24 July 2024
There's no release timeline, however.

Seriously, Spotify? Apple music just costs me around 200+ php a month for me to listen to my favorite songs at up to Hi-Res lossless (24/192) quality, and you expect me to return to my old Spotify playlist and pay possibly over 800 a month for more or less the same audio quality? I'd rather stick with Apple's streaming service for now, thank you very much (doesn't mean I'll be buying any iPhones or Ipads for the time being unless absolutely necessary)

    Difference between free youtube music and spottify for 18 is onnly in cost of money othervise is the same.
    Said better audio you can use on both Youtube and Spotify with litterary same results at the end.

That's as much as a decent JBL or Bose (Bose or anything by Harman isn't even considered 'audiophile' popularly, they hate ANC with passion).
          Entry barrier nowadays is low with cheap Chinese brand like KZ or Moondrop, you can get a decent KZ for $7.

              I wont mind.
              But most people buy what they can affford so JBL usually.
              Not everyone can buy Bose, Sony, Quality Senheiser or Yamaha.

                        Like with a car if a for example peugeot 206 or Skoda drives me friom my home capitol city of Slovakia Bratislava drives me to Paris in France which is apropox 1400 kilometres in lets say 12 hours i am happy.
                        If for example i use Buggatti Veyron, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari Lamborghini or Porsche the experience will be different but i still gets there which is the primary point.

                        Like to buy a bussiness A class ticket for a plane of a common ticket is great enough the said difference in final price is huge but apart that you get only a bit better food, bit better screen and more comfort but in the end it will be same thing.

                        Said audioquality can be different but nobody would care apart few audiopholes.

                              Life evolves and changes and so too does music and our thoughts emotions and love experiences in life too and MUST with music!!

                              I mean I LOVE Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye and trust me it still moves me but I'm 51yr old and love all music. Not every woman I'm gonna bang or when I'm hitched never the same woman doesn't wanna hear the same tune when going out or when in the mood or even at all .

                              Conversely your morning shower song to Amp you up will. Wed to change after a few weeks few months. Outkast's So Fresh n Clean rocked when it came out but I got bored of in in less than 3wks. I still own it may play it again sometime in thr future but not my morning song.

                                Navya23, 24 Jul 2024i have a lot. but il name persons. 1. jhon askew 2. a... moreYikes!

                                I haven't heard of trance in over a decade, and even though I still see it on DI.FM Radio and a few other places I'm actually afraid it still sounds the same from mid 90's.

                                I appreciate you posting artists but it's nicer to have the tracks you rate as bangers! ;)

                                I've just re-discover DnB ans man it's a LIT better from that same time frame so I'm gonna screenshot and text extract your listing for next week to see what I can find on Spotify.

                                PS: I also usef to be absorbed into followed mentality on iPhone that Apple Music was the best. Man I had no idea how terribly ball chomping that mentality was until I switched to S23 and Spotify!

                                  Anonymous, 24 Jul 2024what is that supposed to mean? you're telling people to EQ?To find their target frequency response and match it with a parametric (!) EQ yeah. But most people won't have the tools and knowledge, let alone on-device dsp access because manufacturers of consumer products don't want to give, they'll rather throw new overpriced products on the market every year to rip people off with sound fakery gimmicks like spatial audio and so on..
