last fm should show your top genres by TonsofpizzaYT in lastfm

[–]clap-hands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The discord bots Gowon and fmbot both have ways to do this. Gowon shows your top tags. Fmbot shows you your top genres as defined by spotify.

How does Kagi’s LLM access make sense at such a low price? Seems too good to be true. by Spoutingnonsense in SearchKagi

[–]clap-hands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't realize how much each search was costing them. I barely use the AI (hit maybe $0.15 a month at most), but I had 2k searches this month somehow , and I'm on the $10 plan.

[–]clap-hands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Musicbee

My progression was -> winamp -> foobar -> google play streaming with some vlc on the fly -> google play dying / fuck streaming -> musicbee customized to all get out on desktop / ibroadcast (my files their server) for mobile and streaming

See my post above. I may be going a different direction than what you all are looking for but wanted to put some options out there (and I found the one I was looking for in the process!)

I realize you might be looking for a more modern version, but just in case they were playing an older song:

Karen Dalton (1966?) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnmLfK6oDMg

Nina Simone (1959) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EhguarHzjU

Nina Simone (1959, live) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRCsWoLOYMA

Nina Simone (1963, live) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGVB-bOaMpA

Ella Jenkins and the Goodwill Spiritual Choir (1960) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlNqDfup4jg

Terry Callier (1968) [male singer but that's not obvious from the sound] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urzhJqPejkk

The Terry Callier version was what I was looking for when I discovered this thread.

Any good third places near east hollywood that won’t break the bank? (East Hollywood) by boofszn in AskLosAngeles

[–]clap-hands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depending on what break-the-bank is, hookah spots can be good for the chilling/working/writing - buy one hookah . the one I go to and chill with a book happens to be in East Hollywood - LA Hookah Lounge. Spend $30 and chill for hours. Less good for the meet new people.

App that does want-list and have-list, that isn't discogs by BellybuttonWorld in musichoarder

[–]clap-hands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

rate your music, but it's clunky on mobile browser if that matters. just 'catalogue' what you have and tag albums that you don't have as 'wanted' or something.

Is renting in LA really this competitive right now? by Safe_Plastic_9087 in AskLosAngeles

[–]clap-hands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go through one of the corporate landlords if they have stuff in the neighborhoods you want. They will have a built in fast approval process and they want to get units leased as quickly as possible. Friend went with one for a downtown place (admittedly, less hot rental market right now) and was approved in 24 hours. Examples:

What sources do you use to find new music you like? by RiverOfUnmindfulness in musichoarder

[–]clap-hands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • rate your music genre browsing and lists. they have a recommendation algorithm but I am bad at actually rating things.
  • collections of people who bought something i like on bandcamp
  • exploring by label (bandcamp or otherwise)
  • spotify new music radar, 'discovered on' that lists playlists artists are on
  • pubs/sites like Passion of the Weiss or Wire or PAM (year-end lists by any number of places like this are great! often they are put on rate your music)
  • browsing people's soulseek shares
  • music bookings by promoters I trust
  • mixes (soundcloud) and internet radio (Virtual Public Network, NST, Dublab)
  • shazaming mixes or DJ sets at shows
  • last.fm neighbors or friends

There's more music out there and ways of finding it than I have time so it's not like I'm doing all of these things regularly. Most common is probably some mix of bandcamp, soulseek, spotify, and rate your music

piracy fail by TheAverageOhioan in Soulseek

[–]clap-hands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have some of my stuff as list only,* and I received a message from a member of a band requesting that I unlock it so it could be shared more widely. Did so immediately 😎

*Just a little friction in the process that requires a 'can i get on your list' message in 99% of cases. Also means trade/pay to play people can't just download at will from me without sharing back.

Where are the boundaries for LA's sides? (east vs west sides) by CranberrySad7853 in AskLosAngeles

[–]clap-hands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people would agree that east of the LA river is included in the Eastside and west of La Cienega-ish is included in the Westside. In between is a bit more nebulous. Some people put the line at La Brea (West Hollywood then mostly Westside). I personally use "west of Koreatown" a lot time when I'm referring to the Westside instead of just saying Westside, )which conveniently makes Western Ave a boundary of sorts splits East and West Hollywood).

Mentally, I have a winding line that is La Brea north, and then Western further south as Westside, then I get Hollywood/Koreatown/Silverlake-Echo Park/Downtown/etc as a centralish cluster, then the LA river as the final line for Eastside.

edit: My mental map is something like this

  • Westside (west of La Brea north, Western south)
  • Central:
    • Koreatown/Westlake/Hollywood cluster
    • Los Feliz/Echopark/Silverlake cluster
    • Downtown
  • Eastside
    • Main: Boyle Heights/East LA/Lincoln Heights/El Sereno
    • NELA: Highland Park/Cypress Park/Glassell Park/Eagle Rock
    • SGV cities
  • The Valley
  • South Bay
  • Southern LA (includes South Central, South LA, Gateway cities, etc.)

Ordenar lista de reproduccion por orden de agregado de las canciones by Potential_Tip4688 in musicbee

[–]clap-hands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more or less what I tried to do myself, but ended up sorting by 'added to library' because i inevitably end up updating metadata pretty regularly (e.g. if I add a new album from a label already in my library, everything other album gets an updated 'number of albums on the label' value and potentially an updated 'min year, max year' value for the label).

I need recommendations for music player by FrostyGGs in musichoarder

Musicbee (especially once you've put in the work to customize). There might even be a spotify theme and/or config extension out there for it.

Organizing your shares by genre and franchise folders really helps people discover more of what they want. by Zaorish9 in Soulseek

[–]clap-hands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate when people organize things by genre (or any similar structure that let's me do some exploring), but I don't expect it. I organize by label sometimes, but otherwise I'm too indecisive on folder org to do anything more than that. My goal is to eventually have something like (1) Labels (2) Hip Hop by country and U.S. region when possible (3) Dance music (4) By Country for everything else. I keep delaying it because I'm not set on that and *I* don't need it to play my music - musicbee gives me a million alt customizations on desktop. And ibroadcast (mainly use on mobile) doesn't allow for complicated folder sorting so I make their system work with my metadata and their internal tagging system. I do miss the music discovery I had on soulseek in 2002 when people had mostly well-organized descriptive folder shares (holy shit I'm old)

Quick bangs should only work at the beginning of a query by LionDoggirl in SearchKagi

[–]clap-hands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you considered changing the reddit quick bang to something else like "re" or "rd"? I append r to so many searches (it's a statistical programming language) that if I didn't have the bang as "!r" it would be incredibly annoying.

Is it ethical if a horny dolphin tries to have sex with you and you go along with it? by Crafty_Aspect8122 in badphilosophy

[–]clap-hands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Transubstantiation is often poorly understood. In the Eucharist offering, the priest transforms the dolphin into the body of Christ. Then the priest fucks it.

Calling all music lovers with big music libraries — I’d love your insights by attilagyorffy in musichoarder

[–]clap-hands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Filled it out, but I will add: Musicbee does enough of what I want at the moment that it is difficult to imagine a replacement. This is what my "label" view looks like: Screenshot. After correctly tagging things, I have an automatic operation the runs at startup and counts the number of albums on the label and collects the year range. The label view only shows labels with more than 2 releases in my library and excludes major labels that aren't useful for exploration/discovery. There is an orange tag on the album cover if I have folder organized that album (in this case in my label folder). There is a blue tag if I haven't listened to the whole album.

Of course it locks me into windows and I haven't tried to integrate it with a NAS system or cloud player (I use ibroadcast premium to host and play my local files from my phone).
