there were two things i loved. one i think was called turntable, which let you and friends take turns DJing. you’d queue up a song and then after your 2 or 3 or idk i usually used it with the same group friends got their plays in, you got yours. i don’t know what happened to it as we stopped using it.
then was thesixtyone, which had great artist discovery. but they were not the best about getting licenses and lost their eventual IP lawsuit. after that they kind of turned into spotify. i’ve just been using my private collection since then.
I guess it’s a stupid saying… why is it more stupid than I thought?
Al I’m saying is it makes no sense for Google to dump Google Music. It’s in their wheelhouse, it’s a natural fit for their infrastructure, it could have worked with YouTube.
I’m in the camp of “relying on an algorithm to serve you music it wants promote is an awful thing” but people have been trained that reliance on algorithms telling them what to consume is the only option.
i mean, it’s not that different from listening to the radio. they have the stack of stuff that the station has been paid to play, and then the stuff the DJ wants to play, and you have to get through one before you can get to the other.
I don’t disagree. My music preference was shaped by my cousin marrying a Mormon and giving me several CD spindles of rock music he wasn’t allowed to listen to anymore.
Although that was more of an expansion of my repertoire because I was already into nu metal as a kid.
I mean, you’re kinda describing what they actually did
Google music was less killed, more rebranded as YouTube Music (but they did launch new app UIs at the same time that were missing various features from the old ones,). I’ve still got the same library of music I uploaded in Google Music that doesn’t exist in their standard library, and you can still upload today.
Being able to have my hundreds of playlists from over the years complete with all the obscure remixes and unreleased bootlegs on them, is pretty much the only reason I still use it over something like Spotify
I don’t trust Google not to nuke my playlist randomly for copyright… Especially my precious bootleg remixes that have been purged from the internet. I use EverMusic with Dropbox for that reason.
RIP Google Play Music. Have yet to find another streaming service who’s algorithm knew me so well to discover new music

That one doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Are you new to the internet?
I am very confused

Ahhh, that makes sense!
Your initial comment sounded like you were saying missing Google Music didn’t make one lick of sense
Not that google deciding to shut down google music didn’t make any sense

It can be a bad thing if you rely solely on it.
But it’s really not any different than finding new music on the radio.
I’ve been of the same opinion about getting all of one’s music from the radio since I was very young, as well hahaha

hehe i just commented that to you. I got my best collection of blues off the radio because Hell Yeah NPR and a cassette tape recorder.

😂 I haven’t heard that phrase in a southern minute.
