  Enshittification comes to SoundCloud…that’s a real shame

  There's no technical justification for this, it's only to make you download the app and let them suck ur data

  There’s a workaround for this issue.

  1. Go to open.audio or funkwhale.audio/#get-started
  2. Register for an account.
  3. Enjoy over 30k hours of creative commons music, freely shared.

  FunkWhale is another decentralized service like Lemmy or Mastodon. (It also runs on ActivityPub under the hood.) Most of the publicly available pods only share creative commons material, simply because it’s the easiest to share, but artists can share under whatever license works for them.

  If you’re technically inclined, you can run your own pod and load whatever music you own onto it, and share it with others (I presume you’ll take care not to share beyond whatever license you have permits). Pods sharing pirated music exist, and they obviously should be avoided. Even if you’re not technically inclined, many pods allow you to upload some amount of music, you’ll want to double check the server’s rules to determine if that can be used for your personal library.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I was only using SoundCloud to listen to a friend’s new song.

    Not only do I already have an account for Funkwhale, but I also have a formidable collection of DRM-free music in the form of CDs and Ogg Opus. I also prefer to use BeatBump to stream music I do not yet own.

      Fair. Thanks for indulging my FLOSS plug then. Beatbump sounds nice though.

    Its so sad basically all the songs/artists i like to hear aren’t on funkwhale, I’d so use it if i had a good amount of things to listen there

      Yeah, since most of the public instances only make available creative commons stuff it’s better if you have a mood than particular artists. I suspect if most people switched they could find new artists to meet their tastes within a year.

      My gut suspects that an artist with a good patron following probably has as much take home pay as a similar artist that signed a record deal. If true (and that’s definitely an if), why prop up up an industry that exists to siphon as much value away from artists as possible?

  You still can’t filter reposts out of the feed without a browser extension to do it.

  I go back every now and then, but my feed is full of everything but the music I actually want to hear from artists I follow.

  And each track now takes up half the screen because it has to show off the album art in HUGE format, meaning even if I were willing to just scroll past reposts, scanning through the feed is a nightmare.

    I just unfollow any artist who reposts stuff regularly

    • MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      While that’s an option, I don’t want to be making trade-offs like that on platform I have to pay to use without ads.
