minimize youtube and let music play with out premium just using a dns server. Weird though it works on my phone but won't work on my wifes or sons phones.

i hope they're lossless CD rips or something or the economics of this become quite hilarious

Of course. I haven't used an mp3 since 2009. Been using flac and ripped all my cd's to the best quality flac. Each of my flac files are over 150 mb. Who even uses mp3's with their compressed tinny sound.

Only took me a few weeks to do a little over 600 cd's. And yes the RIAA allows you to make a backup of your cd's. But only one copy.

Is this that "Corporate Activism" I've been hearing about?

"I put up with annoying ads, ya know, because somehow the app is more "convenient" than youtube without ads.

Ya know, google is just struggling so much, and really needs ALL THE MONEY, and I have unlimited data so, yeah... Ya know? Ads are like totally okie dokie! And they synergise so well with my corporate branded headphones in so many diverse colors!"

I only use the YouTube app when working out and as TV background noise on my Xbox. It's literally not a big deal.

I would not minds ads if they where all short but I've seen abusive 20 minutes long ads ... for known brand product or services , ads should not be 20 minutes long especially when you're watching like a 10 minutes video.

so yeah , youtube is pushing peoples in using ad blocker ... then thinking they will pay youtube with subscriptions to remove the ads.

I just wanted to remind you that youtube playing after app is minimised was a bug then feature and now it's premium service.

Why do you have such huge flac files? :O
Each of my flac's weights around 30-40MB and even despite some being ~5minutes long still barely hit over 40MB

Cause i want perfect quality. Yea flac is lossless and only uses a tiny amount of compression but i want higher quality. Yes i know the quality is only going to be as good as the source. Crappy source crappy copy. But i like to rip my cds at a sample rate of 192 khz at 24 bits, which equals around 35,000 kbps bit rate.

Flac... The digital version of boomers and hipsters saying "Records sound better".

Try a blind test on a good stereo or audio setup with a properly encoded 320kbps Mp3 version of a song and a Flac version. You WILL NOT reliably be able to tell the difference.

Yes, FLAC has the complete audio source, and from a strictly technical perspective, is qualitatively superior to even a 320Kbps MP3. However, anyone claiming to be able to consistently tell the difference between the two correctly in a true blind test is just lying. A properly encoded 256Kbps MP3 or AAC is virtually indistinguishable from its FLAC counterpart in a “better vs. worse” sense even with very good audio equipment. People talk about hearing cymbals and “dense” music more authentically through FLAC because just they’re looking for a justification for their beliefs.

I used to be an audio snob, and much like people that think some $1000 wine is better than a cheap bottle, when you aerated them both, they are essentially indistinguishable from one another in blind tests.

Flac is great for one thing, archiving. When it comes to fitting as many songs into limited space for things like cars and cellphones and USB keys and such, MP3 is still king, especially with modern decent stereos and equipment.

Better equipment, better sound.

Adblocker is a generic term that includes any and all adblockers.

Ublock origin is still called an adblocker.

Don't be a dingus.
