Seeing how the founder is the same who founded Jamendo which later was turned into a sad, user-unfriendly attempt to make money with freely licenses music (destroying its community in the process), how can I trust commonsearch not to be a waste of time and attention?
- sylvinus 11y agoSo much anger! I left Jamendo 6 years ago so I have limited influence on what they do now, unfortunately. Common Search is a nonprofit and 100% open source so it is fundamentally different.

- Fastidious 11y agoI do not sense any anger on the OP comment. It sounds like a legit, real concern.
- sylvinus 11y agoWell I actually share some of that anger so I'm sorry if I read too much into "destroy" and "sad". Common Search is forkable by design so it should hopefully stay on course one way or the other!
