I was surprised by that bit too. Doesn't seem to make sense - with those prices payment isn't an option for most victims.

Well...depending on what you're selling they are probably excellent customers. Sorry, couldn't resist. On a more serious note however, I understand what you mean. I think there's also the perception that significant cases of

Where? As a long time Soundcloud listener and artist I have never seen an option to buy or sell music on Soundcloud. Unless you mean the "Buy"-link which you can setup to redirect your listeners to actual stores and purchase optio

In my opinion it's rather naive to think that the development in the US won't have any effect on the internet for global users. The user "bicubic" expressed it very well in another comment [1] in this discussion, so let

Tell me about it. It's even worse as a Mac user. I'm currently in the process of replacing my aging iMac with a new one and since I need about 1 TB of storage and won't allow any spinning drives, Apples wants me to pay about

Nice to see you here. Don’t get me wrong - I agree that minutes played is a much better metric than play count - in fact I always wondered why Soundcloud wouldn‘t go a few steps further and not only show minutes listened, but also where tho

As far as I know Bandcamp is doing better than ever - they are also a completely different service, not very similar to Soundcloud at all. At Bandcamp you buy and truly own your music. While they offer streaming of those purchases, I‘d surp

And that‘s exactly what they should have focused on. I never saw them as a service for listening to tracks and albums or storing my collection. It‘s not a Spotify or Apple Music competitor. It’s a great place for DJ mixes, sets and live rec

Obviously he has the spine to do so :) On a more serious note, I think an app that motivates people to be more active isn't a bad thing or scam per se, though I can't speak to the quality of this particular one.

People have been saying this for years now. Yet here we are and Dropbox still is the most polished product, even compared to big names like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.

I think they still have the most polished product, particularly when it comes to the web interface. I don't even have the Dropbox client installed and instead use the service via Arq to backup my music library which is about 500 GB and

That’s a very important aspect. If the difference between inappropriate harassment and the start of a sweet, romantic Pam-and-Jim-like story is the question of whether she‘s interested or not, we are in for a lot of grey area and uncertaint

Frankly, I prefer the ability to install and, almost more importantly, uninstall apps via drag and drop. I understand, it depends on the software, but installers that have the potential to install all kinds of services and files in other pl

And I'd argue that those resources wouldn't be spent very effectively or worthwhile in that case. How many apps are so niche and specific that there won't be a replacement? I'd guess that rarely happens.

I'm pretty sure you're missing the good stuff, hidden a under a sea of mediocrity. That can easily happen as there's simply so much music out there.
