You mean to tell me GTA being in the news made someone think of a funny pic featuring GTA?

can ,

Really? They're kind a third of the price here.

or as I've recently taken to calling it

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

the largest music licensing platform in the world

Doesn't sound too good to me. Bandcamp used to be where I could get music from smaller artists who couldn't afford clearing samples (as they weren't making money) and I worry a lot of that will be lost.

can ,

Well better than Spotify is a real low bar. I'm on an apple music family plan and I like it but if I weren't I'd probably get tidal. And they actually dropped the épicé of their high quality tier.

can ,

That's another big one to me too. I opened Spotify recently and you can plainly see the music is no longer the focus.

can ,

Here's a link with more info

Tidal will no longer keep its high-res, lossless and spatial audio content locked behind a £20/$20-per-month “HiFi Plus” subscription. Instead, it is now moved into a single individual user plan, costing a lower-cost, Spotify-matching £11/$11 per month.

Previously, users paid that price for CD-quality FLAC files, but needed to opt for the pricier plan to unlock 24-bit/192kHz tracks and Dolby Atmos content.

That's now all changed as of 10th April, which saw the new £11/$11 per month plan implemented.

And specifically to your point

This price drop only puts further pressure on Spotify to improve the quality of its catalogue, which is currently capped at 320kbps in its Premium tier, and has no native support for spatial audio tracks.

That alone should be enough to get people considering other options. I'm sure there's more beyond the big three too.

can ,

How much do they really care? I'm not usually a quality snob, especially since I frequently use gear of varying quality making it moot, but wouldn't most people who are really into music at least consider the competition that offers higher quality files at similar if not the same price?

Or are they the type to only have local FLAC with their DAC? Because I like my collection but streaming is still worth the convenience for jumping into a new album.

can ,

That's how it always begins.

But on a more positive note, care to share the label or more about your experience about it? With regards to Bandcamp and more generally.

can ,

Believe I've gone down a similar path. I agree, but I assumed the layman dedicated music fan would at least be curious.

And on another note we need more discussion music and audio production around Lemmy.

can ,

Everyone on Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole should be aware of this pattern. I just hope something can fill in before it gets too bad.

I'm keeping an eye on Faircamp.

There'd a lot to unpack here

They pay the artist more. And I like how they handle interacting with collaborative works.

can ,

That's true. I still use Bandcamp. But as someone who listens to a lot of rap when I'm on a track and "view artist" I appreciate Tidal allowing me to choose which artist. Apple music defaults to the firs listed artist.

can ,

I've always seen it classed as a more of a dissociative. If it were actually in the same class as shrooms and LSD then I'd have tried it by now.

can ,

Maybe you can ask one of your human friends to help?

can ,

Why are you this way?

Just why?

can ,

So there's no room for improvement then? Because I really don't think it's as accessible as other nations and your ability to heal shouldn't depend on your job.

can ,

Damn, that sounds nice. Medication is one area where we still get fucked in Canada.

can OP ,

Wikipedia link for backstory

Also the commenter made this song you may have heard of

can OP , (edited )

Kendrick Lamar and Drake, they pretty big rappers, you may have heard of them.

They are presently releasing disses back and forth (tracks attacking the other). The screenshot above is from the latest Kendrick released, which goes into further detail of how Drake is a groomer.

Edit: Drake responded less than an hour ago.

can OP ,

We'll probably have to wait for it to be over first but there's this.

But it's more than likes, Drake is a predator and bad for the culture

can OP ,

It's hard to answer because Drake groomer stuff been talked about for years now. He texted Millie bobby Brown about "boys" when she was a teen. I'm not the best person to ask but I can try.

can OP ,

Regarding your edit, it's actively transpiring as we speak. Drake responded with another track less than an hour ago. Wait for the dust to settle and I'm sure there will be more authoritative sources documenting it.

can OP ,

I still have catching up to do. Which track goes into the R Kelly stuff?

can OP ,

Aubrey Drake Graham if you were wondering about "meet the grahams" too.

can OP ,

I don't really find my taste in music and government need to have anything to do with each other.

can OP ,

There is that layer but I'm not that invested into it. I just like the music and rappers can get motivated by it.

Kendrick just released a couple tracks that probably ended it
