  • Also, one big problem with this is copyright

    It could work as a music sales service too though. Have software that matches the tracks in the playlist to tracks in your library, maybe with a confirmation / manual match dialogue, and a link to the equivalent of iTunes to buy any missing tracks.

    Give the option to buy albums too, so if someone sends you a playlist with a new Billie Eyelash single, for example, it could also recommend the album it’s from.

    For those of us with large libraries, we just match the songs, but it’s got the potential to make money for the artists too. I believe that Discogs and MusicPicard? can match tracks to albums, and link to artists stores, so at least part of the sales side exists already :)



  • I like the idea of it, but I wouldn’t trust a camera from Xiaomi. I’ve got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g phone, and the camera is a pain to use. There’s about a 50/50 chance of a photo taken using the zoom to have random artifacts over the image. I’ve had some great photos ruined by it. It happened with my wife’s Mi 10t Lite too, so it’s not just my phone.

    They removed features from the software too. One of the reasons that I chose this phone was because it had a burst mode on the camera, and I had a young child. After the phone was out of warranty, one of the updates removed the burst function. It also resets the settings if you switch apps or lock the screen. I was using the star trails mode last night, and switched to an astrophotography app to check I was pointing the phone the right way, and when I switched back, the camera was back to the default settings. Not great if you want to use one of the other modes.
