quote [ Your music files don?t just contain music. They also contain ?metadata?, consisting of ?tags? which consist of a tag name or type and associated data, for example the album or track name, the name of the artist, the record label, the year of issue etc. Unless you rip the music files yourself with a very basic tool, your music files probably already contain some basic metadata, however there are literally hundreds of tags that can be applied to your music if you are interested.
Obviously, if you wanted to you could painstakingly research all this information for each album and track individually, and type the data into a tagging tool, but clearly it makes more sense in this internet connected age for one person to do this for each album and track, to upload that data to a shared database and then for the tagging tool to access that database and use the data to tag the music files. And that is what MusicBrainz Picard does. ] Just in case there's anyone out there like me still using mp3s instead of streaming services.

Action in classical music: thumb is Maurizio Pollini clinging onto the page while sweating through a Stockhausen piece. There are multiple GIFs sprinkled through the article but none of them would load for me. Makes you wonder what they were about.

Free documentaries on the Latin American music scene from Buenos Aires club-turned-label ZZK records. The label features a range of cool electronic artists around the digital cumbia genre (like King Coya) and has it's own film division.
Learned about this from a crowdfuncding campaign about Bolivian singer Luzmila Carpio.

quote [ ?No doubt, there are sinister aspects to it,? Malkmus says of the cautious reading that Spotify might be promoting more neutral songs in artists? libraries ? to say nothing of the new tiered-royalty Autoplay adjustment, which was announced after the interviews for this story took place. ?But it?s nothing that I feel that we?re surprised at anymore.? ]
More bland is more better.
