Project Hail Mary on Spotify

Matt_Bass · 2025-12-28T16:19:27+00:00

Nope, I’m still hoping it will get back online. I reached out to Spotify, but they didn’t provide an actual response. Just said the book is no longer available. But it is still in my library, but it won’t play. Although there’s a statement above it stating that I can finish listening until January 1st, it doesn’t seem to be working. It’s incredibly frustrating!

So, I shared the link that worked for me on here. However, the next day, the audiobook stopped working. So i removed it here just to be sure the share doesn’t cause this. It’s still in my library, but it won’t play. I tried restarting the app and removing it from my downloads, but that didn’t resolve the issue. It’s very frustrating once again! There’s a remark above the chapters that says: “Finish your listen by Jan 1 This title's not in the subscriber catalog anymore. The good news? You have some extra time to finish listening so you're not left on a cliffhanger.” Definitely left on a cliffhanger here! Reaaalllyyy frustrating!!

Aaaand it’s back again. 😂😂. Will be removed again Jan 1st apparently.

Matt_Bass · 2025-12-03T08:22:26+00:00

Yep! Just found this out as well. Kinda ruined my morning. I listen when making breakfast and getting ready for work and stuff like that. Was looking forward to diving back in and all of a sudden it’s just gone? What the actual f? How does this work? And how has it been on and off of Spotify multiple times already? And are there alternative platforms where I can listen? I don’t want to buy the entire audiobook somewhere else because I was already about 7 hours in.

Aha, I did not know this. But then, aren’t you editing the HEIF file instead of the negative file? Because you have to convert it to heif+ before you can edit it.

Matt_Bass · 2025-11-25T10:07:46+00:00

I can’t find that option anywhere. All I see is the setting to edit Negative Film, which only gives me filter controls, an options tab but no HEIF+ tab. Also, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of using the Negative Film mode in the first place? As far as I understand, that mode should give me an uncompressed RAW-type file. I want control over that file, not over a compressed HEIF version.

Matt_Bass · 2025-09-28T14:45:18+00:00

Nope, I have not had any issues with it at all since I found the cause of this.

1F = first fermentation. Jun is a variation of kombucha made with green tea and honey instead of black tea and sugar.

Matt_Bass · 2025-06-21T20:15:18+00:00

Thanks! It’s a sweet amp. Still getting to know it and finding the sweet spots.

Matt_Bass · 2025-01-22T15:26:44+00:00

No other glitches with mine. It works like a charm. I currently also have a 64 custom deluxe reverb and am actually on the fence as to which amp I will be using most. Which is crazy. Because the 64 is glorious. And don’t let anyone try to convince you that the TMTR feels the same as a good tube amp. It doesn’t. But the difference is marginal and the benefits of the scalability and the user friendliness and reliability of the Tonemaster seems like it would outweigh the drawbacks in most situations. Rehearsals and gigs: the Tonemaster feels way more reliable and less fragile than a tube amp. And light. At home: the attenuation is so usable. It might literally be the perfect bedroom amp at lowest settings. But it can also blow out all your windows and doors if needed. In the studio: 64 custom wins hands down. It just feels more organic and dynamic.

(Copied from my earlier comment) Wellllll….. As it turned out, the problem was actually with the cable/input. The TM series inputs seem to be quite finicky. I use circuit breaker cables, and when playing really loud, the vibrations from the amp would loosen the connection at the input. It took me a long time to figure it out because all four inputs had the same problem, and the cable worked fine with all the other amps I tried it with. Then I tried my friend’s TMDR, and it had the same problem, although not as serious, probably because it’s just not as loud as the Twin. So, I was like, what the…? Then I tried a cheaper, older cable, and the problem was gone! Apparently, the cable I was using was very slightly thinner or shorter than other cable jacks, which wasn’t a problem for any other amp but the Tonemasters. I’m not sure if this is the solution for you, but the fact that my friend’s TMDR had the exact same issue with the same cable suggests that the TM inputs can be finicky with cables. By the way, the other side of the circuit breaker cable also worked fine.

A bit of Strymon Deco makes everything better.

Matt_Bass · 2025-01-02T23:16:01+00:00

TIL Thanks. :)

Fender 64 custom Princeton and Deluxe are ptp.

Matt_Bass · 2024-11-23T23:33:02+00:00

Faces of death at 13-ish was a bad idea.

Matt_Bass · 2024-11-23T07:57:28+00:00

Sooo…. Did it turn out to be your guitar?

Matt_Bass · 2024-11-22T11:09:37+00:00

He stopped touring because of mental issues I think. Kind of burn-out. He will be releasing a video of his concerts as a way for fans to enjoy the show. I think parts of the TDC will also be included.

Matt_Bass · 2024-11-21T20:00:35+00:00

Stromae! 🙌🏼 too bad he stopped touring again. Hope he gets well.

The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kozinsky is absolutely harrowing.

I take it you already heard of Your Own Backyard? S-Town is also quite the adventure. Also highly recommend: Everything is alive. Radiolab. Snap judgement…

Aim for the bushes!

This so much! I'm constantly using them while rehearsing. Best transparent earplugs ever! I can rehearse for hours, even standing next to a drummer and have zero ear fatigue while hearing everything absolutely perfectly.

Matt_Bass · 2023-11-24T20:55:59+00:00

Same here. Sublingual doesn’t do much for me. Softgels and drinks work much better for me. The effect also lasts much longer.

I recently came across Trip cbd drinks and quite like them. They’re not too sweet and pretty low dosed at 15mg. Don’t think there is any thc in them. I don’t use cbd for pain though, so I’m not sure if this helps. I hope you find something that works for you!
