My barber doesn’t have online booking or phone booking. You walk in and take a seat, or wait in the line if it’s busy. I asked him why not. He told me that he used to take bookings, and stopped for a few reasons: 1. A lot of people book app

Charged multiple times? Is there a paid subscription/pay per item element to BBC Sounds now? I’ve not used it in a while.

> As a side note, Spotify treats classical listeners horribly, ignoring their requests (such as to show more of song titles, or search by label), which I do not understand, because these are the customers that would most likely pay a pre

Varies depending on how much of your audience is ad supported vs premium and other variables (family plan, bulk deal through mobile operator, student deal) but blended it’s safe to work on the assumption of ~$5 per thousand for Spotify. Hig

Are you sure you mean your b2b sales CYCLE is 30 minutes? Or do you mean the sales call is 30 minutes?

Great idea, but the first route I searched which was LONDON City LCY to Athens ATH gave me the option of LCY>LUX>ATH, which is not possible. When I click the button that takes me through to skyscanner to check prices, I’m told there a

Cassette and vinyl sales are both up - but still represent a tiny fraction of music sales - vinyl Is about 3% or 4% of sales in the UK. As regards comparing consumption to sales: this is a fairly standard “equivalent” used in the music indu

No surprises. I kept scrolling to find the “surprise”. I would have been much more interested if you’d said “we can scrape Spotify: here is what we found when X” As it happens I’ve “requested access” but nearly hit the back button because I

This feels like the product of a basic coding test. Which is fine, and if so well done. But I was hoping for something more. I clicked four times, hoping that it would get better. Three of those four were distinctly un-awesome, and felt a b

I’ve basically stopped reading stuff hosted on Medium. I hit the limit of my “free” articles way too quickly (often by following links from other platforms, or mailing lists), but the content hosted there is neither compelling enough nor un

This is a very strangely written article, like something churned out by an SEO mill. It half-way alludes to - and then shies away from - a bunch of potentially interesting things, then wildly changes direction in the last paragraph and ends

Yes, though also mentioned very early in this article as perhaps not the most accurate portrayal :)

Yes. Mood Media is a company that bought Muzak, Inc - the original elevator music company (and the reason we sometimes talk about disposable music like this as “muzak”). They are a substantial business now owned by private equity. They acqu

Flickr was probably the first service I paid money for. I seem to recall shelling out $5(?) a month years back - maybe around 2009, possibly earlier - when I hit the 200 photos limit. I was more than happy to pay that back then, because the

I’m not sure why this has been compared to Bach. It’s not very similar at all, and quite jarringly disorganised. I can’t comment on the method used to make it (though would love to understand more, as this is an area that professionally int

Actually, I’d say it’s a good reason to keep it visible. First thing I did after I’d read the first paragraph was hit ‘back’ and open the discussion thread. Who funded the study? Is the science valid? Stifling discussion about something by

What is this site? Have they any reputation? I ask because they say - somewhat illiterately:- “While those factors may caution the public, many wonder if anyone reads what is often viewed as nothing but legalize”. I assume they mean “legale

Not so strange. The person above implies that they have lost some of their hearing already. As I understand it hearing loss is progressive - i.e. what is already done gets worse. I’m also of the opinion that damage can spiral - your hearing

Music licensing is really complex. As someone else has said in another comment thread it also varies territory by territory in how this is managed - but then also who is owed what can vary territory by territory depending on other deals at

There is a little (understandable) confusion in some of the comments here. The issue here is not that Spotify is infringing copyright (so it’s nothing to do with BitTorrent etc) but rather that Wixen says that it has not been paid correctly
