A year or so ago when I found out how little YouTube pays artists. It would be hard to figure out which ones were missing but I’ll take a look again and see how it is this weekend when I check out Apple music.

I’ve downloaded the app and found a process to move my playlists over supposedly without much pain. I’ll give it a go when I have time and brain power for it. Probably this weekend.

I’ll check em out, thank you!

I’ll need to do that. I don’t today. I will.

Look at that, Apple music has an android app. Silly me for not knowing. I’m gonna check my library against their stuff. It’s a provider I hadn’t considered!

Thank you.

♥️♥️♥️

Pretty sure I’m adding everything they’ve published to my playlist! Currently listening to Incurable Disease at an unhealthy level and cannot get enough.

Thank you again!

It’s my biggest hangup. As someone who thinks of themselves as an artist I hate thinking I’m helping crowd out artists and reward music plays from people who didn’t go through the effort to master music like that.

Just like I’ve never been able to pirate media (I’m old enough to have been around when MP3s killed music stores). I want the artist to be rewarded.

Maybe I’m being silly? But it’s important to me.

Thank you!

I used to only rely on people making recommendations but there just isn’t enough of that with the people I know unfortunately. Though you’re not wrong…

I’m looking for another service right now that has enough of the music in my playlist to swap and do just this.

Plus it’s a family plan so a little extra sting.

But then I have to teach my mom the new service… I love her. But maybe not that much 😂♥️

Thank you!

I have one on my gaming PC that I’ve probably used 3 times in the 15 years I’ve had that drive.

And a good idea for the hits for sure.

Thank you! Listening to Dreams of Lands Unseen right now. Instant add to my playlist.

Thank you. And pretty much what I’ve been doing. But lately…

Pretty much what every one of my friends have done. My kids were a great source in their late teens / early twenties. But as they’ve gotten older now they pretty much listen to the same stuff.

No, I’m not going to have more kids.

I hadn’t considered that… Any communities/blogs you recommend?

I normally avoid that stuff as an introvert but reading their stuff wouldn’t hurt. I’m not talking after all.

Sadly that’s what it feels like it’s coming too. But I don’t just want to support artists of a given age…

I know. I want my cake and eat it too.

I’ll give them a go, thank you!

YouTube music…

I’ve tried to leave them before but I haven’t found a single platform that has more than 60% of the content I like that isn’t worse (Spotify for example).

I like the odd music so much from small creators I’d hate to lose it.
