    Where should I keep my music?

    I have some cd's and want to buy more. I usually listen to music through my phone on a bluetooth speaker at home or in my car. Should I just use iTunes or is there something better? If I pay for a song or a whole cd, I want to keep it forever.

    I recommend ALWAYS having 2 PCs... laptop and PC...

    Keep your collection on both AND add an external hard drive for extra backup + you can save some films and tv shows there/porn

    To say streaming is the future is redundant... it is already the here and now. There no longer is "owning" your own library. Sure you can do that if you want to... like holing onto 8-track tapes cuz you bought them.

    Data rates keep getting lower and cheaper... it's almost negigable now. No need to own your library. You pay for access to a limitless library.

    Spotify is the current best option? I don't know to be honest. Every-changing industry... and will have new better options for many years. Same goes for streaming TV. Roku is the best... no wait Apple is the best... no its this new thing... next month it is another.

    It is confusing to me. I will go that route when there is some consensus. Long way to go.

    Streaming is for the lazy... while its a valid "on the road" option... I think you gotta have music files always, you never know when internet will fukk up and music is a necessity....

    MP3s are not that heavy memory wise anyways......

    1st of all, you can use itunes, windows media player, or another media player to store your music. Also you can use an external hard drive if you don't wanna use up memory on your computer.
    2nd..no need to pay for music. You can download it for free here...
    Dirpy.com
    You can even type in artist, title, album...etc. this way when you put it in itunes, wmp all the proper boxes have the correct info...artist, title, album...etc.

    All you do it go to youtube and find a video that has really good sounding audio...
    copy the url...paste it in dirpy...
    then create your mp3 for free.

    This is the quickest and best youtube to mp3 site i have found. Best part about it is youtube has like every song and every redo or remix version you could ever want. Plus you dont have to worry about viruses like you had to back in the day with limewire. Also if you click on faq, then "is dirpy legal". It explains that it is legal. There was a court case a few years back by record companies saying it was illegal, these types of sites won saying it is legal cus of a gray area. Essentially all your doing is recording a song or video for use later just like you would on a tv dvr. As long as your not making cds and selling them, it is legal. (No clue how they would catch you anyway.)
