i neeeeed these vault tracks!!

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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
