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

Pandora & Bandcamp

I've never paid for Spotify. I started with Grooveshark (as dubious as LimeWire) and moved onto Rdio before it was slaughtered by Spotify when it launched in the united states. I'll never forgive that. Pandora - Yes, it still exists. Yes, it's radio stations are still far better than any other streaming services. I pay for ad-free stations and use these for music discovery. I listen to stations or full albums. I don't give a fuck about playlists. Bandcamp - This is where I buy digital albums when I can (iTunes/Apple Music when I can't). Bandcamp allows you to stream songs a few times for free before asking you to pay so I preview albums with this service a lot. You can download music you buy to the Bandcamp app on your phone, but you'll need to download on a PC and transfer to your phone if you want the files in the stock music app (I believe that's only an iPhone limitation) iTunes is still a thing but called the Apple Music App now. It supports all its old functions but kinda worse all around because it pushes an Apple Music subscription at every turn. Like seiji points out, you can "turn off" Apple Music (streaming) and use the iOS and MacOS Apple Music app as just an MP3 player. It's almost old school iTunes with all the playlist creating tools you could want. Yes, you can still rip CDs! As long as you have a CD reader... Longplay - MP3 player app for iOS that only allows you to listen to albums in full. No picking and choosing tracks! I almost exclusively use this for listening to music downloaded to my phone. Vox - Minimal music player for Mac and iOS that also plays lossless audio codecs. Feels like iTunes with all the bloat stripped out. It's completely free. They have a premium subscription that will sync your collection to the cloud (but they don't shove it down your throat). Also supports Last.fm scrobbling.

French onion grilled cheese

Carmelize the damn onions in butter and beef broth. Low heat, 45 fuckin minutes. I’m not playin w you. Use gruyere cheese Make a compound butter with my girlies: thyme and rosemary and their dude garlic. Slather that butter on two pieces of sourdough. Both sides, I shouldn’t even have to tell you this. Cook up some bacon!!! Add a tomato. If you’re feeling froggy…truffle powder. Get to work.

My radio show about the history of african american music

It’s black history month. Support your black friends and learn the origin of like every American popular musical genre everrr. Once I’m done with the 40 + genres, we’re diving into the diasporaaaa. And then at some point I’m talking cash shit about the summer of love and what was cooler than stinky trust fund kids…I mean hippies in San Francisco... I’ll give you some hints, same time period but across the bridge in Oakland. There’s also 1980s Washington DC, fuck it even 1960s Detroit. I just really fucking hate the Grateful Dead fans. Sorry. Not sorry. Perfect listening for cleaning the house and doing art projects. Tell a friend.

Doing tasks at 130 BPM or higher.

I think that might be my secret to “success” My Success today is doing laundry and drafting emails 🫢 Might fuck around and clean a bathroom or write a few paragraphs for a short story.
