Nintendo music (the app)

If you have a Nintendo Online Membership. Run to the app store right now. Nintendo has released their own Spotify, and thank fucking god. Do you know how terrible it is to stream low quality rips from YouTube? The fact that this is the first time Nintendo is releasing their own recorded music (and at this high quality) is something I’d never thought I’d ever see with my own eyes. But if they were, of course it would be through a paid streaming service. I can only dream of owning a record of the Wii Sports Resort album :( Also not everything is on there yet, but enough to suffice. So if you’re awaiting songs from Donkey Kong Country Jungle Beat, join the crowd. You can at least listen to the Bath theme from Nintendogs and put it on an hour loop, like me!

songshift app

just received this game changing rec from an irl friend. basically automatically converts music links to whichever streaming service you use. probably everyone on this pi.fyi should get it, so if anyone has apple music and wants to check out someone’s spotify playlist they can do so with one click and vice verse, basically universal accessibility ~ maybe there’s a way to integrate something like this in the app tyler ? idk anything about coding and not trying to overload your workload lol

Apple music

I mean, if you own an iPhone, there’s no fucking reason to use Spotify. Let me explain: On the Spotify front: - Spotify pays LESS to artists. Whether they‘re Taylor Swift or someone with 10 Monthly Listeners, they pay a MUCH LOWER rate than any other streaming platform - Spotify is also just a platform to flex with fame and notoriety: you can see how many plays, how many monthly listeners, how many followers each artist has. You can even buy merch and tour tickets (that’s kind of the only cool thing they got going on rn tbh) - Spotify doesn’t roll out their Organic Promo Features to all artists. Again, if you are Taylor Swift, you’ll get all the perks, but if you’re just starting you won’t be able to do shit besides having your music there. Ex. indie artists don’t have access to Countdowns, Clips, Paid Promo Tools, etc. - Since last month, Spotify passed a rule in their company to NOT PAY ARTISTS WITH SONGS WITH LESS THAN 1000 STREAMS. This is BULLSHIT. And adding to that, you CANT SEE DATA from less than 1K played content now: since they’re not paying you, you can’t know how your music is doing. Which again, is BULLSHIT. - The playlists are all over the place, tainted by modern day Payola (Submit hub, Groover and such) and editorial playlists ran by RANDOM ASS PEOPLE that do not make music or know about music at all. They work on a “Vibes” basis for their editorial playlists, which suck because that’s the only way to grow in the platform as an emergent artist. - They advertise A LOT: it doesn’t matter if you have premium, that weird random song/artists that you got suggested, well, they PAID for that. - Talking about advertising your music on Spotify: you CANT advertise unless you have 1K monthly listeners already. And when you have them and advertise from your Spotify for Artists account, those campaigns have probably THE WORST OUTCOME I’ve ever seen in years working with online and social media advertising. It’s SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE AND DOESNT DO SHIT FOR YOUR ARTIST CAREER or exposure. - Spotify does this thing called “Normalization” which is basically further compressing the songs that are already mastered by the artist. In English, they have a threshold to fulfill and they will get the volume of your song to the levels they’re looking for to have in the platform, NOT YOUR MASTER and the decitions artists made when post producing their songs. - Also, their interface is ugly af. Hate the green and black. On the Apple Music front: - If you own an iPhone, it literally just makes sense to pay for AppleOne and have Music, AppleTV+ and your iCloud all in one bill. Money wise, it make sense. - I LOVE the fact that AppleMusic DOESN’T SHOW NUMBERS BECAUSE IT’S A MUSIC LIBRARY, NOT THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. If I want to know how many plays did any song/EP/album/artists has, I will see the charts, not my own music library. Because mainly I don’t listen/search for music because of the amount of times they’ve been played. - Audio Quality: if you have a good Soundsystem at home, or good quality headphones or any of the Apple earphones/headphones it’s just plain better. - It works with Siri!!!! My girl knows me, she knows what I listen to. I have a HomePod Mini and it’s the best thing because I just ask for a song/artist/vibe/radio/playlist and she’ll do it for me. This also works on my Airpods while I’m walking. - The interface is cute and the animations, lyrics and bios are fucking cool and not ugly - They pay a HIGHER RATE per song than Spotify. I’ve noticed the HUGE difference when Spotify payed my $2 for what AppleMusic paid my $12 - Playlists and suggestions are linked to your phone use so, it will be better than Spotify no matter what. - Zane Lowe!!!!! So yeah, thats my lengthy recommendation for today.
