The Algorithm Failed Music
An anonymous reader shares a report: Spotify is the most popular music streaming service in the world. While its algorithmic recommendations aren’t necessarily the reason, its reach has meant that hundreds of millions of people are being fed a steady diet of music curated by a machine. Spotify’s goal is to keep you listening no matter what. In her book Mood Machine, journalist Liz Pelly recounts a story told to … ⌘ Read more

I have recently been made painfully aware of how small is the lifespan of an #USB #stick. Have been thinking about it since (and, in particular, how bad an investment is a big-storage thumb drive, taking that into account)… and also about how much worse does this make me feel about the new tendency of having movies and music being sold in USB sticks instead of the ‘old physical formats’ (yes DVDs and CDs don’t have a great lifespan either, but in comparison…)

** Fall foliage, music, games, and text editors **
Turning to fall. While playing a little squash this morning one of the pros that hangs out at the courts asked if he could give me and one of my kids some tips.

Sam Whited: 2025-09-30 Trolley Barn Contra Post Mortem
The first time I DJed for a Contra Dance1 was at Inman Park’s
famous Trolley Barn.
At the time I was DJing in the way other social dances are normally DJed: I had
a laptop, I played a song, everyone danced.
No fancy mixing, or effects: the most technical thing I did was loop 32 bar
sections of music to stretch it out until the caller was ready to end the dance.
This time around, returning to … ⌘ Read more

My music listening is inconsistent. I don’t listen to much music, sometimes weeks without any music streaming at all. And when I do, I often listen to some automatic playlists with recommendations from YouTube. I don’t have any specific artists I always listen too. Furthermore, I don’t even have a specific genre I like the most, often it’s something electronic. ⌘ Read more

Wanna read something very scary?
⤋ Read More
@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:
The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.
This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.
If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣
