mordy start an ilm room. the person who starts it has control over what can be removed. you just need to make a playlist with minimum 3 songs, start room, then post url here and anyone can join and add/vote/listen

This will happen in the next few days. Thanks for your patience!
Best,Johann
Other people asked for death/thrash or metalcore/deathcore rooms so hopefully the 2 i asked for do get made and not just that one.
it's a shame there's no enthusiasm for it, but an ongoing ILM room would be pretty bitchin.― ryan,
― ryan,
Me too, but those who are into that kind of thing prefer outloud so wont use a soundrop room. Which is a pretty much anything goes generalist room. Though nobody uses outloud during the day.Maybe ilxors on spotify prefer to listen to their own lists? or, as djp says, soundrop might not be allowed at their workplace.

when its not being trolled by dubstep kids adding skrillex or rock room kids adding bieber ,pokemon and other crap like emo.One of the developers told me a few weeks ago, when he was clearing out mess left by the trolls in metal room , that the african room was bombarded by trolls posting racist stuff too. They all get banned though.

ok, they really need to improve their 'add tracks' feature. i guess it doesn't let you search by artist or album?
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
yes type in artist album name
they had to remove drag n drop as trolls were using it to add a song every second.

My new set-up: Spotify Premium (high bit-rate setting) on laptop --> wireless streaming to Bluetooth dongle --> which plugs into Cambridge Audio DAC Magic digital/analogue converter --> which plugs into hi-fi --> which connects to three sets of speakers in three adjoining rooms. Now that I have the DAC, audio quality is every bit as good as CD.
All I need now is the Remoteless app - http://remoteless.no - which turns my iPhone into a Spotify remote control.

Is it just me or is Spotify absolutely shit at distinguishing artists of the same name?
There are, let's say, quite a few of these.
It just lumps them all together. Surely they're aware that this is happening. I guess they just decided, fuck it?

This is what the Music Week piece said:
Artist income from the likes of Spotify is a hot topic, with some labels reportedly passing just 10-15% of revenue generated from streaming sites to artists and managers as a royalty.Mercury-nominated artist Jon Hopkins said last year that he received just £8 for 9,000 plays on Spotify, whilst other acts including the Black Keys have questioned the "feasibility" of the streaming model for performers and writers.Speaking in a special report in today's Music Week magazine, Beggars Group director of strategy Simon Wheeler revealed that the label - which part-owns XL, Matador, Rough Trade ad 4AD - pays its artists from streaming services on a licence basis, at a much higher rate than its rivals."When we looked at the streaming models we felt that splitting this revenue 50/50 as licensed income was the right thing to do - we couldn't justify it as a 'sale'," he commented.Wheeler suggested that if other labels adopted the model, artists could receive "two or three times" their current income from streaming.

So by my reckoning, under this deal, Jon Hopkins could have made £16-£24 if he'd have signed to Beggars.

How much does an artist receive for a single play on a radio station with 9000 listeners?
― A BIG JOE JORDAN TYPE OF POSTER (onimo), Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
Somewhere in the region of £0-£8
― Feebs K-Tel (NickB), Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
I thought 50/50 was a pretty standard deal for indie labels, or was that only in the halcyon days of factory or rough trade or whatever?
― ledge, Thursday, 15 March 2012 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
when Touch N Go was doing the 50-50 split I always thought it was talked about as being a notably good deal for the bands. although the other side of it was that they didn't pay any advances or fund the recordings (just put out the records).

Doom Metal room is now live and on the main page. Ambient room got better after the trolls got banned/songs removed by the soundrop guys. Same goes for African room, 80+ users and lots of good songs. I saw mike t-diva dancing in there..

The rooms idea is great...but they're kind of mainstream. I like to give creative names to my playlists, which makes them undescriptive to the casual browser. If I call my mix "new wave mix", it gets lumped in with mainstream new wave lists. I like browsing Spotify for stuff I couldn't afford before!
― โตเกียวเหมียวเหมียว aka Manischewitz (Mount Cleaners), Friday, 16 March 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
well with sub-genre rooms being added now it's less mainstream. i believe death metal, minimal techno, prog house , industrial rooms are coming plus a lot more.
There should be an ilx room (with a permanent url) so we could all go in and add whatever we like (within reason) , but sadly there's no demand. Plus I dont wanna see outloud die. but i see no reason why both cant be done. outlouds more a night time thing.
Classical room is pretty good btw

Sounds entertaining, I might have a peep.
I am wondering if it is heinous to use profanity in a mix title, etiquette wise. Does it show disrespect to the general community of users? I suppose so.
Maybe I'll just use an asterisk in the offending word.
