If I want to make a mixtape and don't want to sail the seven seas to do it, what's the best way these days? Spotify playlist and then burn it to CD?They've got that 3-months for $0.99 deal they always seem to do at the end of the year, so it'd be way more affordable than buying every track individually on Google Play or something.

@ink_slinger Genuinely, I have to recommend you stay away from spotify. I 'tested it' 2 years or so ago and I am full entrapped now.I feel like I can't drop it because so much of my music is tied up into it and it's so easy to find music, manage the library and build playlists.It's like the palantir of music. It's too tempting and the power is too great. You must resistSeriously don't do it.

@OmnaBrain I'm generally opposed to streaming subscriptions and prefer to just buy the music I want but, in this case it seems so convenient (I'm making someone else a CD for Christmas and don't already own most of the songs I'd want).

@OmnaBrain @ink_slinger I hate it because I don't have an account and people try to share music with me and I just straight-up can't listen to it, OR EVEN SEE THE FULL TRACK NAME TO SEARCH FOR IT OTHER PLACES RJLERUOIERWOIUAhem

@OmnaBrain @ink_slinger What I meant to say is, OmnaBrain is right, Spotify is pretty much the walking definition of a walled garden.

@emsenn @OmnaBrain For sure. This would, according to the plan, be a temporary subscription that I'd cancel pretty quickly. But I can definitely see how easy it would be to get "trapped" once you've been using the service for a while.

@ink_slinger @OmnaBrain Yeah I realize that's what you said but this is the only place I've felt comfortable complaining about Spotify because anywhere else I'd get asked why I don't have an account and then be called either weird or looped into some pointless convo about software ethics.

@emsenn @OmnaBrain Fair. I have an account, but not a paid one because fuck that, basically.

@ink_slingerI haven't used the service but I don't think burning or copying music from the service will be straightforward. As I understand it the music you aquire through the service can only be played through their apps. Keeping / making a recording for a cd or other player probably doesn't go with their usage plan and licensing. I'd look into that anyway.

@Trussell That seems likely. I have some coworkers who make Spotify playlists for the office, and occasionally make CD versions of the same, so I should ask them how they do it.

@ink_slinger technically i think ripping from spotify is still considered piracy so
