Wait... so can you not access the file system on an iOS device? How do you transfer music and stuff? Like real FLAC files and stuff... wait... you don't have an SD card port?How do you people use iPhones?

@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 don’t put any music on my iPhone (do people actually still do that?) between Spotify, google music and Apple Music, I don’t see the need. Personally I use Spotify.

@xj9 @tursiops @poetgrant Spotify provides a great service that I’m happy to pay for. I’m glad Kodi works for you though.

@poetgrant iPhones aren't for your use case. They are restricted mobile computer terminals purpose built to be the user interface for a set of services curated by Apple and delivered by the cloud (present day mainframe systems essentially). The iPhone's storage is meant for the client access software and its data cache and thus is too much user access is deemed risky.Terminals accessing mainframe timeshare systems in the 1970s didn't have an accessible file system so why would they now?

@kev @poetgrant @tursiops Haha, yes people still do that. You know, control and ownership and all that. The streaming services are certainly convenient but a content deal going south is all it takes for your favorite band's songs to disappear in the blink of an eye. Plus that can add up pretty quickly if you have to subscribe to multiple streaming services to get what you want.Also, some of us have a pretty through digital music collection that we've built up and curated over time.

@rob @poetgrant @xj9 @tursiops each to their own. Personally I’ve always found that mentality a little naive. I tend to go with whatever I think is best for the job, FOSS, proprietary, whichever.Plus, I’m sure you’ve probably bought a game or something at one point. 😊
