So /mu/, what do you use? RYM or last.fm? Why do you prefer one over the other?
I personally like last.fm better. The layout is much sleeker and the fact that it actually has something to keep track of what you listen to.
Last.fm is shit with the update so RYM
>>63307736
RYM
Last.fm doesnt compare imo
>>63307736
yeah I only use last.fm. it's nice to see a comprehensive history of what you've been listening to for many years
>>63307745
yeah the updates suck ass, it's going to complete shit, so I wanna use it as much as i can before it goes completely under, ug. it honestly has so much potential if they could get some more savy designers/leaders but it is going to end up garbage as long as old ass CBS owns it. honestly, I don't know of a more out of touch media company than CBS
>>63307736
Always used RYM because I don't get the purpose of scrobbling
>using either one
last.fm because threads related to last.fm are a lot more fun and have less drama
Last.fm shows the music you actually listen to.
RYM is for the music you want people to think you listen to.
last.fm
doesn't have sleepystalinist
>>63308007
last.fm threads are a shadow of their former selves honestly. There's very little life to them now
>>63309295
The whole board is a shadow of its former self honestly. Can't even have an interesting argument anymore as people just post stale memes or redirect to reddlt or lame shit, its dull af.
>>63309295
yeah I'm sure they were a lot better back then but they're comfier than RYM threads
especially collage threads
they're both very good for music discovery but rym is much better for organization and queueing and whatnot
>>63308535
that's faulty logic
>>63309340
there are no good places to talk about music anymore
last.fm
if you take rating albums on RYM seriously I don't know what to tell you
Last.fm is dead after the rehaul
>>63309359
We had scripts and everything, you could change your username to your current playing song and comparability was automated, it was sweet.

>>63309359
RYM threads are p much small-scale celeb gossip things.
Collage thread are kind of separate from last.fm threads themselves, and they're still somewhat active. Last.fm threads before used to get everyone a bunch of shouts and convos, nowadays there's none of that.
>>63309340
maybe I'm wrong, I often am, but hasn't it always been like that? maybe you got more mature along the way. I'd fix that if I were you.
>>63309422
this, so rym, although discogs is better than either
>>63307867
The point of scrobbling is ego
>>63309457
nah, I could have a lengthy drawn out autistic as fuck argument for 200 posts with Hampus, CLT, Ame, Waffles and others without a single meme or *tips fedora* shit.
Sonemic will probably kill RYM but whatever. I'll still probably use it.
>>63309378
have you tried making friends
i ask because most people on this board aren't interested in discussing/discovering music
>>63309494
why trip if you're going to say dumb things
last.fm doesn't even compare to RYM when it comes to actually discovering new music.
>>63309433
it would be pretty cool if we could have the script back but if I am correct, we can't
>>63309457
>Collage thread are kind of separate from last.fm threads themselves
that's why I said threads related to last.fm rather than last.fm threads
>Last.fm threads before used to get everyone a bunch of shouts and convos, nowadays there's none of that.
people certainly don't seem to be having as much fun
>>63309521
I'd like to hear your reasoning for that if you don't mind.
>>63309495
So what's missing is big name posters that will keep an argument going for hours?
you can respond to the call and become that person yourself! no dream is too big, my dear.
>>63309535
Wait, What? had a go at it but couldn't work it.
>>63309546
I like assigning scores to albums. Its better for having/sparking discussions than what you're listening to, last.fm style.
>>63307736
I've honestly never figured out how to use rym to discover new music.
When I was more active it was all blog with links to OCH. And it was really awesome because the blogs were always highly specific and personal. But that is dead fo sure
>>63309612
>I've honestly never figured out how to use rym to discover new music.
Type a genre, a year, a country....

>>63309599
what makes you think you won't be able to rate music when sonemic rolls around
or are we just on different pages here lol
>>63309655
Shit, just type A in the genre box and theres tons.
>>63309522
Friends are now occupied with other stuff than music discovery. The leech of me desu.
I have the feeling that discourse (when not academic) has moved away from forums and imageboards - to more egotistical endeavors like having a blog. But that not as inclusive. I really think something is just gone.
>>63309655
Yeah, of course I tried that. But I don't like the algorithm nor charts in principle.
>>63309664
Oh you mean why will it die? Probably because the update will be shit and too different. Kind of speculation, I just have a bad sorta feeling about it. Honestly I don't know why they decided it was necessary.
>>63307894
Dumb frogposter.
>>63309733
I am kind of worried about them having too much of a focus on "modern design" tbH. The design is fine now; in fact it's really good
>>63309733
I don't get those vibes at all. The update seems like it will have good ol' RYM but now you can rate videogames too. If anything I think it will improve since the search optimization will be closer to what we all wished for from the site.
>>63309522
it was obviously a joke, and the trip was left on from /daily/
>>63309689
yeah I feel you dude, the intimacy on the Internet is long gone
I'll be your friend :+)
>>63309733
there are many reasons why they decided to do it; the biggest one being that rym is a buggy fucking piece of shit
>>63309814
good save
>>63309900
okay :^)
both
>>63309689
they just started living their lives(jobs,hobbies,wifes,kids) best case scenario only reading your posts. Worst case - killed themselves.
>>63310068
Some are dead. Most just lost their strong interest in music. I mean, it really is a lot of work and time spend to discover something on a daily basis.
I now barely have time to find a good record weekly.

looked up the indiegogo for sonemic and I'm wondering why anyone would use it over discogs? I understand that RYM is not really in competition with discogs right now, but when they describe sonemic as a "vast community backed data base", how is that different than discogs? The cinemos seems SUPER cool, tho
also, what is with the name sonemic? it is TERRIBLE by all naming standards. "Sohn Mike" is how is looks, but apparently they want you to call it So-Nee-Mick, ug....

your special snowflake taste is not better than mucore I guarantee it
>>63310861
>trying to create a false dichotomy of music taste
that's not how human beings work
you've proven to be stupid as hell today, did you drop out of high school or what cuz I can't imagine being this dense at 22 years old
>>63310904
ooh dichotomy is a big word I'm so impressed
post you shit taste
>>63310934
dichotomy isn't a big word at all, honestly the fact that you would say that ironically is even more proof you're an idiot
>>63310983
I could tell that you thought it was a big word because you were misusing it
you're not going to bait me into proving academic credentials, and you're being kind of boring posting no taste
your taste is trash anyway if you dislike scarufficore
>>63311041
I wasn't misusing it, you were trying to divide with that "special snowflake taste" bit of yours.
and there's no reason for me to post taste because you're not interested in music discussion, you just want to validate yourself
and your reading comprehension is godawful too because I never said I dislike music scaruffi likes

Last.fm = safe space circlejerk.
RYM = competitive arms race to true patricianhood circlejerk.
>>63311648
let me guess, last.fm banned you for flaming random people who listen to bad music
