Picked up a dedicated audio device recently (with another few on the way!), and it feels nice to curate my own offline, add-free, algorithm-free listening experience. Having music myself his been half the fun of this, I won't be using any streaming app going forward.

It is also super adorable:

    Oh man, wait until you're camping craigslist ads for used DAPs (Digital audio player, fancy speak for music player)... I got my DX180 for cheap there, then picked up some grados. Decent headphones and a good audio chip is some magic shit.

    How do you discover new artists? That is the main thing keeping me from doing this.

    Listen to the radio, read music news or listen to podcasts if you prefer, go to local music venues

    KEXP, Audiotree, Tiny Desk and more

    Plus the bands that open for the bands I like. Even if I don't go to the concert, I look up who's opening it.

    Thanks. I looked at a few of these. I think I have seen tiny desk before a long time ago. And I already found a new thing I like :)

    I've never really thought about looking up the openers for concerts that I don't go to. Great idea.
