   being able to reach out on demand and grab most of the sum total of modern recorded music is pretty amazing regardless of the pains and missing bits. i might not like the architecture but the functionality is magic to a kid of the 1970s.

      I remember driving to Boston one weekend with a friend when we were in high school to go buy bootleg cassettes we couldn't find anywhere else. this is way cheaper than that.

      @djsundog It's wild to me how people complain about bandwidths and resolutions when we have access to a virtually inexhaustible amount of media.

      That in and of itself is unprecedented. We've come from recording radio shows to have our favorite songs to being able to acquire an artist entire discography.

      That's just amazing.

         @Are0h we're living in the biggest, messiest, most comprehensive, and most fragile library the world has managed to build so far. i hope we figure out how to straighten it up and make it more resilient before it gets fumbled.

      @djsundog Amen, sir.

      Teenaged me, making mixtapes with his friends and recording songs off the radio, one finger on the REC button waiting for the DJ to announce his favorite, would lose his MIND at the Internet, digital music, and hard drives full of all the best songs.
