>This does not even rise to high school level discourse.

I am asking basic questions because I do not see basic answers which are consistent with logic. It would be more useful and helpful to provide those answers if you know them of course.

>All of the points you bring up have been discussed more critically and insightfully on Body building forums.

Unfortunately in practice it is hard to observe impressive results of "what was discussed more critically and insightfully". So again perhaps sharing their line of thoughts would be useful.

My concern of course that "what was discussed more critically and insightfully" did not produce something logically consistent and that might explain why we do not see actual answers.

>I’ll start with that you seem to be hung up on that the only thing money can be exchanged for is property.

If we put aside "hung up on that the only thing money can be exchanged for is property" part which is irrelevant then probably we can see the real answer to the question : What one actually gets for his money and what is purchased when one "buys" some mp3?

Hey lovelyviking. I just wanted to say that you are right, and I agree with you.

The problem is that we are actually living in a medieval type of society. A pretty dark time actually. We have many people who enjoy exercising power over others. The trouble is that we think we are more advanced than we actually are.

We need to progress emotionally, spiritually, morally, and in our understanding of the natural world (physics: our reality). We need a new rennaissance, an enlightenment. To get there, we need clarity of thought from people like yourself who are unafraid to speak up and challenge the status quo.

keep shining your light and speaking your truth. Ignore the naysayers.

onwards.

Thanks a lot for your kind words! Sometimes naysayers are overwhelming and in those days your words are even more precious. I'll read them again especially in some gray days. Thank you a lot for taking time to support my spiritual powers).

Thanks for the info. Next time I want to know what Amazon means when they sell me "MP3 Music", I will remember to go to body building forums before clicking "Buy"

Amazon does provide the MP3 files themselves.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...

They surely make it difficult to find, though.

I used to be able to actually buy MP3s from Amazon US. I actually have bought and downloaded a few albums this way.

Then they launched Amazon Music (or whatever its name is) in my country, which only provides app-based access to music, and also took away my ability to buy MP3s from the US website and neglected to add it to my country's version of Amazon.

I tried to follow those convoluted instructions to no avail. Did it not like my Linux box? Who knows. But a company that made its fortunes making buying convenient should know better.

Your comment isn’t consistent with what you replied to. They said the discourse is better than that comment. Taking that to consulting the forums to know what Amazon means appears to not be a good faith response.
