Reply to Did pirated music help the iPod become popular? by EglinAirBaseIntern

F for everyone who didn't pirate music and instead built vast iTunes libraries costing thousands only for streaming to come along a few years later.

I mean they did support the artists by doing this, but it just feels like the music industry had its fun getting people to buy the same album again and again every time a new format came along.

As other people have mentioned though, CD ripping was a huge thing and was built into iTunes, so you could easily fill an iPod with music you had technically paid for.

I personally went through phases of all-out Limewire piracy, CD buying and legit digital purchases. It was just kind of messy and as a young person I couldn't afford to buy every song I wanted to listen to. Streaming definitely came around and tidied the whole thing up.

I just pasted "Da doom da da da Da doom da da da Da doom eighties" in the search engine box. I believe I should say THANK YOU. If it wasn't for your question I would have never known about the existence of this hit ;)

Reply to Why do you listen to sad music? by rusthd

I have stumbled across sad music by surprise before. I typically notice it and move on - in purpose. If someone recommends music to me that feels sad to me, I mentally note it and move on. I rarely seek out sad music. I can watch the news or listen to the news if I want to feel despair.

Personally, I go out of my way to avoid sad music or songs that trigger depression

Reply to Tina Turner quiz by wtf_yoda

I always thought it was some kind of a riddle: What's low but next second high in motion?
And no, to this day I have no idea what could it be. A bee?
