Exit Stage Left: The curious afterlife of pop stars by Nick Duerden is 99p on Kindle. Could be good.

Amazon Music – Is download function messed up?

27/03/2021 by rotherhithe hack 7 Comments

Just bought a couple of CDs from the tax dodgers, received an email telling me I could download as auto-rips, but the interface on the music library has been changed and there’s no apparent way to download them. Customer support has been no help so far; can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that the download function seems to have disappeared.

Anyone else had this problem? Or am I missing something?

…should you happen to have a couple of long spoons with which to sup.

The Telegraph are offering a year’s membership of Amazon Prime, worth £79, if you take out a year’s sub for £100.

If only it was the Grauniad. But I’m putting this out there as a public service anyway.

Money for nothing

16/10/2015 by paulwright 5 Comments

On another post I was added a Buzzocks YouTube video, and it occurred to me that I haven’t given them any money for probably 25 years (though I can sing every word of their first dozen singles, and play mp3s of their CDs. Got me thinking – if I want to channel (a tiny amount) of money to my favourite struggling artists, what gives them the best return? Should I stream them on (Free) Spotify, Amazon Prime, Googleplay, or YouTube? And on YouTube does it have to be the official channel for them to get money? Any one know?

And here is one of my favourite struggling artists on what I think is his official channel. https://youtu.be/VnEryrw4-G8?list=PL4S3FyuYt-BHIXTfH1O4CJLgATwr4rQY9
