@outofcontrol @shawnhooper This is the "time-consuming and resource consuming" part I was talking about.

@acarson Fair. I put a lot of time into trying I guess, and was really pissed at how little it worked :/ @outofcontrol @shawnhooper
@chris @outofcontrol @shawnhooper Does yours include music not generally available in the US? Because I promise that makes it worse.
@chris @acarson @shawnhooper You’ve done more than I have. Usually I try some local managers, or some other service, grow weary of not finding what I really want in a service, and give up for another year.
@acarson That’s a big part of it. Some of it is just recordings by friends groups and stuff like that too. Though I’m disappointed that Tidal doesn’t even seem to have bigger stuff. @outofcontrol @shawnhooper
@outofcontrol Ha. I’m a perfectionist with my music. It’s try only real joy lately and I just can’t give that up. @acarson @shawnhooper
@chris @acarson @shawnhooper This about sums it up for me:
“Music is, to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
@outofcontrol @acarson @shawnhooper I get that. and thank you all for the suggestions. If I came off short, I didn’t mean to. At work (as always) and in a VERY stressful situation this morning)
@chris @acarson @shawnhooper You were great! I’m looking at Tidal now, just wish something wasn’t USA owned 🙁
@outofcontrol Yeah, that would be wonderful… though I’m starting to worry, as I move more things off of US tech as an American, how long until I’m cut off of the things I’m moving to. @acarson @shawnhooper
@chris @acarson @shawnhooper VPN hopefully, if it came to that (assuming still legal to use).
@outofcontrol I think we’ll find out… for me I have my VPN on a Hetzner instance… that might be an issue. @acarson @shawnhooper
@chris @acarson @shawnhooper Nice! Hetzner here as well.
