Popular Post RedundantIdiot Posted August 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2022 I buy CDs as I like to have a physical copy of albums, I transfer them onto my IPod. I also listen to music on Spotify, although it’s mainly songs that I don’t have on my IPod that I listen to on Spotify. I’ve also used Spotify as a means to try an album before I buy it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slave To The Network Posted August 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2022 I buy CDs or digital copies and that's it. I don't stream music either. I'm so glad Green Day is not working with Butch Walker again! He just seems like such an ass on top of not bringing out the best in them artistically. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 On a similar theme to the CDs versus streaming conversation, am I the only one who prefers paper tickets/print at home tickets over e-tickets? I can see how e-tickets are quick to get into the venue and it saves postage of the tickets, but some people like to keep the paper tickets from the concert or are worried about accessing e-tickets at the venue. We had e-tickets for Bryan Adams 3 months ago but none of our devices were picking up a good enough Wi-Fi signal at the arena (which Showsec employees at the arena admitted isn’t great) so we had to queue to get paper tickets at the box office. We’ve since got into another gig at the arena with screenshots on my phone of the e-tickets, but I liked being able to choose to print my HM ticket at home over an e-ticket as I could keep it as a souvenir (not to mention I knew there wasn’t going to be hassle at the venue with paper tickets). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss the days I kept all my ticket stubs from shows, but I stopped when etickets came along that never felt the same to me as an old machine printed ticket ripped in half. The digital tickets I don’t like are the kind you can only open in the company app (like AXS) and I do worry about those wondering if they’ll work when you need them too. Ticketmaster ones I like because you can add them to your Apple wallet and those are downloaded you don’t need Wifi to be working to access them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I love collecting old paper tickets. Only got E-Tickets for Hella Mega. For upcoming shows and Rock am Ring it‘s still papper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gig that I used the screenshots to enter was supposed to be app only (Gigs and Tours app), no screenshots or tickets from the box office. Only when we got there the arena wasn’t doing app only and we could use screenshots or paper tickets to get in (presumably because the arena knows it’s Wi-Fi is too shit to do app only). Not sure why Gigs and Tours tried to put the fear of god in people by saying that people would be turned away without the app working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always taken screenshots as a just in case (my phone doesn't always like the reception at Sox park). I've never had an issue with doing it this way, and this year was the first time I've heard any venues say no screenshots. How do they even tell the difference unless they try swiping your phone? If they did that for every person, it'd take forever for everyone to get in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been collecting CD since the early 90s, and yet in 2022 I've pumped the breaks. I have bought three cds and a few records this year, but nothing has wowed me with the packaging, and if there's nothing cool to look at inside, I need money for other things. I still go to the music shops, but that's mainly because I get a nice feeling from flipping through records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's so easy, download music to PC then on to moby (cell) and save to cloud. All your music at your fingertips wherever you may be. But, for some reason I decided to buy the CD version of BBC sessions. What would I have missed if I'd downloaded? One awesome insert by Steve Lamacq detailing each session, and some very surprising and hilarious antics that took place. Now a very important historical record of the band., as part of my treasured possessions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
