Anon asked on Mar 19: Okay but I do also need that player to have bluetooth if possible. Not even a convienience thing, I’m a fidgety free-roamer constantly walking around getting headphone cords snagged on things and pulled out 👀👉👈 Tumblr user jendermad replied this on Mar 19: Here's your solution (imo) : "No money no object" (Android flavoured) Player: SONY NW-A55 or similar models. (they can be cheaper than FiiO models of same formfactor if it's an old stock or used) Software: Foobar2000, MortPlayer Headphones: Anything comfortable to your head (i.e. it's entirely depends on your liking - open\closed overall, on-ear) in wired form with detachable cable + a tiny jack<-->jack cable + a Bluetooth DAC.* "Cheap and good enough" (Android flavoured) Player: An old phone running GrapheneOS or any other custom non-AOSP OS (preferrable, if lazy - just use a launcher (Hyperion, KISS)) Software: Foobar2000, MortPlayer Headphones: Anything comfortable to your head (i.e. it's entirely depends on your liking - open\closed overall, on-ear) in wired form with detachable cable + a tiny jack<-->jack cable + a Bluetooth DAC.*

(continuation of previous image) "Retro and proud of it" Player: ("groddy yet cheap" approach) An iPod of any age (Classic\Photo\Video, i.e 4-6Gen) OR Creative Zen (any that show up as a usb storage when plugged in computer) OR SanDisk Sansa (any of those that can use Rockbox) plus a pair of portable bluetooth transmitter\recievers ("pricey & classy" approach) Either: SanDisk Clip Sport Plus, Cowon S9, Cowon J3, Creative ZEN Style M300 Headphones: Anything comfortable to your head (i.e. it's entirely depends on your liking - open\closed overall, on-ear) in wired form with detachable cable + a tiny jack<-->jack cable + a Bluetooth DAC.* *It's better to use something simple from FiiO, or splruge on BTR5 in case if you want to feel & hear everything (or have a pair 500ohm headphones laying around) Hope this helps, stranger <3 P.S. If by any chance wired headphones+BT-DAC is not a viable solution, one can buy either an Anker/Soundcore, (older models) AKG, Sony or splurge on B&0, Sonos, or Focal. If one is not afraid to order up from CN and in need of some IEMs - KZ or TRN are a good option, just be sure to order 078 connector instead of MMCX as latter one sometimes may be more fragile to use daily (for the BT modules, as it's better to have modules with connectors for swappable earpieces)

Tumblr user riseofthecommonwoodpile wrote on Jan 31 2026: if you illegally download all of your music and then buy like 2 albums from smaller or independent bands you’ve likely already done more to pay musicians than a year of spotify streaming. just pirate everything and send some walking around money to a couple artists you like. they’re probably on bandcamp, wait till a bandcamp friday. spotify hates you anyways. Tumblr user ralfmaximus replied with this on Mar 12 2026: Next Bandcamp Friday is May 1st, 2026! Even buying from Bandcamp in-between Bandcamp Fridays yields more profits to the artist than Spotify. Bandcamp charges artists 10% to 15% to host their music, compared to $0.003 and $0.005 per stream on Spotify. That's right, you'd have to play the same song 200 times minimum to earn the artist $1, and 30% of that $1 earned goes to Spotify. Worse, Spotify pays the rights holder these royalties, not the artist. So if your band has a contract with a label, the LABEL gets paid, then the artist gets a percentage of that. This article is from 2020 (clickable hyperlink missing) but illustrates the issue with an example. The spotlighted artist earned $4200 from Bandcamp via 700 customers in two days. The same artist earned $100 from roughly six years of streaming.

(continuation of previous image) Also, while you can stream from Bandcamp, you can keep your music! Download the mp3 and it's yours forever. Also also, there's no ads! Also also also, there's no AI! WHY are you giving money to Spotify?? Tumblr user anarch0possum replied this on ar 18: it drives me fucking nuts that nobody even thinks to bring up the millions of dollars that spotifys ceo pours into the military industrial complex. is everything else spotify is doing really as bad as funding the fucking war machine? really? you people are fucked
