#songkick — Public Fediverse posts

Goddamnit, #Songkick has been bought by #Suno which seems to be a bullshit #AI music generator, who seem like they would have no interest in tracking live music other than to sabotage it.

both Songkick and Bandcamp have now been bought out. I'm nervous. Enjoying music (without being trapped) is hard enough as it is. #music #bandcamp #songkick

Is there a Songkick for films? I need one. #songkick #cinema

New blog post: An open letter to Bandcamp

"Thank you so much for taking a stance against generative AI and banning AI-generated music from Bandcamp."

"Suno is, of course, the biggest platform for making generative AI music, the very thing you are banning from your site."

"Hope to see an alternative pop up that is more in line with your Bandcamp Fair Trade Music Policy."

So I'm currently trying out bandsintown.com. It's an okay-ish replacement for #Songkick, but not a great one.

- You can import your favorite artists from Spotify, Apple Music, etc. but not from Bandcamp.
- You can follow concert locations, which is nice.
- I'm missing "I'm interested"/"I'm going" for events (and use that history for recommendations as well)
- Same for "Don't recommend band/genre"

(I have so many more ideas about recommendations!)

Pour info si vous avez déjà utilisé SongKick pour suivre le passage d'artistes en concerts prêt de chez vous c'est maintenant Suno, l'entreprise d'IA, qui aura la main sur vos données.

Suno a mis la main sur les 10-15 millions d'utilisateurs du site.

Sur Reddit on recommande https://www.concertarchives.org/ mais je n'ai pas testé.

En attendant je vais supprimer mon compte. Si vous voulez faire pareil c'est en bas de cette page https://www.songkick.com/settings/account-settings #songkick #concerts

⚠️PSA to my fellow music folks⚠️

#Songkick has been acquired by #Suno and will transfer your data to them without your consent if you still have an account on their website.

Suno takes over Songkick, ooRay deletes Songkick.
Run, Forrest, run from GenAI.....
Bye #GenAI #Suno #Songkick

"Suno is now the ‘controller’ of Songkick user data – and is hiring a GM to wire it into its AI music platform"

https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/suno-is-now-the-controller-of-songkick-user-data-and-is-hiring-a-gm-to-wire-it-into-its-ai-music-platform/

"Suno has formally assumed control of Songkick user data — presumably including artist preferences and location information built up through years of Spotify integration. The news comes five months after Suno acquired the concert discovery platform from Warner Music Group."

I've been using #Songkick for a while now to track my favorite artists' concerts in my area. Unfortunately, it has now been sold to a AI music startup. I'm now looking for an alternative for concerts in Europe. Do you have any recommendations?

Well this sucks! I somehow missed this news until I got an email from Songkick today. I’m going to delete my account ASAP — I’m not willingly giving my data to an AI company!

Dopo anni di fidato servizio, mi tocca abbandonare #Songkick perché è stato comprato da una società che si occupa di creare musica con AI generativa (e ha pure una partnership con Warner Music)

https://zinstrel.substack.com/p/suno-bought-songkick-heres-why-thats

https://midance.it/suno-compra-songkick/

Because I love music. And I don‘t like suno and don’t want to support them in any way.

Haha. Non.
Et hop, encore un compte de fermé! 👋

Oh! Suno hat Songkick gekauft. Da kann ich meinen Account ja direkt löschen.

Habt Ihr Empfehlungen, was man statt dessen nutzen kann?

#Songkick #Suno

Trying out Songkick to keep track of touring artists, as I never really liked using Bandsintown years ago. The Songkick UI is already way better. Since I don't use Spotify, I just searched for and added all the artists I could think of that I'd want to see. I currently have 105. 😂 Not that I currently or recently make it out to many shows. But still.

Not gonna lie, #Songkick - you had me for a minute there… #RAtM

Am I the only one who thinks #Songkick is slowly becoming useless? It has notified me of new dates for Air when they were already sold out for three times now! #concert #music

Listening to Ezra Collective and wondering, “hmm, maybe they are on tour and coming to Stockholm.”

Turns out I missed them by SIX DAYS.

I need a better concert radar. Anyone know if #Songkick is good place to monitor stuff like this? Thanks!

One alternative I've found is #ConcertArchives, which offers functionality to import your gig history from #Songkick, and provides a lot of interesting statistics. Alas, there is no API, but you can export your data as CSV. My profile is https://www.concertarchives.org/whatisbetter

@metabrainz thank you! I'm very slowly working through my #Songkick past concerts list and manually adding them to #MusicBrainz. It's going to be time-consuming, given the Songkick API isn't an option these days, though I am looking forward to the trip down memory lane. Here is my progress so far https://musicbrainz.org/collection/ca2688ed-3442-3843-a72e-da2933c77496

Over the years I have been to a lot of gigs and festivals, and the only record I have of this is #Songkick. However, these days their API is very restrictive as they don't give access for hobbyist or education use. Furthermore, they want to charge existing apps, including Songkick Export2Excel, a hefty $500 per month for API access, which has left me thinking - what alternatives are there? https://www.change.org/p/grant-the-songkick-export2excel-app-access-to-the-songkick-database-again
