I am trying to work smarter rather than work harder. AG allowed music hunting with minimal time and effort and ever since its fall nothing has arrived to replace that functionality, or if something has then nobody bothered to mention it in that thread despite me clearly asking.
There just isnt enough time in my day to scour sites for news and waste time with the trial and error approach of listening and deleting, not to mention the time required to find people on soulseek who have the files I want and waiting through the queues, I am lucky if I can even leave my network connection in long enough to get through the queues before I have to unplug the laptop and go do something else.
Some people cannot sit in front of their computer for 4 hours a day and scour the web for songs, I on the computer at work for about 8 hours a day and when I get home I get friggin sick of it, and I am not allowed to look up music while I am working because most of the sites are blocked(but I am allowed to chat on message boards)
That other thread was my attempt to figure out how other kids can manage to deal with those factors. I know that there are university students here, I know there are other kids who work 40 hours a week, yet alot of them still seem to have enough time and money to travel all over the country and accumulate massive song collections. Therefore there has to be ways to travel that require very little money, and ways to find music that require very little time. But nobody will release the friggin info. |
Well then, I really question your passion for EDM and the importance of music in your life. You seem to want the easy way out and for this whole entire scene and all its knowledge to come knocking on your backdoor simply because "you don't have time" and unfortunately since dance music is not mainstream in this country, chances are it is not going to find you. You must find it to a certain extent. Honestly, if I would have thought like that, I'd still be listening to hip-hop and r&b like I used to because the above is just not all that plausible. If you really want to know more, you'll find a way to go about it, even if your time is limited. Any person who is into something deeply will tell you that. I think you are just a casual music listener and unless you want to free some time to pursue your musical interests further, then that is all you'll be.
If you have other priorities, fine, I do too. I also attend college and have a job as well, but I think it really depends on how much you want it and if you are willing to take the time to explore on your own. You can call my information useless all you want, but then please quit whining because of those on this board who actually put in the time, energy, and effort to learn and gain more knowledge. If you think my post stressed working harder as opposed to smarter, then I think that is your main problem because I have never viewed my passion for music as something that is going to get in the way and cause a great deal of conflict with my other routines. Maybe that is how you feel, I don't know, but music is something fun and very special to me (hell, I'm a music marketing major), so I almost demand to expand my frame of reference in search of new and different music.
Oh well, to each their own though and with that said, you may find you will have to answer some of your own questions and really think about how you yourself need to go about finding music on your own. I gave you the internet idea, which is probably one of the best and richest ways to surround yourself in musical knowledge, but you obviously have shot that explanation down and have no attempts to even consider doing what I wrote before. You have to want it and it does seem like you truthfully want to, but since you think a person needs to spend 4 or more hours a day searching for music (which is an absurd assumtion), I don't know what else to tell you. IMO, you are turning a mountain into a molehill and making this harder than it has to be.
