  • Beatport, HDtracks, & Juno Download all look promising—they even have my relatively obscure 90s music!—thanks! 👍

    Of the two that you’ve had dealings with, do they let you download all the album tracks at once, or do they force you to download them one by one, or else, even worse, to use some special proprietary downloader thingy?

    EDIT: The other thing I didn’t like about 7digital was when they switched from their old payment system to PayPal; with all the various browser tweaks on FF I had in place, bouncing between the two sites to pay and then claim my purchase would frequently cause problems.



































  • I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

    Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

    and here:

    https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196

    I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

    In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

    @dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?
