That sounds great in theory, but the thing I haven't been able to replace is seamless discovery.
I would have trouble finding new music without torrent sites. The trackers I use have a web of related artists at the bottom of the artist page.
The users add to the community through comments, uploads, suggestions, organizing, et cetera.
Using a tracker has helped me discover music that ain't even on Spotify. It's the tits!
There's many blogs where you can discover music and unlike algorithms you get more diversity and nice descriptions. If you listen to a lot of hip hop it's even easier by looking the featured artists
Spotify does a phenomenal job of learning what I like and auto-playing a mix of things after I finish a song or album that aren't just in the same genre but are also based on my taste profile that's developed over hours of listening habits -- all with zero effort on my part. And I can still discover things via blogs too.
There just isn't anything like that available in the self-hosted world yet, unfortunately.
Lol sure. I discover all my songs from torrents.
What?
Download a torrent such as this
https://www.1377x.to/torrent/5812280/Various-Artists-Love-At-First-Sight-Soundtrack-from-the-Netflix-Film-2023-16Bit-44-1kHz-FLAC-PMEDIA/
and then I listen and keep the one's that I like kinda like Spotify discover lol but oldskool
That sounds cumbersome as hell.
I want my song to end and my player to start automatically playing similar songs that are also curated based on my larger listening habits.
That's why they take your money and data to keep a beautiful profile on you and sell it to 3rd party. You pay a premium for your liking both by money and data..Enjoy mate!
Yup, I'm paying for a data driven service that isn't possible to host myself. Good job piecing that one together, champ!
Sure thing! Always here to help in anyway possible. To get the best experience from Spotify please try their premium family subscription. They add extra goodies in it and won't track you at all. Also don't pay for an year upfront, pay on a month by month basis that way you get more features.
Lol go give Meta more data through Instagram while acting smug about privacy.
Always cute watching kiddos reach that first peak on the Dunning-Kruger curve.
Hey i am willing to give my data to meta in exchange to watch dumb naked bitches and to rub one out when I am at work. At least I am not paying with real money so thats a plus.
And there it is. Enjoy giving your data to a company proven to mishandle it so you can keep simping.
How pathetic.
I dont practice what I preach because "Women" is my weakness. Bro which app do you use to scroll through Lemmy? I got a notification of your reply but was really hard to find it.
