My Yule Present Arthur takes Merlin out into the lower town to spend some time at the market where the people already celebrate Yuletide. He’s secretly buying a gift for his manservant because it’s about time Merlin gets a warmer scarf for the cold month ahead. For Winterknights 2019.

What the FUCK is going on with platforms closing major fandom archives with almost no fucking notice this month, jesus fucking christ, first Y! groups now 8 Tracks.

Well, if you have any fucking 8 Tracks playlists, you’d better download them as soon as possible, because you have FOUR FUCKING DAYS before they’re deleted.

The automatic spotify exporter, btw, works like absolute dogshit if you’re trying for any playlists that have filk, fan covers, niche remixes, classical music, or anything spotify doesn’t own licenses on.

And hey, 8 Hacks can only download the first 5 songs in playlists before it freezes out and gives up so fucking good luck I guess

[intersex-ionality]

Don’t buy into this fucking sob story they’re giving about how their “hands are tied” by the woes of extreme debt.

They raised 2 million dollars in donations for their staff’s unfulfilled backpay and then couldn’t be bothered to funnel it into paying the employees that they had not paid in months, and now the cowardly little fuckers are shutting their entire website with 5 days notice (they announced this yesterday), as if it somehow comes as a surprise to them too.

At least Y! groups had the common decency to give us a couple of fucking weeks.

8tracks shot itself in the foot by making change after change to punish their own user base, only reverting to sensible monetization systems years too late, and then blaming fucking spotify, as if it’s spotify’s fault that it offers a free-with-ads introductory service while 8tracks decided to waffle between half a dozen different equally incompetent monetization schemes ranging from “no free listening at all” to “only free listening, but not more than 6 hours a week” to “buy some of our $33 million worth of investor shares and then you can listen to whatever you want” to who fuckign even knows what else.

They did this to themselves.

And then they were too cowardly to offer their user base–both historic AND current–the opportunity to save our collections of music, some of which is ltierally impossible to source anywhere else because the fan artists who made it have disappeared entirely. By offering 5 days notice, an export tool that doesn’t work, and no download tools.

This is the most shameful, cowardly bullshit I’ve seen in a long fucking time. To say nothing of the fact that while they announced it on their social media and blog pages, they decided to wait a full day or more to actual email account holders directly (for example, my own email only arrived at 5:30PM this evening).

They gave us 120 hours, and then suctioned off another 20 or 30 just because they couldn’t copy paste their blog into an email blast.

Anyway, good luck getting your shit off 8tracks before 11:59:59 PM (23:59:59) on December 31st, because you’ll need it. We all fucking will.

The spotify exporter is working at this time, as is the text file tracklist download

However, obviously, you could upload songs to 8tracks. So if a particular song is not already on spotify or if you had to upload it yourself and the track is titled slightly differently (and there was at least one on every playlist i checked), it won’t transfer over.

[ruffboi-mags]

Also a heads up - a song that IS on spotify but was titled the same as the album was replaced by the first track on the album for some reason.

DEFINITELY download the text file of the track list even if the whole thing appears to export properly to spotify, so that you can double-check it and fix any accidental song replacements.

[archivedmemorie]

I was also very upset by this news. Two of the playlists I tried to move to Spotify were completely empty. Many songs were missing from the playlists that were transferred to Spotify. I suspect the case is as cited by poster vergess “The automatic spotify exporter, btw, works like absolute dogshit if you’re trying for any playlists that have filk, fan covers, niche remixes, classical music, or anything spotify doesn’t own licenses on.” It is so sad that so much of this music will become unavailable and die.
