These 3 services can help you transfer playlists between music streaming services

Music streaming services are not standardised like RSS readers, which have OPML files for easily exporting and importing feeds between different readers (I wonder why not). So, this makes it difficult to easily switch to another music streaming service and just pick up where you left off with your 1,000+ collection of songs and playlists.

But there are at least three services which will help you do this, namely Soundiiz (at https://soundiiz.com/), TuneMyMusic (at https://www.tunemymusic.com/), and SongShift (for iOS only at https://songshift.com/).

Most offer a free limited service, but as one suggested, you just sign up for a month and then cancel it before the end of the month.

And there are probably many more such services, but hopefully this makes it easier for anyone to break free from their lock-in if they wish to.

Digitally Imported (DI.FM) - Electronic Pioneers
#Ambient #Electronica #ElectronicMusic #Pioneers #DigitallyImported #FM #MusicStreaming

Do you like bands and musicians such as Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Pete Namlook, Jean-Michel Jarre, Steve Roach, Kraftwerk, Software and many others? If so, di.fm's Electronic Pioneers channel is for you! If you listen to it with an ad blocker such as uBlock Origin installed, you'll never hear a commercial; even with a free account! However, subscribing will allow you to stream in higher quality.

I love listening to the Electronic Pioneers channel when I'm on my computer or doing other things around the house. Then, if I'm reading, I'll listen to more laid back channels such as Ambient and Space Dreams. They're less intrusive and actually help me focus when I'm reading.

I quite like most of Tangerine Dream's material. Same with Klaus Schulze and Steve Roach. Kraftwerk, though they were quite influential in their day, is hit and miss for me. I tend to like their purely instrumental tracks better. However, there are a couple of tracks with vocals that I don't mind. That channel also plays Wendy Carlos's covers of classical music. I enjoy that stuff too.

Which electronic bands/musicians are your favorite?
