Getting a hundred records pressed is well upwards of a grand just for the records. More than that, not a single soul has ever gotten into releasing small run physical albums for the money. If you have two million, and want one million, star

npm is full of this shit too, eg. https://www.npmjs.com/package/openssl-node which I reported weeks ago but is still sitting there.

Yeah, the ADM certified stuff, as far as I know, is a small percentage of the music on there. The distributors I've worked with don't let you have a separate Apple Music version in the same release (a lot of them don't even l

Where did you hear this from? For the vast majority, Apple Music gets the same masters as sent to every other service.

The UK show "Lovejoy" based on John Grant's novels is also related. Many episodes revolve around art fakes, and people's feelings towards owning, producing or selling them. It's a great watch with lovely romanticize

Spending that money was part of their strategy to go for a "bundled" rate for royalties, which 99% (their number) of the US customer base now does. In a nutshell, they can downrate the royalties for music as long as they bundle ot

I switched to Tidal about 8 years ago after discovering how bad the Spotify encoding was. With some songs the high end is just complete garbage that physically makes my ears hurt, for example Enigma's Cross Of Changes. The encoding on

The platform or the venue pays a more or less flat fee to one or more local copyright associations for music to be played. If you host it yourself, you can get flat-rate streaming licenses (ie. non-seeking linear programming only) for not a

This is a non-excuse. All the accounting is done through distribution partners, not to individual artists, and they have computers available to calculate numbers. They have been doing it until now just fine while making money. So have lit

You're implying you have a conscience but your first thought is that the affordable housing shortage is aggravated by nebulous "illegal" immigrants rather than profit-seeking corporations?

If you're looking at Spotify's profit to redistribute, you're looking at the wrong places. The right places would be the payola agreements worth billions they already have in place with the major labels, and the fact that the

I've made a couple of these air quality monitors for friends and myself the past week and they seem to work well. Total cost is around 30-60$ depending on which sensors you want. Maybe of interest to folks here too.
