music socials (last.fm, volt.fm, rym, discogs, spotify, soulseek, etc.)

I know we have an old last.fm thread, but I want to kick off a thread for other music socials outside the axe. My last, uh, last.fm has not updated in months. Same with my last RYM. I have mostly done my music socialising in volt.fm, but I do plan to have an active last.fm and RYM when my life is back in track. You (reading this) can DM me for my older last.fm and RYM, if curious. Until then, my volt.fm is the best I can offer. If you listen to mostly electronic(a), industrial, synth(pop), chillout, hip hop, (nu) jazz, r&b, (neo) soul, funk, nu metal, video game music, etc. We can bond.

Don’t know about Bandcamp, but the last time I had an active account, they let you scrobble through YouTube and Spotify plug ins. What I can’t scrobble through plug ins, I use manual / open scrobbler instead.

they do


it goes on and ona nd on and on but you can uncheck whatever you dont want

you can set youtube to not scrobble non music stuff

spotify has an option in the apps plug ins for scrobbling

clementine, foobar and wacup are all compatible with last.fm as well

Last.fm works with every platform I use except my record player. I wish most of my friend list hadn’t stopped using it more than a decade ago.

While I use slsk to track down obscure things, I don’t ever talk to anyone on that platform.

Many years ago, I used to talk to people on Napster sometimes. I remember the night my sister and I discovered VNV Nation. We started chatting with the person sharing the songs, a user named Homer in Germany, who suggested some other groups that I still listen to today.

Here’s one Napster chat that I saved from 2000.

 <Tornberry> hey
 <Tornberry> i got a question
 <aqueous_worm> hello. 
 <aqueous_worm> what's that?
 <Tornberry> just another user
 <Tornberry> oh ya . . . my question
 <aqueous_worm> sorry. that's what I meant. What is your question? :)
 <Tornberry> What is the name of the Super Metroid BGM that plays before the boss battle against the fire ghost?
 <Tornberry> i can't exactly TYPE how it sounds lol

 <Tornberry> i've checked all the boss fight BGM's but none of them are it
 <Tornberry> ohhhh
 <Tornberry> ok
 <aqueous_worm> hmm. well, you can get the whole soundtrack in SPC format
 <aqueous_worm> and find out that way
 <Tornberry> huh? how?
 <Tornberry> SPC? what is thaat?
 <aqueous_worm> it is sound files ripped directly from the games
 <Tornberry> how do i get that?
 <aqueous_worm> they are exactly how the SNES sounds, and they take up no hard drive space a tall
 <aqueous_worm> at all
 <aqueous_worm> I get mine at zophar.net
 <Tornberry> but HOW do you get that?!

 <aqueous_worm> oh, well, I just use winamp for that
 <aqueous_worm> it has options to output anything to wav
 <Tornberry> You mean Winamp can play SPC files automatically?
