I have every CD of my collection ripped to .wav on my computer and I'm planning to back up all of my data soon.

Mmmm, no, not in the album/ studio version anywayHe's all over Running Up That Hill
Gilmour plays on "Rocket's Tail" and "Love and Anger" from "The Sensual World".
One thing is for sure, the sheep is not a creature of the air.

There may be a different reason for buying CDs -my 13yr old grandaughter asked for a CD player and some CDs for Christmas. Not for any reasons of nostalgia, but that she likes to lsiten to music as she drops off to sleep, but wanted it to stop ata finite point -she used to listen to the radio but didn't like the fact that it was still chattering away in the morning! I gues the saem applies to Spotify -it will keep playing the 'you may also like' lists after the album you selected has finished.
Well shoot, I stand corrected! I mistakenly assumed that was him on the studio version as well and not just the live version. Thanks clarifying!

iPhone has a timer which you can set with "Stop Playing" after a finite amount of time.
I have most of my CDs ripped to mp3s. Just the albums that iTunes don't have the track information from I haven't ripped. They might end on my mp3-player.
There's a free app called Mp3Tag that I've found particularly useful for fixing/updating tags from various online sources: https://www.mp3tag.de/en/
In case it's helpful

In Media Jukebox you can create a playlist which will play random selections from your library and specify a total duration, so it can play (for example) an hour's worth of music and then stop.
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
I won't spoil her fun by telling her this. I think the sensation of having an object with a cover and the lyrics printed on it is novel and appealing to her.
Used CDs are often the best deal around, cheaper than downloads and you still get the physical media. For the new releases that I end up purchasing my CD to download ratio is about 50/50.

Oops, yeah, I meant Running Up That Hill.He's all over Running Up That Hill
And apparently I was wrong, so don't worry too much about it

From what I saw in the USA in the 90s the "default" price of an album on a new/sealed CD (w/o necessarily being a newly released album) in stores was around $15 (even though you could find some limited selection for $7.99 etc in bins etc in Tower Records etc) , and I think this $15 price decreased in the new century such as in online CD sales. Could someone point out what the same is for a vinyl record nowadays (that is, the "default" or average price in the USA now)? I went to Amazon's main vinyl page to see if I can see the answer there but the prices varied there wildly from liw $20s to high $30s. Or is it not as easy to see anymore (unlike seeing that $15 was the number for CDs in the 90s)? What was it around the start of the new century? I think it was $25?
How is it that youtube (still) has so many albums for people to listen to free-of-charge? Special deal with so many record companies? I doubt it, it doesn't make sense to me that the record companies wouldn't mind all of it being free.
I suppose they pay the recordcompanies. Most YouTube-videos have advertisements added, often in the middle of a song, unless you want to pay YouTube.
Thank god somebody invented ad blockers. I could not stand all the ads that youtube throws in there.
Neil
Ads in YouTube are probably the most annoying.
Indeed. Without ad blockers, I would not look at half the YT videos that I do.

Well AB on Firefox works wonders on YT (from home (Nl & Bel)
However, this is not quite as effective on Edge
.
I've recently discovered how bad this plague has grown in the NL (but I suspect this us globe-wise) without those ad filters, though.
Frightening & painful.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
This is why Google/YouTube has been cracking down on users who use ad blockers, threatening to cut them off unless they disable their ad blocker or pay for YouTube Premium (now around $15 US).
The best ad blocker for countering this is now uBlock Origin. (AdBlock Plus used to work well but isn't effective against this anymore.)
What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
I also am using the Brave browser right now, which, as far as I know, masks your computer id/location. Youtube can crack down all they want, but I honestly don't think that I could even bear watching youtube/using facebook without an ad blocker. And they've done it to themselves, by throwing insane amounts of ads on everything. It's obscene, really.
Neil
Well, I'm sorry, to tell you, but Facebook and Youtube and others want to earn money. If they can't get it directly, they try it in another way, by advertisements and selling your data. There is no such thing as a free lunch. So if advertisements are blocked, they will at some point try to block this.
Agreed; I would certainly deem a lot of YT videos low-priority if I was forced to start watching ads in the middle of them. As for Facebook, I use the Fluffbusting (Facebook Purity) plug-in, which is highly recommended if you use a PC browser (I don't think there is a phone version). The amount of garbage/nonsense that I never even see is astounding, really. You can really tailor it to your specific tastes.

Of course they do, but it's not about that. It's about them wanting to earn INSANE amounts of money. Heaven help, if they only earned 700 million in the last quarter, as opposed to 1.2 billion in the previous one. They have just gone way overboard, is my point.
