A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

MODERATORS
There's a local non-profit station that plays the wildest stuff, and you never know what you're going to get. They play stuff I've never heard of about 70% of the time.
They're great! And free of course.
Ofc it's in Oregon lol. Thanks for the recommendation.
Shazam app with youtube.com plus ezmp3.cc
Long answer:
Cloud infrastructure is expensive. You won't find any free streaming platform.
The best route is to manage your own Playlist manually.
Workflow:
Interesting music playing on radio/party
-‐> shazam to know title and artist
-‐> search youtube.com for that title and artist
--> copy url of video that best matches
--> paste url on ezmp3.cc for converting to audio
--> await conversion, download generated audio
--> Use a smart-mp3-tags app to add tags and album art automatically
Prons:
- until now, i've paid $0 for music I listen to. Evil bastard, I know. I, however, have bought poweramp for $5. Best purchase yet.
- you will find any music this way no matter how niche and weird it is. Unlike surfing the pirate ship
- bonus: you most definitely will find your favorite audiobooks.
Cons:
- no music discovery features. Which is truly the only downside you can't replace.
- no backup in case of device loss, so you better make copies manually

Bandcamp kinda counts
I post a lot of bandcamp links on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world, but apparently bandcamp got bought out and will inevitably go down the road of enshittification.
It's been bought out before, for now it seems to be doing just fine
