I want two things: a shitload of music, and an awesome way to manage a personal library of favorites.
WinAmp nailed this 30 years ago, fuck off with the big touch target negative space design and broken search, forget podcasts, audio books, blablabla.
It really did whip the llama’s ass.
Navidrome, your choice of client. Gives you your music on all your devices.
Tidal has the option to automatically filter out AI songs btw.
and Qobuz prohibits AI songs completely.
At this rate, I am more likely to cancel my payments to them enitrely
Do it! There are plenty of open source alternatives, like Bandcamp, Deezer, etc.
I don’t think either of those are open source.
bittorrent sure is
Seeker is the P2P music platform you’re looking for.
I think you meant Soulseek (or Nicotine for linux).
Do you have a link. I’m finding a handful or music things called seeker.
My bad. seeker is the android client. soulseek is the name of the network it taps into. i don’t have any links for you.
Abso-fucking-lutely not
Someone posted a video for a song the other day and I thought it sounded pretty good. Then I found it on Spotify and saw the credits showed it was composed with GenAI. The fact it did actually have a real human singer threw me off because I could feel something from it, which I don’t with 100% AI music. Bummed me right the fuck out.
I’m a musician. Music is a really big part of my life. I like weird music. I’m up to date on the latest AI audio models.
I’ve been tricked multiple times already. I can no longer tell something is AI generated music or not just from listening to it.
I really, really don’t like that.
Those spotify execs really have their finger on the pulse. Their grotesquely huge bonuses grew three times that day. /s
Earlier this summer, the company rolled out a new feature called “Talk to Spotify,” allowing Premium users to interact with the platform more conversationally via a chatbot interface.
“I feel like Spotify is coming alive, and you can literally start talking to it,” Söderström said.
The level of delusion is phenomenal.
My $BRAND has a voice now, and you must worship it
I don’t care for “celebrities” but I like my music human.
Just like I like my women. And coffee.
I’m so glad the stock tanked as a very direct result.
I’m also glad I ditched them after they started letting ICEatzgruppen run ads on their platform.
Of course they do. That way they don’t have to pay any musicians. Just flood the entire platform with slop.
