Don't zoomers know that the height of brickwalling was the CD era?

if you use Spotify or Apple Music or w/e, don’t you get to choose what version of an album you listen to?

If you use soulseek and rutracker, you do

CDs are pretty good among the major physical formats, but they're still quite limited. If the world weren't a gay-ass lowest common denominator torment matrix, we could be two generations past CDs by now. Imagine multi-channel or even omnidirectional digitized music you can skip, shuffle, scrobble, reverse, or selectively adjust the volume of as you please, defined under an open and standard. Like digital format, Blu-ray audio, Dolby Atmos, and the Stem Player rolled into one.
WE COULD HAVE SO MUCH BETTER YET WE ARE PLAGUED BY GREEDY GAY RETARDS

There's no way these are the best shills money can hire

>how do you do, fellow groypers

>>127607811
No that's capitalism.

The amount of money that gets wasted on impotent consent manufacturing must be heart stopping

>>127607964
Not owning anything is literally communism

>>127608237
Accumulation of private property into the hands of the few is [reddit voice] literally [/reddit voice] capitalism

>>127608487
What does that have to do with owning CDs you commie reddit retard?

buying a CD is no different to buying a service you fucking spastics. neither are communism because communism doesn’t have money.

>>127608237
Once again, that's capitalism.

I don't have the slightest clue who they think this is going to convince

You wanna know what else is based?

Unlimited access to high quality music that can be easily downloaded, copied and redistributed. CD's are nothing but nostolgia bait due to being an "aesthetic" like vinyl.

It is you who doesn't place value on modern technology. Just like how nobody cared about cds and vinyls back when people used them.

stupid fucking nostalgia blinded niggers

>>127608743
NO!!!!!! IT'S NOT BASED!!!!!! IM BLEEDING SHEKELS

What the hell are you about you retarded autist

>>127607599
This is literally a hate crime.

>>127607718

The biggest shortcoming of the CD standard was not supporting text labels for the Album / Track names which would have been trivial to add to the format. Instead we got stuck with id3 labels.

>>127608885
you can contain anything on an id3 label tho
are you talking about the old ones with limited space?

Bruh the Loudness Wars were born on CD, this includes plenty of remasters.

>>127609502
the point is when youre buying a disc or downloading a rip you can pick which version you want. if your streaming service is serving up a brickwall, tough shit

>>127607577
I used to have Spotify Premium and these days I have YouTube Premium which comes with a YT Music subscription. Based on my experience, yes there are plenty of albums with that have multiple different versions available on these platforms. But there are also cases where there is only a single version of an album to be available when multiple versions exist. I'm sure there are dozens of internal factors that lead to these decisions.

>>127609547
The problem with your point is that there are plenty of albums out there that only exist with a brickwalled master. This includes albums that first came out in the '90s.

>>127609547
>you can pick which version you want
to an extent, depends how much you’re willing to shill out because copies containing the original mixes and masters are often sought after. for example original / early CD pressings of rust in peace are worth way more than the newer pressings with the blown out remasters

>>127609664
>dozens
Id say it probably comes down to licensing/money on one hand and knowing that the vast majority of consoomers wont understand or care about the difference on th eother
>>127609720
just because it doesn’t apply in every single case does nothing to invalidate the point.
there are far, far more albums available in multiple versions of varying quality than there are albums only available in a single bad version.
>>127609741
yes well personally, despite having a sizeable collection of physical media, Im also a remorseless and committed music pirate. these days I only buy physical direct from artists or small labels, and then only if I really like something and want a physical copy. Im usually just as happy with the flacs.

>>127607337 (OP)
>Don't need to listen to terrible loudness war remasters
but CDs were the cause of this initially
and the biggest sufferers of this curse have yet to be remixed (sabbath's 13 and metallica's death magnetic)

>>127608639
I'm not the other fag you're arguing with, just correcting your retarded statement. You're the one who veered off-topic ITT

>>127607337 (OP)
you are right. those who disagree are wrong
