Interesting music map project from Switzerland. Unfortunately I couldn’t test it:

Why? What are you worried that might happen?
I looked at the VLC source code and they only have the three icons AFAICT (christmas, Kill Bill, and normal one).
This is the off topic thread? I thought it was generally a sense of humour here. 
Sorry if I sounded too serious. I was joking. I was implying that something equally silly may happen.
I have gone back and edited the post to make it clearer it was a joke. Sorry if I confused you.
Every time I see @jesus2099 ‘Yahoo! Auctions Japan is now geoblocked!’ thread I wonder why jesus is so happy that ‘Auctions Japan’ got geoblocked.
I’ve never heard of someone wanting something to be geoblocked before and it makes my brain feel weird

I’m not happy, it’s a big hindrance in my MB editing! 
But my Japanese friends told mercari was taking over yahuoku in popularity, more and more.
Indeed I already found and bought interesting stuff there in the recent past.
This geo-block made me update my searches, probably for the better.

I mean because ‘Yahoo!’ is like ‘Hurray!’

had a feeling this might have been on the cards, as I had an ONKYO bluetooth speaker that was so poorly made it broke within a week of owning it.

just wanted to share this nice little corner of the database I’ve discovered and improved~
don’t know how many of y’all know about Keyboard Cat, but it was a meme that went around back around 2009. there’s been 3 cats now who have been Keyboard Cat, and they’re still making videos~

edit: not gonna lie, this was also partly to test if the picture would show up on the MusicBrainz embed thing…

Labels bending over backwards to define streams as ‘sales’, and not a ‘licence’. Meanwhile streaming services are bending over backwards to define streams as a ‘license’, and not ‘sales’.
The only way to screw both listeners and artists!
I didn’t know it was 50% split for licencing… I need to get in touch with the artists I have put on streaming services, there’s some more money to be sent. To me, as the kind of music I put up all runs at a loss

People who use YouTube probably already know this is happening:
Google doesn’t give normal people the ability to report these kinds of activities at all.

The page is empty for me, even in archive.
Okay, known, but super depressing to read so much about it playing out… a big motivator for MetaBrainz to keep doing what it’s doing! I know fair artist representation is a part of the big picture goal.
On a lighter note I really want to watch the film these two dickheads made. Statements like ‘The Worst Movie I’ve Ever Seen’ are like catnip to me
p.s. 2 mins in and if you like bad movies this is looking very promising. Enjoy!
