the scream i scrumpt was so fucking loud πŸ’•πŸ’™πŸ’—πŸ©Ά

Theory going around, that the covers are hidden because Taylor is trying to fight signed CD fraud, by doing this no one will be able to forge her signature on a fake album.

Omg I got so excited that I bought the CD for this, Midnight (Moonstone Blue Edition), and Lovers (Standard) lol

I always get the CD! Call me paranoid but if Spotify ever shut down I always want to have my copies of Taylor

[–] ooo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, that’s some great reasoning β€” Spotify won’t last forever, while the CDs and digital files we own will remain with us

That's how I feel about a lot of stuff now, the first time it happened was when they took the office off of Netflix. For things I really care about like Taylor I want to make sure I have physical copies of, so they can never be taken down. (I then can stream them from my own services so they're just as convenient)

I do that but with digital albums

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends, I hate that her store only has mp3. If I buy digital, and for Taylor I usually just buy the CD, but for other artists I'll be a flac nerd

[–] bradr3d@fosstodon.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get flac from a CD? (My primitive understanding is that’s the highest quality possible?)

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get 16 bit flac ripped from a CD. 24 is the highest and can only purchased online because it doesn't fit on a CD, but you can use something like fairstars on windows or abcde on Linux to rip 16 bit. For me, the difference is pretty dang negligible then

i neeeeed these vault tracks!!

do you think it'll be a whole era with multiple music videos or ? πŸ‘€

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Speak now got a few music videos.. I'm really hoping we get at least a few for this one! All of the ones I'd want have already been done, I would have to assume a couple of the vault tracks! We'll probably get one in a couple weeks if it follows Speak Now

[–] gaytswiftfan@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

didn't speak now only have I can see you ? :o

Oh we only did get 1 for speak now! I feel like SNTV was kind of overlooked... no signed album, one MV.... and now into 1989
