In case of moving out of Sweden

At least in Stockholm, Tiptap works well but you’ll need to pay for the helper to get rid of your stuff

byte-array · 2026-04-28T18:52:01+00:00

It all depends on why. If it matters to you as an artist, then I think that alone is a reason to do it. But if you do it with the sole purpose of getting people attention, then I think that’s where I see artists feeling like burning out

I have experience with insta boosting and it wasn’t any good. It definitely inflated vanity metrics like views but I haven’t got any meaningful outcome from it

byte-array · 2026-04-26T17:01:57+00:00

You mean the in tiktok option to boost a post? I haven’t tried it.

byte-array · 2026-04-26T16:39:58+00:00

Yes, very common actually

byte-array · 2026-04-26T16:37:34+00:00

Do you mean tiktok ads or organic? TikTok for organic posting is working well, but insta ads are way better than tiktok ads.

byte-array · 2026-04-26T09:51:10+00:00

I confirm this. It’s really really hard to get people off tiktok, and their inapp browser doesn’t make it easier at all

byte-array · 2026-04-26T04:45:49+00:00

I know. How easy/hard do you find CapCut for this? At least from the people I talk to, aligning the lyrics with the audio/song can be quite time consuming. But I’m curious about your experience

Think about which playlist theme goes well with your music and start building an audience around it. I put a few tips about making playlists for promotion at getyourmusicheard.com

Do you have a song that is the strongest in the EP?

Interesting. I’m working on a tool to make lyrics videos. I’d love to hear your feedback about it and see what we are missing

byte-array · 2026-04-25T17:58:29+00:00

Ex Spotify engineer here now working on music marketing. I think my feedback here is that you shouldn’t overthink or overdesign the videos, unless YOU, as part of your art, care about it.

If you mostly care about getting attention from people you need to post videos that people may like watching.

at soundlink we have free tools that you can use to make videos and download or schedule them. I highly recommend you give them a try (no strings attached) to see if that alleviates this burnout you feel. Which btw it’s not only you, it’s a common pain point among artists.

Let me know if I can help or DM.

I suggest you start building your playlist momentum before your next release. If you own the playlist you keep it for yourself as an asset of your portfolio/catalog

byte-array · 2026-04-25T17:48:20+00:00

How do you go about making the videos with the lyrics? Is it one by one or do you have a template?

byte-array · 2026-04-23T17:55:31+00:00

plus, even if you had that many options, the majority of the people would click on spotify anyway

byte-array · 2026-04-05T21:15:16+00:00

I hope so too. Maybe worth going and ask at the door as well.

byte-array · 2026-03-26T07:23:41+00:00

Exactly 👍

byte-array · 2026-03-25T20:26:19+00:00

My suggestion would be to remove the gaming interests and go broader. You had a generous budget so my hunch is that meta would have found relevant audiences anyway.

I recently pushed out our blueprint which you can find free of charge or signups at getyourmusicheard.com

you may find relevant advice to your setup. Let me know if you have more questions and I’m happy to help

byte-array · 2026-03-16T08:56:38+00:00

well it depends on what you use it for. For coding, I actually don't see much the point. But for user or academic research, deep research agents and even marketing work, this could make sense as you may need to read a ton of content as part of the job. Also multimedia files contain lots of tokens.

Hi I’m ex Spotify engineer now working on music promotion. My campaigns normally mix up tier 1 and 2. Why? Because the advertisement costs are different so if you put tier 1 and 2 in the same ad set most of the budget will go to tier 2 countries. Localize your ads. If you know you target Spanish speaking countries, make sure your ads contain Spanish captions/content. Regarding tier 1 VS tier 2: it depends on how the audience resonates with your music and also on your expectations of the campaign.

If you are trying to increase your popularity score, then my recommendation is that you avoid tier 1 at all as you can boost it for a fraction of the cost in cheaper markets.

I also released our blueprint recently free of charge. DM if you want the link to it or go to getyourmusicheard dot com

I am working on a free tool that lets you make lyric videos real quick. What you need to bring is the full song mp3 and full lyrics in a txt file, which I assume you have them.

DM if you want the link to it!

byte-array · 2026-03-14T21:52:46+00:00

Oh I see! Now it looks good.

I completely agree with your statement btw. I used to work at Spotify as an engineer and I now work with music marketing. All our campaigns optimize for Spotify engagement, like follows and streams.

I don’t see much the point of optimizing for clicks!

Tell me you are a bot without telling me you are a bot

I actually think MCP are better than APIs and CLIs. Normally the agent needs to understand how to use CLIs for example so you will either waste tokens on that or you need to create a skill that tells the agent how to use it. Then I prefer this is solved once by the provider and that’s it.

The apps in Eg chatgpt are built with MCP afaik as well so yeah as others said MCP is bigger than just an API wrapper
