With the cash shortfall this represents, they will be able to produce only 30 new albums this year :(
only 30 new albums this year
wrap it up everyone, it’s over
good on them, wish more musicians had the guts to follow suit. i’ve been so disgusted by how “default” spotify has become when it comes to distribution and music discovery…
King Gizz simply can’t stop being the best currently active band what absolute lads
what do y’all recommend to listen to music? I like the apps, don’t particularly like spotify.
Edit - if anyone had the same question, I installed nuclear off github, it connects to online services to stream music on your devices. Working well so far! Not quite the same as Spotify in terms of functionality but it’s decent
For real, pirate your music, store it, back it up. So often music gets taken down and then you can’t get it anymore.
Otherwise, Bandcamp has streaming and if you do buy the music you get high quality files to download. They only take a 15% cut and give the rest to artists.
As far as pirating music goes, I recommend the P2P client Soulseek.
foobar2k and a big hard drive
and for mobile?
Foobar2000 has an andoid app that works a treat. You’d be hard pressed to find a mobile phone that doesnt have enough space to have a folder full of enough music to ocupy yourself.

in seriousness, I don’t know what to recommend on mobile. I’m using gonemad media player classic from 10 years ago because my phone is old and I don’t like exploring new apps
Poweramp is pretty good, although it’s not free (maybe there’s limited functionality for free, can’t remember).
Soundcloud dj sets.
Anyone here use jellyfin for streaming music? Would be neat if we could have something like jellyfin or plex and use it to share music libraries and whatnot. I’ve used plex in the past, which you have to pay a monthly fee to stream to friends, but I haven’t tried jellyfin.
navidrome is better for music, cause it has corresponding apps to download stuff on phone, and web thingy is more music oriented
(the only bad thingy - it doesn’t handle fullrips with .cues gracefully, so have to manually split them up)
jellyfin also has many apps to steam music both on desktop or on mobile. finamp is available for mobile and is very good, supports downloads, transcoding, lyrics etc
i didn’t like finamp design at the time, but what others?
finamp is about to release their redesign which is really nice imo. on desktop feishin is a very good option. I used to use Gelli on Android, there are others I haven’t looked in a while tbh
on desktop i can plug music bee on remote folder, so not that problematic tbh. gotta try redesign when they finish it
Can you set up auto request/download with Navidrome? I was reading that Jellyfin + Symfomium works pretty well for music but I have little experience with either.
dunno about auto, probably varies app by app, amperfly which i use has sync whole library or manually select what you need (although, handling of uncached songs is very meh). symfomium works on subsonic according to splash page (which is what navidrome is broadcasting), so that’s kinda irrelevant, it will work with it. This is exactly the reason i use it, it uses open standard (airsonic/subsonic) many people are implementing/using, while jellyfin just does jelly stuff.
While extremely great for movies/tv, where it’s only game in town, handling of audiobooks, music, photos are done better elsewhere, i think. Although it does them well, just other programs do it nicer in some aspects.
I always knew they were good lads
woe betide spotify i am always saying this
jamie stewart’s interview with melonboy was quite good.
