MixCloud VS Noiseblend

That makes sense. I hadn't thought about their route. Could I test that by doing a traceroute to mixcloud.com with and without the VPN? Source: over 1 year ago

I've been having a bizarre Spectrumin NYC upload issue. When I try to upload a music podcast to a few sites, like mixcloud.com and others, I get timeout issues, very slow uploads, and general instability. I have gigabit internet with 40Mbs up, and the file size is 50MB which is not significant. Source: over 1 year ago

I like mixcloud.com for my music. It's free for basic use plus I tire of hearing the same tracks over and over. Search what you like and you'll find shows playing whatever genre you're into. Source: over 1 year ago

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but there's a mixtape artist Oonops on Brooklyn Radio. (I listen to it on mixcloud.com). It's him and a bunch of guest DJs, and he's got a ton of content. But one of his series is called "smokey jazz sessions". Some of it is more conventional jazz, but there's a lot of samples you'd probably recognize, and there's also a lot of hip hop woven in.

Your best bet is to post to mixcloud.com or soundcloud.com They have license arrangements with everybody and as long as you're not trying to snatch credit for somebody else's original work, you will be just fine. Source: over 1 year ago

I also worked for 8 months on a music discovery webapp called Noiseblend that uses Spotify. We were never accepted for their commercial program and were not allowed to ask for money on the website. Source: 12 months ago

My most ambitious web project was https://noiseblend.com which is a web app for discovering music on Spotify. It’s a next.js + React slow and memory hungry mess [1] which could have been static HTML with some JS for the dynamic bits. Experience taught me to keep it simple nowadays, but I had to go through the Noiseblend mistakes first. The stack is Python with Sanic for the backend, Postgres for db and Redis for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I’m serving everything from the Spotify API directly on Noiseblend (https://noiseblend.com) and rate limit has never been a problem. When a request fails because of a rate limit, Spotify responds with 429 and a Retry-After header so you know when to schedule the next request. In my tests, that header never had a value greater than 10 seconds, and 429 responses were very rare. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I've been using this site ever since I discovered it! I'm glad to see it featured on HN. I started learning to play the Romanian Kaval [1] last summer and Songdata helped me enormously in finding good backing tracks to improvise on. I'm mostly improvising on chillhop tracks right now because I'm trying to develop less traditional rhythms (although I'm still clumsy with the breathing and knowing when to keep the... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
