Apparently they aren't accepting any more new users. I have since moved on to Spotify for all my music needs, so I couldn't give you an updated take on AG. It's an interesting platform, but with stuff like Spotify (that quite literally gives you access to every single recorded song in the world), AG kind of loses relevance.
- graue 14y agoI dislike a few things about Spotify. 1. Unsustainable financially. They're losing money and will likely have to change the service or charge significantly more at some point. 2. Occasionally it doesn't have a song. Too obscure, too new, or some kind of legal wrangling is preventing it. Spotify doesn't have a good solution in this case. I can't augment it with music in my own collection. 3. With Spotify you have a huge music collection, but it's not portable. If they change the service (see #1) or you want to use a different client, you don't have options. 4. Mobile apps are limited to 96kbps. I want to be able to connect my phone to my (or a friend's) stereo to play music in the living room. The artificial bitrate limit means that won't sound good. These might all be things only nerds care about, which is why I don't expect the market for my side project to be particularly large. But it's enough to make me want an alternative.
