These are some resources I use whenever I want to discover new music and old, forgotten gems: - Bandcamp. Obviously. It’s such a great and large community of listeners, enthusiasts, collectors, artists and labels featuring niche genres as w

You can also filter by additional metadata, like year:2019 - I often use that to narrow the results for very large labels down to more recent releases.

What's the problem on iPad? I used Narwhal briefly, before Apollo, but it never particularly impressed me, though I can't name any specific faults either - maybe the design language, which doesn't feel very native or in line

Not OP, but I'm on desktop and it's the type of comment I'd scroll past since this wall of text looks rather unreadable - it lacks structure.

If you actually do this I can only hope that you'd use a lossless audio format like FLAC. Even if the fidelity of a cassette recording might not reach the limitations of a lossy codec, you should only consider lossless audio for creati

That sounds lovely. As a music collector and enthusiast, I find it hard it indeed hard to share this passion as it ahs become a rather niche interest. I think it's a shame that music has been reduced to background noise these days, a t

Thanks, while it looks interesting they seem to use a bring your own storage approach - that sounds like more work than I‘d like to put into it. I‘d prefer to avoid managing servers and VMs. Due to using Arq I‘m not limited to using the spe

Sure, Backblaze covers the backup duties, but does it allow me to upload any files and get an easily shareable link? As far as I know Backblaze focuses on backups exclusively.
