@poetgrant iPhone are for people who don't want to access the file system. They take the phone use it and that's it.
@tursiops interesting... my mother wanted me to help get an mp3 file on her phone as a ringtone and I am just now realizing that I can't without maybe iTunes? Even then... I just don't understand. Why can't I just access the onboard storage device?
@poetgrant @tursiops yeah, you would do it through iTunes, or put it online somewhere and download it to the device.
I donāt put any music on my iPhone (do people actually still do that?) between Spotify, google music and Apple Music, I donāt see the need. Personally I use Spotify.
@kev @poetgrant personally I use my own plex server so no need for me either
@tursiops @poetgrant I used to do the same thing from my Synology. I soon learned that Spotify was way better though.
@kev @poetgrant well I have a lot of really obscure songs and artists that I don't think any streaming service would have. Also I don't want to suddenly realize that I cannot listen to someone because it's been pulled from the catalog. I also use plex for my movies and series so it's quite convenient.
@kev @tursiops @poetgrant
I have an extensive library of ripped CDs and purchased MP3 files that I like to keep on an SD card on my phone. I listen to several music podcasts for newer music, and I subscribe to Amazon Music to check out new releases that I might want to pick up.
But I'm also one of those weirdos that prefers an audio jack and wired headphones, too. YMMV šš§šµš¶
