Yes! Absolutely full of viruses! That is why I got pretty good using Linux OS. Make a copy of the OS using Clonezilla, if it got infected then destroy and recreate. Those were the days!

Music streaming that doesn’t use data? That’s an oxymoron, unless you are streaming local content over you home network.

That said, the free Spotify subscription is pretty solid - there’s the eventual ad in between some songs and you can’t download, but that’s the price you pay. There are other streaming apps with free legal options, but Spotify is by far the best. If you can, though, paying the subscription is way worth it. Have you family sign in together and get a family subscription, 15 bucks for up to six people.

It’s not complicated. This is my own work, scripts.

Admittedly I have been programming since 1979. Oh how I do never miss machine code. I was probably dreaming in hexadecimal in the 80s.

You guys may see adverts. I don’t :slight_smile:

LINUX!!! What else! :heart_eyes:
There is no need to use other OS.

Yeah I used ASCII and EBCDIC on VAX VMS and IBM MVS.

Kids these days…

But back to the point - the free music streaming problem:

  • free. Well you have to legally own the music. So saw you bought a CD, you can “rip” it to MP3 and that’s legal. The problem was it was too often (mostly) distributed (copied) so became illegal, so the streaming services arose as the way for the content creators “musicians” to protect their content. Hence iTunes, etc.
  • music. Well that’s all subjective.
  • streaming. Well you can copy the mp3 to a media player and practically anything.

What the 2018 version is:

  • it is never free, you do not really own it, you pay for right to use under conditions from the streaming service
  • music. Still subjective
  • streaming - I think the streaming part is due to the fact you do not really own the music, you paid for it through a service and that service wants to stop you copying it, hence streaming.

But so long as its something you can buy, and its a neutral format, you can use some old technology.

Classic album.

A little FYI… When making tubular bells, Mike Oldfield couldn’t play the keyboard, and every note was done ONE FINGER at a time!

Yes I watched his interview on Blue Peter at the time.

There are tools like DRmare Music Converter for Spotify, online music converter, etc. that can help get music free offline. If you are interested in it, you could learn more of them on Google. Hope it will help.

As far as I know, there is no music streaming free offline app. However, you can download songs for offline listening when connecting with WIFI. You can create a Spotify free account, and collect the songs you like. Then Spotify Music Unlocker can help you download the songs to MP3 format. After downloading the songs to your storage, you can listen to them offline.
