Freaking Lemmy wouldn’t preserve the formatting on the lyrics, so here’s a link instead

Me too. It was a great little gem to find.

I also recommend checking out the lists on Rate Your Music for discovery!

Try it out if you’re ever bored! I used to play it a lot when I was younger, but like twice a decade when I remember it, It’s fun for 30 mins.

The method I use for genre tags is:

• Rate Your Music - is by far my most favorite and preferred genre list
• Everynoise - although discontinued, it still has everything I need for Spotify’s genre categorization by typing in an artist
• Last.fm - I don’t really prefer this anymore, but if I don’t have a choice, this isn’t bad.
• Finally, If I can’t find it on any of these, I use my intuition and go looking through the Rate Your Music genres and try to find the most accurate.

Even with everynoise and last.fm, I still match whatever they spit out to rate your music equivalents to make it easier for anyone searching the community. That way everything is consistent and search will bring up every result.

Yeah, it really is a shame, but I’m happy that they gifted this to us anyways! You’d also really like this track as well if you haven’t already heard of it! I actually like it better, but it is an order of magnitude out there compared to this track haha

I hadn’t either! I’ll have to check it out.

Haha, that’s a good description of it!

Yeah, This is my favorite song by them by far, but I appreciate everything they’ve made.

Here is actually a more fun version of this song

I don’t believe there was ever any follow up. There is a little bit more info if you check out this video. It’s where I originally found this artist, and it’s a great channel for niche electronic and noise genres.

It’s really cool to see you checking out these old posts. I posted them when the community had basically no one subscribed and it is unfortunate that some of my favorites were going to be lost to obscurity from coming in too early.

Let me know what you think of the other track!

You were really missing out on line rider haha. I never thought that the two would come together so well. I think the first song on that album is my favorite post-rock track ever.

I kind of solved that with favorites. For albums I favorite them like I said previously to bookmark them to see all of the ones I care about most front and center.

The favorites for songs though, I use for the use case you described above. Every song I favorite gets added into a playlist using Navidrome’s “smart playlist” feature automatically.

Don’t get me wrong I use playlists ritually, but for an easy “brain off” playlist with every single song I clicked the heart on automatically, it can’t be beaten for ease of use.

I definitely use favorites. I’ve never really cared enough for the rating system. I almost use the favorites button as a bookmark for albums and songs I don’t want to lose in the collection.

From the text you replied to:

Admittedly, this isn’t always the case

I believe you’re looking for a debate, where I was wanting discussion. Take care.

I love open source in an ethical sense, and I use it to meet all of my media and storage needs. Even my operating system is open source. However, as a consumer, I also value having the best possible experience. Companies can provide better and more refined experiences in many ways, often by leveraging their deep pockets.

I don’t mind paying for services that offer great value or save me time. The problem that most companies face, though, is that I expect them to respect both me and my privacy.

If we were to eliminate privacy infringements from proprietary software and make it open source, it would often become best-in-class within the open source community (e.g., Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). Admittedly, this isn’t always the case, but all of this is to say that there can be arguments in favor of providing a service that respects the end user and their privacy, which warrants further discussion.

If it wasn’t Meta, I would almost be okay with this. If I genuinely believed that my privacy was being preserved, I think it’d be a fair trade.

Something worth mentioning is that android auto will not work for graphene. I was so on board until that. It’s understandable why that’s the case though.
