I don't use Spotify anymore, but I can announce that of all the money I ever paid them, approx. 5% went to the artists I listened to.
That is a pretty insane transfer of wealth from the bottom / middle to the top if you ask me.
I already knew Spotify is a big scam for those not at the top, but seeing the numbers still gives me a bodily reaction.
@lislegaard So what are you using now?

@lislegaard So what are you using now?
money...
hehe! to answer more seriously i buy music on bandcamp, mirlo, and probably soon subvert.
i also buy vinyl and cassette tapes, mostly at shows. i recently digitalized most of the CDs i want to listen to as well.
all the digital flac files i listen to with foobar2000 on my iphone and mac. i just installed fooyin on my linux box as well. the files are stored in the cloud so i can save space on my mac when i don't need an album and they also pop up on the linux box.

@lislegaard @theron29 might be a little tough for me to upload my files to the cloud: 25,000+ files amassing almost 300 GB. If I copied those to Dropbox, it would probably take months. I just copied at my files to a RAID array with 12TB of space.

@lislegaard @theron29 And my 500GB iphone has approximately 12,500 of those files just in my iTunes library. Not to mention the thousands of files in the Bandcamp library.

haha yes! but maaaaaaybe you don't need access to 25,000+ files wherever you go, hehe!?
also i guess that raid array could have been a nas / plex server if you DO need access to everything.
but for you i could imagine like a monthly selection transfered to your phone or an audio player.
then every month you could change your selection. could be a cool project and a way to explore your library on the go

@lislegaard
I have never paid Spotify any money, and I have earned exactly $0.01 in royalties through them. I’m one of the winners, it turns out. -
I can give you a link later or you can search for unwrapped on GitHub by hans Martin Austestad. Banjohans is maybe his username.
It is Norwegian, but probably easy to fork and translate.

@lislegaard I hate the vacuuming up of wealth by creators by those who do not create. An inverted world.

Here's a link to the blog of J Willgoose from the band Public Service Broadcasting (see the Streaming Payment Rates entry) showing differing payments that bands get from different streaming services.

Interesting and informative I think.

@lislegaard Maybe you should have listened to Taylor Swift, instead!

@lislegaard@sonomu.club @april@donotsta.re Elegant in the way that it manages your library?

@jaypeach53 @lislegaard @theron29 Oracle give 200gb free afair.
I just run a rpi4 at home with navidrome and some rotating rust
-
@lislegaard@sonomu.club @april@donotsta.re The best solution would probably be to share some e.g. ampache instance with others

@lislegaard Music and money aside just the idea of feeding Spotify all your info seems a worry.
I have loads of artist friends that whinge about AI whilst being completely addicted to Spotify's algorithm hellscape, they are the problem not some AI jazz noises.
