Grey-Dee! (@DefGrady) reportedThere was a joke a LONGG while back on windo about a radio station, but i genuinely kinda want to see about making an online radio service. Something that old itunes can connect too, at least. But i feel like the amount of people who'd actually use it.. Low. but it could be fun!

smick 🍬 (@0xsmick) reported@grantdfindlay @ljin18 The issue is price. CDs no matter the quality are $10. iTunes tracks are $1. NFTs have an insane range and that range is always changing so anyone can see the possibility of buying low and selling high.

☽⛧☾༺ 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔞𝔫 𝔴𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 ༻☽⚧︎☾ (@LycanWitchcraft) reportedFalse. Music “purchased” through iTunes, you’re not buying the music itself, you’re buying a license to use the music. While it has the illusion of ownership, you don’t actually own it, ie you need to sign in and authorize your computer for the music files to work, you are limited to burning the songs to disc 7 times total, songs not downloaded or backed up can disappear if the content right holders pull their license with Apple, not allowed to sell or trade or anything beyond personal use with the music, etc.
