Chris AgusaGUEST
So it appears that public figures are having artist profiles created for them on Spotify without their consent and having hundreds of AI-generated music tracks uploaded.
Chris AgusaGUEST
In a follow-up reel, they also found that the same issue is happening across nearly every other streaming platform, not just Spotify, so including Apple Music, Amazon Music, and even Tidal and Qobuz.
Chris AgusaGUEST
Now, I went and searched several of the artist profiles that they mentioned, and it looks like the AI music has been removed from them.
Chris AgusaGUEST
So I can't necessarily verify this, but I think it's very likely that plenty more of these cases probably exist.
Drew BairdHOST
I've made some changes because, you know, you had to correct for this, that, and the other thing.
Drew BairdHOST
And then they played for me the final versions that would maybe be divvied up to go to either, this is going to vinyl, this is going to digital, this is going to Spotify or Tidal or Qobuz and so forth.
Drew BairdHOST
And it's amazing how much better the original recording before any of the process and all this other stuff sounds.
Drew BairdHOST
And I'm just like, Why can't we do more of this? And, you know, I sent you an email with that Rolling Stones song where the Rolling Stones actually make a mistake and they, you know, they laugh and joke and they start over and keep going.
Tom MartinHOST
compared with, say, 45 years for CD and 75 years for LP.
Tom MartinHOST
And of course, the use of systems to play streams have followed the advent of services like Tidal and Qobuz.
Tom MartinHOST
So high quality package streaming systems have been in our consciousness for five years, seven years.
Tom MartinHOST
We also have the problem of the technical role of the server streamer.
Tom MartinHOST
The server part is not too challenging.
Tom MartinHOST
We're organizing and playing files that have been ripped from CD or downloaded and stored on hard disk or solid state drive.
Tom MartinHOST
The streamer part is a bit fuzzier for some people, but basically the streamer provides a user interface to choose music from a service like Qobuz And it provides the means to convert the electronic stream from that service to a form that your D to A converter can process.
Tom MartinHOST
When you have both, you can have a consolidated library from local files and multiple streaming services.
Matt CoykendallHOST
A transport like this has one job.
Matt CoykendallHOST
It's just going to pull music, and that's going to be from Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, a NAS, a drive plugged straight into it.
Matt CoykendallHOST
And it's just going to hand that digital signal to a DAC as cleanly as it possibly can.
Matt CoykendallHOST
No volume knob, no amp section, nothing really else going on.
Matt CoykendallHOST
AES, coax, optical, and I2S over HDMI.
Matt CoykendallHOST
Two things that are actually new here, though, the Ethernet port jumps from a standard gigabit on the T8 to a 2.5 gig on the T10.
Matt CoykendallHOST
That's not really going to do a whole lot for your Tidal or Qobuz stream in most cases, but it does speed up scanning and managing a large local library within your network.
Matt CoykendallHOST
And there's also a pair of external clock inputs, accepting a 10 or a 25 megahertz reference signal with selectable impedance.
Lars MurrayHOST
Our Song of the Week is their latest single from that album.
Lars MurrayHOST
It's called Dobro, and it's on our Unlimited Supply official podcast playlist on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Qobuz.
Lars MurrayHOST
There's a link in the show notes.
Lars MurrayHOST
If you have a song to submit for Song of the Week, let me know.
AaronHOST
The tracks on this EP from the sessions of their last album Inland Empire with some tweaking and editing on top of it.
AaronHOST
Originally released as a two track exclusive on Qobuz.
AaronHOST
But this Drag City release also contains a third bonus track.
AaronHOST
I just played the title track, Isle Peaks.
Lars MurrayHOST
The song we have chosen as this week's Song of the Week is Kiwi Jr.'s Pure Michigan.
Lars MurrayHOST
It's on our Unlimited Supply official podcast playlist on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Qobuz.
Lars MurrayHOST
There's a link in the show notes.
Lars MurrayHOST
If you have a song you want to submit for Song of the Week, let me know.
Ed SelleyHOST
Some of them are unlistenably bad because the theme they're touching on is unlistenably bad, but you pay your money, you take the choice.
Ed SelleyHOST
Qobuz is still in a class of its own for that.
Ed SelleyHOST
At the other end of these things, if you don't want humans to be involved in it at all and you're just looking for an algorithm, I liked this, so where do I go from here? Spotify's got that absolutely wrapped up with bells on and a ribbon around it.
Ed SelleyHOST
People have gone, oh, no, Apple Music's made some huge progress and so on and so forth.
Brad SundbergHOST
Our channel is small enough that we don't take too many hits.
Brad SundbergHOST
But some very nice people said, you know, Brad, if you're going to do streaming, you probably should bump it up a little bit and either get into like Qobuz Or we've got to talk about high-quality DACs and all that.
Brad SundbergHOST
So that's where we're going to go today.
Brad SundbergHOST
This is not going to be old Uncle Leo, I hope, in his leather chair sipping cognac and talking about sampling rates and all that.
Brad SundbergHOST
This is something that's very approachable and I dare say would will deliver some of the cleanest audio you've ever heard, especially for the money.
Brad SundbergHOST
So let's get into streaming.
Brad SundbergHOST
I don't want to bog you down too much with different, you know, with Qobuz and Tidal and Spotify and all that.
Brad SundbergHOST
I'm going to talk about Qobuz just a little bit.
Sean AdamsHOST
So this has been the Drowned in Sound podcast, hosted by me, Sean Adams from Drowned in Sound and produced by Georgia Mooney.
Sean AdamsHOST
I will put a playlist together from suggestions from Harriet and Effie all about British Pride as part of our partnership with Qobuz and every week we make a companion playlist and this week is around the theme of British Pride and they've picked tunes by The Clash, songs by Lily Allen I think there's an Oasis tune in there.
Sean AdamsHOST
There's all sorts of things.
Sean AdamsHOST
Songs just for them made them think of the joy of being English slash British and the kind of music that we make on these aisles.
Sean AdamsHOST
You can find that playlist at dranninsound.org forward slash playlists and get yourself a 30-day free trial to Qobuz, which are the more ethical streaming platform who pay four times more than the other streaming platforms themselves.
Sean AdamsHOST
and they have human curators and our playlists each week are another form of human curation.
Sean AdamsHOST
So that's dranninsound.org forward slash playlist to grab your free trial and to listen to the companion playlist for this week.
