It’s frustrating to live in a world where streaming is the main way to consume music. I found this German band from Berlin called “Von Wegen Lisbeth” because of their son “Wenn du tantzt” which has great music and great text: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2JRghbgeYw...
Streaming platforms allow users to add upcoming tracks to their playlists, in order to listen to them as soon as they are released. While this sounds harmless, it changed the habits of independent musicians, who feel they have to adapt to yet another algorithm.
Hi! I’m trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I’m understanding correctly it’s a self-hosted static site. I’m new to all this. I’m on a mac, so I’ve installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It’s currently pointing to “Audio Music Apps” folder which is full of audio...
Hi, yes, thank you so much. Your guide is super helpful. I was having some trouble with the cd part and I didn’t understand that the --preview command was supposed to build it. So I got that working. Right now I’m trying to make the .eno files, but it keeps giving me an error. This might be out of your area of knowledge. I tried using nano and using text edit in mac. I haven’t been able to get xcode yet because I don’t have a new enough version of macOS and I haven’t figured out how to get my hands on an older version of xcode. Anyway this is what it’s saying when I try to use the .eno: (The continuation in line 80 is not contained within a field. (‘\cocoatextscaling0\cocoaplatform0{\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset0 Courier;}’))
If I go in to edit the .txt or .eno there’s none of that there, I don’t even have a line 80 in my file.
Thanks! I ran the ls command and it says it is a .eno. I even tried typing out the whole thing from scratch in nano just to make sure there was no formatting being copy/pasted. I’m at a loss here haha.
Thanks, I got it working, I think I must’ve opened it up with text edit to double check it and the formatting got added and that messed it up. Or I had a stray old .eno file somewhere within the folders. Or both. I’m not on mastodon just yet but that’s good to know. Thank you!
