Mark and Emily are a Duo whose work I absolutely love. And actually stumbled on in a weird way. I first heard them when their music was used for the soundtrack for a cartoon which aired on Comedy Central from 2014 to 2015. Hearing another track there's later which managed to get connected back to that prematurely ended show.
But I can listen to every album and EP of theirs on Loop and repeat and it wouldn't get old. At least we got this really awesome reverse collab between them and the studio that did the cartoon on a music video. You need to watch this on a phone or tablet. Something with an accelerometer. Don't hold the phone still and be sure to move it as the video plays.
These guys have been added to one of my Spotify playlists. Thank you, I love having new music.
Definitely the same. Though I ended up using youtube. Since Spotify didn't have a number of artists that I was really fond of. Though I'm sure Spotify these days it has a similar feature or probably had it first even. Where I can select an artist tell it to create a radio station based around them and then tell it to only play stuff from related artists that I haven't heard. It's a fantastic way to stumble onto new artists. And a nice side benefit since I pay for the service is no advertisements anywhere on YouTube.
I have tried YouTube Premium/Music, Amazon Prime Unlimited, Tidal, and Spotify. Spotify has the best app, IMO, at least it is better than Amazon Prime Unlimited app. It is slow and buggy. I've been tempted to go back to YouTube Premium/Music because they have a free month trial. If I made the switch, I would have to use one of those playlist moving websites that cost about $4.00 a month. Unfortunately, my playlists are huge. I can't help it.
For me content is always king. And that is definitely the one thing YouTube has going for it. You can find literally everything there usually in a decent quality. In the early 2010s I was all about one group in particular. Angels of liberty may voe rest in peace. And I was looking for a service that actually carried their music. Pandora had one random album. Spotify had nothing YouTube had everything.
Being a crazy homelabber my favorite app is the one that's local. When I was DJing online more heavily. I ran my own ice cast server. And when I wasn't on it myself I had a 24/7 automated stream complete with interstitials, bumpers, and intros. With a weekly schedule set up lol. Basically my own private radio station. Which once I get my current home lab situation all sorted. I'd like to get set up again and dockerized for easy backup and transfer.
I really dislike that Spotify gives Joe Rogan a forum to spout his nonsense. So I may just make the leap over to YouTube.
That sounds like a lot of work to run a server like that, fun though.
Google definitely has their own dumb s***. But yeah at least they're not paying Rogan directly I guess. Ultimately it comes down to what works for you and who has what you want.
With modern Broadband connections right now streaming from home is easier than ever. Even if you don't have your own dedicated server setup etc. There are versions of ice cast for Windows and Mac as well as linux. Same for Mixxx. Just have to open a port in your router. But yes setting up the automated radio station was a bit of a pain in the ass. Requiring learning a new and very obscure scripting language just for it. Though the software package it was originally written for has had an open source version of its project now. Which makes it a lot easier. Called Libre time. But I think ATM that's Linux only.
