Nice, thanks for the rec. I'd seen beets as well which also looks good.
Spotify is definitely the lowest hanging fruit for culling on my subscription list. The API was very much part of the value proposition.
I don't believe it's even that good a deal for artists. I heard the mighty Snoop Dogg makes like USD 40K a year off it or something stupid like that.

Snoop Dogg made USD 40k for one song, which also has multiple songwriters on it. There’s a good breakdown in [1].

Key phrase from that research:
> I'm not sure how much royalties you can expect when you're one of 17 credited songwriters on one song you don't even own which samples a song that also samples songs...I think $45k is pretty damned good.

What would be the non-stupid amount for Snoop Dogg to make off it?

I also want to add that MetaBrainz (the non-profit foundation that MusicBrainz and Picard are the base of) also have ListenBrainz, a music discovery platform that we built because of similar discontent over the way recommendations were going.
Also has the advantage of being free and open-source !
(I work with MetaBrainz)
Picard sets _all_ the metadata on the music and PlexAmp uses it to create playlists with the OpenAI API.
