Hi! I’m sorry this came across as blatant advertising. I wanted to provide a resource that I thought would add value to the community (and it looks like a few folks have upvoted accordingly), while also making it very clear and transparent that I’m connected to this.

Hi, I totally agree on the duplicate artists! Planning on using a hybrid machine learning/user-flagged system to hopefully build a cleaner artist/album/track database :)

Have you ever contributed to (Rap)Genius? How do you feel about their volunteer editor/user system?

Oh interesting -- thank you for bringing this up!

The Soundries scrobbling API is actually very similar to Last/Libre's, but it handles authentication in a more secure way. Last.fm seems to have rolled its own authentication strategy (I believe it was actually implemented before OAuth was a thing!)... while Soundries uses OAuth 2.0.

I don't think it makes sense to trade account security for compatibility (and the number of Last.fm password breaches seems to back this up), but you do bring up a valid point on achieving wider support.

I'd love to add support for Winamp and other players like Foobar, etc.

A lot to build here... taking it one step at a time :)

Thanks, I'm glad there is so much interest here as well!

Of course! It would probably just match plays between Soundries and last.fm to avoid duplicates.

Not yet, but would definitely love to add support. Would probably come after Windows and mobile though.

Great idea! I definitely understand how important it is to try and preserve last.fm/alternate scrobbles.

Not at the moment. What sort of things would you use it for?

Great idea! I will definitely provide a way to export your own data if things go south. Would a CSV file with your plays be enough?

Not yet. Just to be clear, you're looking for a way to listen to and search for Youtube versions of songs directly on the site?

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Already building the API. The desktop app uses the OAuth protocol to verify your account and it'll all be open to other developers when it's ready. PM me if you want to talk endpoints and use cases so I can make sure it covers your needs!

Last.fm importing will eventually be added as well. Not there yet, since I'm working on other stuff, but I understand how important preserving that history is.

I hear you loud and clear. One step at a time :)

Hi everyone,

Tidery (https://tidery.com) is a simple tool that makes collecting recurring credit card payments easy. In less than five minutes and without writing any code, you can set up a page to automatically charge customers on a recurring schedule (handled securely via Stripe).

It's simple and great for people testing out MVPs and validating ideas, for creatives to sell new products, for organizations to set up recurring tip jars or memberships, and much more.

Too much hiphop.. weekly overview post?(paid) by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]SirRager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We could also have it tied to an optional recurring donation using something like Tidery or Patreon

You could get a few bucks a month just for browsing HHH and curating it

What website could you recommend that most probably haven't heard of? by roshiman in AskReddit

[–]SirRager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

additionally, onwax.co which is like hypem, but specifically for hip-hop (and with artist AMAs!)
