Terminal TiltLooking for new #music can be really hard, especially when you try to avoid algorithms. I find myself searching if a band I just discovered and like is AI. The killer is when you discover "AI music" on #Bandcamp. Then it turns into a whole thing where I have to go report them for violating Bandcamp's Generative AI policy.
Alex@terminaltilt That stinks!
I mixed finding new music and trying to incorporate it with our Minidisc player because I discovered Web MiniDisc Pro to easily load music. Was thinking Music Discovery with a Mix tape vibe in the car.
Got too carried away trying to automate a script for a new weekly playlist generation and failed at working with the API(I'm a tinkerer not skilled at any programming).
Oh man, Minidisc players are so cool! I looked into getting one and they start at around $200 on eBay from what I can tell.
@terminaltilt
Yeah, we are old school OG owners of one & found another one in a local OKC electronics bargain bin.
I didn't know that they got that high!!!!!!
Bryan (he/him) 🇺🇸 🏳️🌈@adubya @terminaltilt I watched a few YouTube videos about them. Sony made some incredible players. There are some car units that can record what you are listening to, like say talk radio, and it will continue recording the program after the car is off. I think I saw Sony is still making some blanks still. I could be completely wrong about that, but it is cool if true.
Veronica Explains talked about this Gnome app Shortwave, if you ever get into web radio. It has this cool download feature. Might be a great pairing with The Indie Beat Radio.
