I dont like to pay for spotify tbh so i download my music and can easily port it between all devices.. my only problem is that playlists cant be ported that way so i end up updating them twice.. do u guys know a solution to that? A music player that has a pc and phone version?

If you aren't willing to either listen for free with ads, or pay like 10 bucks a month, then no, you're doing it the only way possible. Figure it out.

i dont get the point if your comment.. is it just u telling me that you dont know and im a bad person because i download music

I said neither of those things. I know exactly how to do what you want to do, I also know that you're allowed to figure it out on your own. I don't care what music or how much you download, I grew up in the height of Napster and kazaa and limewire.

Sometimes, we don't need a reason to do things. Multiple people here have suggested things you can do, which you shot down all of them, so I respond. Is there a way to do what you want? Absolutely.

I can rip any album from Spotify using Note Burner for PC. If you get the old version (I'll have to look up which build --- it's 2.2.4) it will even let you rip albums that were De-Listed. So let's say you wanna rip DIR EN GREY's album "Uroboros" but Spotify un-listed it --- you can STILL use the old version of Note Burner (version 2.2.4) to grab the album, despite the fact it was un-listed.

Hiby Music Player for Android is also good. I wish they would make a PC version. But whatever, I still have Winamp and that works just fine.

"No Offline Playback"

You do if you rip the albums directly from Spotify using Note Burner 2.2.4 on your PC....

(Rhyme Asylum's album was de-listed, but Note Burner 2.2.4 ripped it anyway).

Are you just asking for a PROGRAM for your computer that will play your existing music files???? Winamp.... It really whips the llama's ass.

1

el_yanuki OP t1_irkkt7h wrote

no im talking about a application that runs on both windows and android and can play existing music... therfor if i create playlists and sync music using that programm it will be able to have the same playlists on both devices

Fluffy_Little_Fox t1_irkl6ys wrote

Winamp exists as both a Windows PC program and an Android App.

Playlists....???

You mean like .m3u files?

el_yanuki OP t1_irklj61 wrote

ohh i was wrong.. thank u, winamp is what i was looking for.

yeah playlist files, their type is different for almost every app tho soo..

Winamp uses .m3u across both platforms.

i alreaddy am syncing between my devices, i have my music offline anyways.. i soecifically need the same programm to run on both devices in order to sync playlists as well

Fluffy_Little_Fox t1_irklkgh wrote

I meant that --- if you're too broke to be able to pay for a monthly subscription to Spotify, just find a mirror site of Pirate Bay and go TORRENT the music that you want.

I mean, you're probably not gunna find the super rare stuff like DIR EN GREY or GACKT on there (at least not in high bitrates), but you can get WHOLE DISCOGRAPHIES in 320kbps or Flac. Busta Rhymes, David Bowie, Elton John, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Prince --- all those are still easy to get a hold of.

Piracy isn't dead. It just isn't as mainstream these days.

If you can't afford a few dollars a month for unlimited music then something is very wrong with your budgeting

its not that i dont have the money, its that i dont wanna spend it, and if u cant see that that is a smart thing to do, then id say something is wrong with your budgeting.. i have my music downloadet, im happy with that i can listen to it for free and all is good. i dont see a point in spending money every month for the same thing, yeah i could but i am safing mate, im spending it ob more nesecary things

I fully relate to the desire to have your music available in a way that does not require a constant connection to the internet, since listening to music on SPOTIFY on your SMARTPHONE costs money because of data rates.

I would suggest that you either buy a small DAP (digital audio player) like a Hiby R3 Saber that uses Micro SD cards for storage, or maybe get an older CD Player like a Sony D-NE320 that will let you convert your high quality ripped albums into ATRAC using the Sonic Stage software for PC, then you can have like, 7 to 10 albums on one CD-R and nobody can take that from you.

With Spotify or YouTube, there is no GUARANTEE that your favorite album or song is going to stay available forever.

Exactly, like how cant you afford 5$ that is like the price of pretty much any thing. That is the equivalent of working at McDonald's for 20 mins.

I'm going to use Note Burner 2.2.4 to steal a bunch of Camui Gackt's albums off of Spotify, and nobody can stop me. Buwahaha.

His albums are hard as hell to come by, considering they are quite rare, and to import even just ~one~ album would cost $40 on some service like CD Japan or Yes Asia.

At least when DIR EN GREY started to get popular in the U.S. they started releasing their albums here in stores at normal American prices (like... $14 to $18).
