i was really hyped with the google music concept when it launched. being able to get it to match my library and make it available to stream along with new music was such a dope concept to me. if their app didnt suck i would still be on it. i dont understand why they limit how many songs a playlist can have, i liked being able to buy an album from the play store and being able to instantly have it in my rotation.

i ended up switching to a different app where i could control my playlists better but then i have to download the albums i bought onto a pc then load them on my phone. i usually just end up downloading an illegal copy directly on my phone even though i bought the album just cuz its easier.

im moving away from this. i used to do this and was so set in keeping it going but im just into building a giant playlist now that includes all my favorite music regardless of genre or release date

probably how i listen to the most new music but rarely feel the need to find out what song it is cuz i dont like most of it

i feel like the "music industry" is starting to figure out this digital age after 20 years. curious to see how it keeps evolving
