He was our arbiter of good taste and a necessary filter of the mundane. Spotify doesnt fulfil this role. I do listen to Spotify but only via LastMix / DSTM. I am listening now. I listened to an album (local files) and as its bedtime I am just letting Spotify play me something similar before I switch off for the night.

castalla wrote: > You could always create a public John Peel Playlist ... When I worked at BBC Bush House (1968-71) we had clean feeds of Radio 1, 2, 3 & 4, plus audio channels for BBC 1 and BBC 2 TV. Enterprising staff in the Central Tape Room would record Top of the Pops, Pick of the Pops, Top Gear, and other music shows every week at 15ips on 10.5" reels and stash them on a special shelf. Then on the night shift you could find a few tape ends, splice them together into a full reel, make a high-speed copy of anything you were interested in, and take it home. As long as it didn't get out of hand, management turned a blind eye - things were a lot more casual at the BBC then. So around June 1970 I made copies of a couple of John Peel shows and spliced up a compilation of tracks I liked, complete with his intros. I still have the tape, about 80 minutes, and digitized it some years ago.

Re: [slim] The Automation of Selling Out
I used to use Spotify as a "try before you buy" kind of service but now I feel foolish for buying an album when for all intents and purposes I have all the access to it I need with the Spotify subscription. I had to really take a hard look at how I listen to music and also accept that I cannot tell the difference between my lossless ripped FLAC collection vs. the 320 kbps OGG files that Spotify serves up on my stereo systems. If Spotify would allow me to upload all of the live concerts I enjoy listening to and could play them back gaplessly then I would only use that service as it would meet all of my needs. I do miss the old feelings of serendipity that came with digging through the used CD bin at my favorite record store and finding some music I wasn't expecting or being turned on to a new band by my favorite dj or buddy that I knew also had good taste in music. Something about that process was rewarding in a way that a Spotify recommendation just cannot come close to matching. I also find I don't give a new album a real chance to grow on me since I have made no financial commitment beyond my monthly subscription. usc95's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108382 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] The Automation of Selling Out
I think Spotify/tidal/iTunes are the future. Seems to me that buying physical media or even bothering to purchase digital media will be a side show, a curiosity for the old and nostalgic in ten years time. The industry wants subscription, and now it has a taste for it physical media in particular is under threat. I will of course be one of the old and nostalgic, but there you go.

Re: [slim] The Automation of Selling Out
Curated music services are just the status quo (no pun intended) returning to where the music industry was 30 years ago - and it is an industry with huge vested financial interests. I was working at the periphery of groups that were very much the utopians of the disintermediation fashion in the 90s, the removal of barriers between content producers (musicians) and the consumers. The music industry actively conspired to ensure this brave new world headed for oblivion. They actively seeded and cvertly encouraged illegal distribution as a strawman to have something to hold up and say it's a bad thing. The result is Spotify, iTunes et al. Enjoy.

On the other hand, at least for Belgian bands, I see bands which have no record deal, who've financed, recorded and released their album themselves, appearing on iTunes, Amazon, Tidal and Spotify.
