  One con: Finding new music is harder (I imagine).

  That’s what radio helps with, there was also Pandora, but I didn’t know if it is still alive after Sirius XM bought them.

    Find an online radio station you like and you don’t need Pandora any more.

  I have found a ton of new music through KEXP’s YouTube channel.

    Found the Seattleite. Can’t believe I didn’t notice your name all this time and connect the dots.

    I listen to C89.5! Website and app both work flawlessly.

    Thought I remembered the name. That’s where Dinosaur Jr. played a legendary set.
    Also, I just realized they did another one more recently. I’ll have to listen to that one, too.

  Finding new music is harder (I imagine)

  In my opinion, it’s harder, but not even necessarily because it’s harder to do it in the end. More because it’s just harder to get started.

  For example, I find way more music I enjoy listening to through Bandcamp than I ever did on Spotify, but that requires having existing artists that I follow and can see their recommendations for, having a feel for which genres I actually like instead of a vague mental concept of what I like to listen to that I can then keyword search by in Bandcamp’s search/discover section, and hoping that the human curators on Bandcamp’s newsletter pick artists I like. Bandcamp doesn’t really have algorithms, so those are my only real options.

  It’s more effort, but it’s infinitely more rewarding.

  One con: Finding new music is harder (I imagine).

  You actually should actually try to listen to web radio. Still have a subscription with Qobuz but been listening to bytefm a lot and they have some great djs (they have different shows at different time.). I personally found more new and great artist or songs than any algo ever did.

  One con: you’re too busy writing down the songs and you cannot really do anything while listening as you also too scared of missing something.

    Do they not have a recently played? Can always go back through and shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the songs. Just note the time maybe atleast.

    • bvoigtlaender@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Wasn’t totally serious about my con. They do have a recently played and even an archive where you can re-listen certain shows you have missed (if you are paying member of their association).

        Fair, some people may just not know about it, so spreading some knowledge, cheers.

  On Bandcamp you can go on your feed page which shows albums based on the genres and artists you follow, and what fans you follow have bought.
