I still have Owl City to do to, and most of Rush's discog which is sure to be a ton of fun.

Cut over, all told, maybe 10 albums today?
Turns out, deadmau5 is on bandcamp which will make future iterations of me very happy.
This one is just glad to be able to have stuff so easily sourced.

HOWEVER
After doing some digging I found a very legit site that will sell you music and will let you download it in any format you want so I guess we're in business.
Which is good, I think its easily their best.

Their final album, Myth, far as I could tell was never released physically.
I have it on Amazon but Amazon does not let you download FLAC regardless of if you're Unlimited or not (they were offering a free trial so I was able to check).

Nevermind, parses kanji just fine. This must've been a recent change.
Either way I got a bunch of this done today. Might actually be halfway done now.

PowerAmp doesn't handle Kanji at all. Just makes a bunch of question marks. Not super useful.
Feels like something I should try poking the dev about.

I have XC3's OST on nine disks. Real and everything. Their future upon those melodies.
I'm gonna have to burn all that, translate it, and archive it so I won't have to do this again with them specifically, huh.

I will probably end up making two mistakes I won't easily walk away from.
Mark these words, it'll probably transpire and I'll hate doing them. But I will, in fact, still do them.

theres now 20gb of music on my phone and we're still not halfway there

Truly I say to you: I'm going to die.

It feels so weird to have something so accessible and yet so distant.
Whatever. 3/5 eventually on FLAC will have to suffice.

I own it on vinyl.
No way to play it. Not exactly sure how to "burn" a vinyl either but it always was a plan of mine as I have another vinyl that doesn't exist anywhere digitally.
I was going to get a record player during black friday but decided it was an impulse buy.

Also I am acquiring a hopefully faster external disk reader.
All of Rush's studio albums besides the first one will find themselves on my phone and if 2112 takes half an hour to shift I'm going to blow my head schmoove off.

I am not even half-way done with this but I am also learning I'm going to have to buy a bunch of CDs to do this right.
As it is I should've had Lord Hurons discography physically anyway. What kind of fan am I.
