A personal webradio.
It’s fast, free, keyboard-only, cross-platform, and add-free. It’s been my only source of music for the past 6 months or so.
I’m not sharing the link because of music copyright issues. But I think more people should do that, to break free of the yoke of greedy music platforms.
Does this play music you’ve downloaded in random order? How do you learn of new tracks? That’s where I like radio/Spotify - I get to hear new music.
- I create channels that play tracks in a defined order, on repeat, but with a duration of at least 80 hours (and ever-growing). Old-school album-based listening.
- I think learning of new stuff is twisted in the current environment. "New stuff" in the sense of radio/Spotify is mostly "same stuff as I know and like, but slightly different so it feels new". You don’t discover truly new stuff unless by actively searching for it. No radio or service is going to passively do that for you.
