Im torn as I listen to many genres and one of them being Classical Music. Apple having a dedicated app for that is a major plus, so I imagine I’ll be going back at some point. Although I do agree the regular music app is not great.

In fact I love using iPhone as I geek out with my job but I want my phone to be stress free, just I don’t use many Apple stock apps.

Tune My Music.

To be honest I didn’t search for any, and just used where Tidal sent me. It was £3 to transfer it all.

I switched to Tidal recently from AppleMusic and I like it.

It should be noted if you’re listening through Bluetooth like most people then you can’t get high quality.

Also, they allow you to copy your music from other services, using a third party service which was great. It does have a charge and annoyingly it is a recurring charge. So I signed up, transferred my music and then cancelled.

I then sent them a message to say it sucks that they don’t have a one of few for doing this. If you use it and agree I would send them a similar message so they get the idea that most people don’t need continuous syncing.

I give up talking to that person, as you say they seem to take issue with me boycotting something which matters nothing to them.

At this point I feel they’re just in it to be argumentative.

Where’s the line for you then?

Would you support the Foo Fighters playing a concert at anti LGBTQ+ rallies?

Would you support the Foo Fighters playing a concert Neo-Nazis?

Would you support the Foo Fighters playing a concert for the IDF?

The Foo Fighters have enough money that there kids kids won’t have to work again.

The why is because I don’t support Amazon and in turn people that do support Amazon.

I don’t agree that too many artists are making money that don’t deserve it. If people are buying there music, whether I think their music is vapid or not doesn’t matter. If you are a pop star and have millions of fans then they’ve earned it imo.

As a software developer I could earn double my current wage working for a gambling company, but I don’t support that and so I think any artist I support should have the same kind of morals.

Nice. I’d love to get down to some National Trails.

Huh… interesting revelation about Chopin, I was aware Wagner was pretty anti-Semitic.

As for not listening to Chopin, I think I can be pretty sure that he isn’t making any money from me listening to him, the same as listening I my FF CDs. I thought I had been pretty clear on that for this entire thread that I would not be rewarding them with money or time on services that give them money.

Thanks dude.

I appreciate you being supportive of me choosing to spend my time and money as I please, something I support of you too.

FYI - I am very happy, I spent the day with family today, put a deposit on a new tattoo and treated myself to a lovely Seiko. I’m now listening to some Chopin and waiting for food.

Dave is this you?

You don’t know me and you don’t know how many companies I boycott on moral grounds.

You don’t know what direct action I take against companies I don’t agree with, nor the activism I do IRL to further causes I support.

This is one thing in a large and growing list of causes.

I’ll end the conversation here as there is nothing more to be gained.

I do hope you have a great weekend though.

I don’t expect perfection. I am not perfect m, merely holding people to a higher standard than some.

You do you bro and I’ll do me. It’s not that deep.

Have a wonderful weekend, I know I will.

So you’re saying if you can’t completely remove yourself from society then what’s the point taking a stand on anything?

Like if we can’t stop all murder what’s the point in prosecuting any murders.

I never said anything about not listening to any bodies music. I said I want give them my attention on platforms that do reward them with money. I won’t buy merch etc.

I’ll give my money and time to things that I actually care about. Like taking direct action against companies killing Palestinians.
