Amazon bloody music. Every so often I get offers to subscribe, this time I did. I've already cancelled.
Back in the pre-digital past, I used to get on a bus and ride 3 miles to Dewsbury, and walk into J W Thornes music shop with 50p burning a hole in my pocket. I'd exchange this 7 sided token for 7 inches of vinyl, (no) ride back home (no shops in Mirfield sold records back then) and slap said vinyl on the deck of the Fidelity mono portable record player. The strains of Sweet, T Rex, Geordie, Bowie filled the bedroom. When my parents were out I could play the same records on their pride and joy PYE stereogram in the living room. I could even take it round to my mate's house and spin it up on his ITT Music Centre.
In short, buy music, own it, play it wherever on whatever player.
Amazon will let me have music, but only listen to it through their bloody app. My Garmin gps has no such app. Nor does my tv, my Denon music player or my kitchen radio / music player. Bloody useless.
Unless..... Is there a way to circumvent the Amazon app and convert said music to usable mp3, flac or other lossless files? Are any of you using conversion techniques, authorised or not, to temp me back to the land of Bezos?
