The best way to listen to music at school.

[Punk91903]

I go to a school where we have Chromebooks and most things are ibossed so no SoundCloud no Spotify and youtube is  Blocked is what would be the best way. and pandora is aids and   I heart is crap so what is the best way?

[Alec M]

last.fm integrates with Spotify, and probably isn't blocked.

Who says you need to stream?

 

we can not have anything that is like a mp3 player or phone

[APasz]

And you need to use a streaming service?

I always used to just download music onto a usb drive or something and play it locally.

To get around a firewall is to use a vpn.

Bypassing your school's Internet filtering/blocking/restrictions will most likely land you in trouble. Don't risk it.

Google drive. I use my phones hotspot.

[Eduard the weeb]

download that dank shit on a flash drive then import it on your device so it downloaded on to your Chromebook, but delete before end of the year.

Mega comes with 50 free gigabytes and is encrypted, unlike Google. I use both Yandex and Mega, because Yandex is also my e-mail and it's convinient for sharing/teamworking, and Mega because of Encryption and how much free storage.

I like googles interface, and who the fuck has over 15gb of music? Oh wait, nvm. Im the guy who has 100gb of anime pictures.

How is that even possible?

And just what does your 100gb comprise of.

I feel as though I would like to do the same. I use about 300 gigabytes a week with music and videos so I think I'll start downloading the anime and manga section on 4chan

Has Google Play been blocked? You could just upload all your music to that and stream from there.

They have to catch the OP first though.

I still buy physical copies of my music and then rip lossless copies, so I do.

I'm at 198GB currently.  All either purchased online or ripped from CDs that are still in my closet. 

 

 

I could take it down to 60GB or thereabout by converting it all from .flac to .mp3 , but I prefer to keep it lossless as it allows you to convert it to whatever new format there will be in 10 or 20 years without losing audio quality.

Where do you get your music from

For digital downloads I check Bandcamp first, then 7digital.  iTunes is only when I really can't find it anywhere else.

 

If I want more than 1 song from a certain album, I'll just buy the physical CD.  I have a couple of good record stores nearby who often have new (as in "unopened") CDs on sale for 5-8 EUR, although for the older and rarer stuff I usually resort to Discogs or Ebay.

Wow. That is a lot. To rip all those in a lossless format, you would be looking at over 1 TB.

 

High five for still buying physical albums.
