I would love them to add a blocklist of artists or songs as well

Yeah, but what about the linux app that they fucked up?

Love using Qobuz, been such a breath of fresh air after the enshittification of Spotify.

Excellent news. Meanwhile Tidal seemed to remove the option to even report fraud in their app. Or moved it to someplace less conspicuous?

Cool! Does Bandcamp have the same?

Has been available in Deezer for many months now. And it's a significant part of the reason why I switched to it from Spotify in March.

That's fair. If I want to listen to generated music, make sure I can search for it.

Before you start hammering downvote, notice that I'm in agreement with filtering out the generated tracks. Good music is good music, whether you play it correctly on the centuries-old grand piano, jam out on the guitar and drums, key in the synths on a midi, play a neural net, or a jar of mayonnaise. I don't want to encourage people to hide how they made their music. If it's generated, tag it as such. Let the people that actually want to listen decide if it's slop or serious.

Topcashback has cashback for Qobuz

Moving on from streaming services was one of the better choices I've made and I'm happy I did it before all of this AI nonsense.

I browse for music on RateYourMusic. I give the music a listen using Soulseek. I buy the music through Bandcamp. I see the artist when they come to my town. Recently completed the pipeline for Osees and have Chat Pile and Los Thuthanaka coming up soon.

It's a peaceful life.

Tagging is the bare minimum.

I don’t care about payouts. If I pay for a streaming service (I do: Apple Music), I don’t care who/how they pay). I do like that they pay more than average, and more than Google and Spotify. But I’m not switching to a service that pays artists more. That costs me the moral superiority to think I have a say in who gets paid what.

But on the flip side, don’t mourn for what they’re losing in royalties. (I know this community isn’t.) Google is paying them. YouTube is basically the leader of AI music. They’re pushing it on everyone. I think they make one of the tools. I’ve been fooled a couple times. But now I’m seeing that this is a trend that YouTube is pushing, so I generally assume something on YouTube is AI generated unless I know it isn’t.
