Spotify - anyone heard of it?

NO 2 Band ID cards

Wonder if a modern-day Negativland could release a new “U2” single

It can't be that difficult. Discogs manages this issue perfectly competently.

not really - anyone on Discogs can create a wrong version of an artist, or misattribute anything, and it'll only get fixed if another user a) notices it and b) knows or is able to research a definitive correction

and yet I can't remember ever seeing an obvious mistake

Most of the historic cases of multipe artist same name mistakes have been fixed in the first few years of discogs, i ran into loads of these cases when I used to enter 90s rave/techno comps and 12”s, I swear half of these projects had a namesake from the 60s/70s.

I have fixed many dozens in the last two years and have about twenty tabs currently open to get back to sometime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if I could remove remixes from my release radar I would

SAME

I shared your feedback about remixes with the Release Radar team, because it has been at least a week since I've complained about this myself.

(small voice) I actually like hearing about remixes

Remix Radar

remixes jammin your radar

thanks Glenn!

I like hearing about a good remix of a track / artist I love

...so yes, what katherine said

I have mostly argued for putting a separate section of remixes at the bottom of the list, instead of mixing them in...

yeah, and maybe a separate playlist for U2 remixes...

Sometimes i am browsing the internet on my phone while listening to spotify and the music cuts out because the website—often cnn or the washington post—automatically starts playing some little video ad—often far downscreen and on mute.

Coukd someone who works at spotify fix this? Like have the music override other content? It’s very annoying

Seconded

Let’s get a mod in here to take care of this

kinda feel like that's more of a cnn/wpost issue

nah it's a safari issue in general on apple--happens to me when im listening to itunes music as well.

Maybe try installing an extension that disables (html5)autoplay?

No dice if using Safari.

On ipad/iphone that is.

Are you listening to Spotify through the browser or the app?

I see XTC have a new single out, called Internet

I have the same problem with chrome on my android phone

In other words, when I'm playing music on the spotify phone app, there are many websites I can't browse because their autoplay videos/ads override spotify.

website autoplay should be fucking banned, i hate that shit

I wonder how this showed up on my release radar:
https://open.spotify.com/track/2gC6syANXZIQFTgpVPVIcT

a glitch in the matrix?

I got the same track, wtf

As, sadly, did a <i>lot</i> of people. It's being fixed...

Glenn, any idea why when I add new albums to my New Music playlist, it takes a couple weeks before they start popping up in my shuffle queue?

this isn't awful tbh

there have been far worse things on my release radar

I do not answer any questions about Shuffle.

Bummer

Irrationally angry that some generic dubstep guy called "Tar" showed up in my New Release Radar. Looked at all of the reporting options, but there doesn't seem to be one meant for a basic music fan to report name confusion. If I say I don't like Tar, I guess it will think I don't like the classic 90s band, so I just said I didn't like the song itself.

I fixed the Tars.

Oh, thanks! Right after I posted that, a rapper named “Rush” showed up.

Yeah, I got Jewel, Rush, Anakin and Travis already...

haha yeah I got the Rush guy on my release radar today, wasn't too bad

I got retro-metal Them and rap KING in lieu of 60s Them and R&B KING ... both aight but

I was going to let the Rush one go but then Spotify emailed me…

This week's RR turns up an alt Chic (Latinx rap).

I've fixed 67 wrong-name-on-discogs-es since this post (including some ANVs, and the exact opposite problem of same artist multiple entries) but have only closed one of the earlier tabs

I didn't think XTC had a song about social media, but RR set me straight this week.

Using the web player (since I can't install the app at work.) Seems the order of my albums, which used to be alphabetical by artist, are now ordered by the date that I added them. Would really like to revert to the original view.
