07.17.21 | I think apple music has a much better UI and it pays artists more per stream |

07.17.21 | LMAO it's always on the consumer to foot the bill for the artist eh? Fucking Jesus I am not gonna pay all that money to own each song. Whether spotify pays em right or not ain't my fucking problem. I could never afford 80% of the music I listen to were it not for spotify. But fuck the poors right?
Nobody on the street gives a shit about your stupid, pretentious view of "art". They want to listen to the latest bangers and move on with their day. Imagine giving this much of a shit about a site you have made it clear you don't listen to. If these artists want better pay go somewhere else or deal with it. Nobody is holding a gun to the artists head to sign the fucking contract. If that prevents you from making serious money from music, then go do a different fucking job or something, stop trying to force us consumers to foot your bill because you were too inbred to make a smart contracting decision.
Y'all are acting like a bunch of fucking children over a generic streaming site. Imagine being this much of a braindead, attention deficit, shitweed that you spend your time bitching and moaning about the "art" of music in comparison to streaming. Art is a dumb blanket term used by fart sniffing "intellectuals" to give certain works some semblance of academic worth that doesn't exist.
Get yer heads outta your asses. This stupid type of shit is why this site is becoming harder and harder to stick around with. Holy fucking shit this is the dumbest fucking thread I have seen in awhile and nol is 100% correct. It is not our fucking responsibility to give a fuck about a bunch of attention whoring 20 somethings whose only sense of validation comes from their instagram follow count and their spotify view charts. |

07.17.21 | i use apple music and on phone its pretty shit but on computer its nice cause your saved albums go into itunes so you can mix it with your downloaded stuff seamlessly and change titles of stuff to your liking which is super useful |

07.17.21 | Dislike Spotify but won't lie, after actually subscribing, it's just too easy and convenient.
I hate that it has made me listen to full albums less as a result though and made me interact with music on personal level more.
I used to read every track whilst downloading them, listen carefully and know exactly what each sounds like and their name. Now if a song is in the middle of the album, I'd have likely forgotten about it cos I just press the play button on the album and don't look back
Mp3 players were the peak imo |

07.17.21 | Not really Spotify's fault specifically, but I think one of the probles is it makes music disposable. Actually investing money and time into going to a music store, making a choice about something, then taking it home and devoting your full attention to listening to it while flipping through the insert was part of what made music a viscerally memorable experience for me.
These days it's pretty rare for me to be able to devote my entire attention to an album the same way, unless I'm commuting and have nothing else to do. |

07.17.21 | Spotify could really user a better UI for their desktop app, I will say that much |
Kompys2000
07.17.21 | I only use it to compile playlists for my pgty lists but yeah the desktop app is so poorly-optimized I just gave up and switched to the web app |
Colton
07.17.21 | so you have spotify |

07.17.21 | Yes
Almost as though
I actually have a basis for saying I dislike it |

07.18.21 | Spotify has allowed me to discover new artists, which I then promote on here.
So I should be getting paid half the bands royalties.

07.18.21 | Thanks for listening to Spotify
No, really
You could've listened to the radio
You could've spun some vinyl
You could've played a cassette tape
You could've listened to an eight track tape, if you knew what an eight track tape looked like
But you listened to Spotify
Thanks for that
And you still have hundreds of more playlists to enjoy |

I googled "snakes" to see if there was something clever i could call Snake, and I discovered that there's this really WEIRD cousin of snakes called Amphisbaenia (not to be confused with amphibians) that are like pink fleshy snakes with little arms

07.18.21 | 1. Downloading from Soulseek
2. Sorting it and editing it by yourself with stuff like adding artwork
3. Playing it on MusicBee
That's how you're supposed to do it |

07.18.21 | is soulseek private? I've heard about it for at least a number of years now... why haven't I used it? |

07.18.21 | Spotify sucks
Youtube Music is where it's at. 10$ and it has pretty much anything and almost everything. Even the most obscure shit possible.
'lol ive said it before in a thread of his but drinking game: take a shot every time caliggy says the word "fucking"'
I've always had a bad mouth, awhile back I tried to tone it down but then I realized I didn't care and stopped.

07.18.21 | you're objectively still getting more money through Spotify than through piracy. is it good enough? not really, but as a musician i'd rather earn one penny than zero. |

i also view money as kind of a thing that should eventually be done away with, much like capitalism as a whole |
twlight
07.18.21 | I'm listening to vinyl right now. And I totally understand your frustrations. Spotify pays fractions of a penny to artists per play. It isn't correct or empathetic |

SAPoodle
07.18.21 | Or we could just use Spotify and then support the artists we like by buying their CDs/vinyls/music on Bandcamp, going to their shows, and buying their merch. I mean, previously most of us just pirated the music and the artist got absolutely nothing. Do I think Spotify should pay their artists more? Absolutely. And that's why I'll do what I can to support those artists I really like. Spotify has introduced me to so much music I would never have listened to previously and so in that sense some artists have got money from me they wouldn't have previously. I do agree, though, that by using Spotify we're complicit in allowing them to continue paying fuck all to their artists but unfortunately there's not much way around that. As far as I know, Apple Music doesn't pay thaaat much more anyway. |
SAPoodle
07.18.21 | Also, I still think Bandcamp has the most potential. If Bandcamp had a streaming service like Spotify's, with playlists etc. and after x amount of streams you had to purchase the album to keep listening, I'd be down with that and probably switch over. But then again, your average Spotify user probably wouldn't switch anyway. |

agreed that spotify can show listeners artists they may never hear of before
.
but every play off that platform should be more than .00001 penny$$
lets bring it up to 1 penny per play and i would be happy |
