I have about 4500 tracks/albums stashed in my collection. Idk what the good pace of posting would be to not overwhelm the community.

Since Lemmy doesn’t have polls proper, please upvote the comment with the number you prefer, in posts per day.

P.S. Downvotes don’t count, btw. Some people don’t seem to know how polling works.

          Eh, I don’t think it’s worth measuring in clicks. Quality ≠ quantity.

          But I’m coming at it from a listener’s perspective. Getting more clicks isn’t really on my mind.

              Sorry for the confusion; I think I see what you’re saying, now - In Aphex’s case, specifically, my opinion would still be the one post but I would’ve said something like “AFX (aka Aphex Twin)” or (side project of Richard James / Aphex Twin).

              Little more verbose, but helps people make that connection if they’re not aware.

                That’s true, but it was such a magnificent opportunity to confirm what I already suspected: that vast majority of people here don’t listen to music that they don’t already know.

                As for the quantity of clicks, I wouldn’t post here if I didn’t expect anyone to listen to those tracks. So it’s a balance between posting outstanding obscure music and obvious mainstream clickbait.

          Yeah. I don’t upvote or interact unless I already know the song or am interested because I know the artist. Very very occasionally I’ll get curious about something I’ve never heard of but it’s rare.

            I honestly don’t know a reason to subscribe to a music community when it’s not with an intent to discover new music.

    4500 tracks or albums? 4500 albums is closer to 45000 tracks…?

    You cant just say that and expect I have any idea how big this collection is.

    At any rate, idk probably like 4 tops? I’d say 3.

      I don’t use either streaming services or local files, as both tend to lose data once in a while. Instead I keep the collection as notes in my note app, with links to various music sources. There are ~4500 notes, which variously denote tracks, albums, or artists. I post tracks and albums interchangeably, so the number does correspond pretty well to what I would post here if I went crazy about it.

        Ok so 1. Every url is an address to something else’s local file. I cannot fathom why you would be saying a local file “loses data.” Thats not accurate. There is a small amount of data loss when you copy a file. Sometimes. But not always. Especially over a network (like… Downloading it from a URL. And if quality is your game and you’re streaming?)

        But that’s neither here nor there.

        1. Yeah like 3 a day.

        Anyways, you do you holmes.

        That’s not why I made my comment.

        I was being serious. For example, the search facilities on the fediverse are rudimentary at best. Finding a post of yours, even if you remember enough of it, is far from trivial. Hosting the content for that reason alone would make a better user experience.

        Another consideration is a concept of signal to noise. How much of your contribution to the fediverse would be this data stream, and how much would be other content, like comments and unrelated posts?

        Then there’s the resource aspect. Your feed would propagate throughout the fediverse and consume potentially exponentially more resources than a website would and we’d be paying for it, rather than you.

        That’s some of the reasons why I made my suggestion.
