#52Cool idea, we need a way to stream the playlist!
Re: Bop Spotter
#53How do I join the party? Is there a quickstart so you can hear the vibes of Berlin? [edit: It would be awesome if others could collaborate on this and had a guide on how to do it!]
I recommend you sit this one out, as recording people, even if only audio and sending the sound over the internet is very much against the law in germany
Would that not mean that Shazaam is illegal Germany? From my limited searching it doesn't seem like it is.
Re: Bop Spotter
#54I think this is really cool, and am surprised by some of the negative comments here
Re: Bop Spotter
#55> But it's not about catching criminals. It's about catching vibes. Love this so much.
I guess it will mostly reflect the musical taste of assholes who turn their music up loud. Hmm, but maybe all culture works like that.
It might reflect different attitudes between cultures as to what volume makes one an "asshole".

Shazam is not illegal in Germany unless I missremember what the app does and instead of being to identify songs based on samples, it's being used to record people

I guess no one with loud music considers themself an asshole, so this should be actually giving the information on exactly what you mention.

Any volume which makes your music become my music too without my consent is at asshole level.

If you select a title, you can play the full recording that led to the song being recognized. It's not just the song metadata that is recorded and uploaded to the website, but all the captured audio.
Ah I did not realize that. But again - if you have issues with your public statements and activities being, well, public - then you probably should not be doing these things in public in the first place. Nobody's being tracked here, I'm not aware of some data model being built up, of specific songs played by specific individuals, with time and date and location being attached to it. If you want to shout out your bank…
That's not how things work in many countries, so it's a legit statement to find it creepy and dangerous, even though it is not illegal in the US.
Re: Bop Spotter
#60Now this is a unique idea.
I'd like to see this rolled out widely so we can get some map of music.
