The people who are most missing out nowadays are the mangers.
I mean, if Spotify were around in the 90’s, there is no way I could ledge it like I do.

Of course not.
The combination of album sales and touring/merchandise sales made it a win win for all.
Take single/album sales out of it and things are a lot more difficult commercially.
There’s been no money in music sales for years, that’s not down to Spotify
exactly, if you’re not already popular, it’s almost impossible to become popular. algorithms aren’t helping, but they’re not the cause. we’ve got an excellent system for consumers, just not for the people who spend the time and money to produce music. that’s been the dichotomy between djs and producers for years too.
another massive dub techno list …
for those of us already making nothing from spotify, maybe this does help with exposure, but they’ll actually have to add small artists to the big playlists and i have yet to see more than a handful of examples.
i read something the other day about the about deezer (i think, could be wrong about the platform) using a model where a subscriber pays their monthly fee and that fee is divided specifically between the artists they listen to, instead of kicking that money into a pool that ends up mostly being paid to a very small percentage of very popular artists. seems like a much better system and a step in the right direction.
Some of the “Track IDs” playlists are quite good. Dixon’s being one I’ve enjoyed.
saw that one yesterday, but haven’t checked it out yet. maybe i’ll put that one on tonight.
alistair I’m not suggesting anyone should rip off the consumer. I don’t think anyone even wants the consumer to pay more? It’s to do with the deals the labels are signing with the streamers and how the money is distributed. The labels being even more complicit than the streamers in some instances.
Weren’t we talking about punchable faces?
Never been a Spotify user but have just got the family plan for my Mrs and kids.
I’ve been through the various Spotify threads on here and added a few playlists from those. Do any of you lot have any other good playlists you’d care to share?
Cheers
Cheers Dan!
Cheers , mate.
Anyone mind converting those to Apple Music?
