Like it or not, YouTube is now the greatest repository of vintage music that ever existed and it is free! Just put in any musical style and it will come up on YT. I started my VictrolaJazz channel in 2009 and by 2020 had over 90% of my collection on it. I had over 1,000 subscribers at the end, but only about five active. I started a new channel with the name I wish I had used to begin with, JazzVictrola, before someone else got and am going back through and uploading records that haven't been heard in 10-12 years or by my current clique of subs who live in Old Mexico, Australia, Great Britain and of course the US. Virtually every day I'll get a comment on a record I posted eight or nine years ago on the original channel. My subs also upload their own collections, so it makes for a great association!
I don’t watch TV anymore, just YouTube videos on my Roku.
Each of us probably has YouTube on our computer.
For fuck sake
You are going to lose your “readers” with worthless content like this
How do I "get" youtube on my computer?

Way back in 97 I got my first computer and started toiling on it to learn it's mysterious wicked ways.
My first pc was this running MS Dos
My first PC was an AT&T Globalist Pentium 120 Mhz and a whopping 4 megs of ram. I upgraded to the maxed out 16 megs, and a 1.8 gig hard drive.
a whopping 4 megs of ram.
With a dot matrix printer it set me back almost $1,500. That was real money back in 1983.
Any one remember "segment, offset" addressing in the early PC's?
I have you all beat.
Commodore SX-64. A C-64 that was portable with a 5inch color screen. No battery though, you had to plug in in. Lots of use by businesses.
The idea of staring into a CRT monitor for hours gives me a headache and makes my eyes hurt.
I remember those. They aren't 100% compatible with the C=64.

Believe it or not, I held up fine on CRT's. My eyesight went bad, when I started using a Laptop as my primary computing device. In just one year, went from 20/20 to needing reading glasses. I think the CRT forces you to give your eyes a rest, where as the LCD, LED screens, you don't realize eye fatigue as quickly as I did with CRT monitors. Can spend a solid 6 hours straight staring a screen writing and debugging code often. On a CRT screen I needed a break every hour or so.

Actually, the SX64 IS a C64 in every way, including the cartridges. You may be thinking the Commodore 128 in C64 mode.
Also, if you're watching from the youtube.com website, please add a script blocker (to prevent at least some of Google's tracking) and advertisement blocker (to prevent you from being annoyed) to your browser.
My first computer i bought at discount auction. It was something akin to a Mac 5200 CD series with 500 Mb hard drive, 14 modem, and 8 Ram. That was in 1996. It was worth learning because I later set up my office in just a few days, including ethernet networking, printing, etc. with cheap macs (Filemaker Pro) a few years later.
Right there, I began to see that if one is patient and persistent, YouTube is a treasure trove with almost limitless possibilities. Please take the time to do some serious exploring. There are some wonderful surprises there.
