@Gao I've not listened to Minamotoya in ages ;_; I really need to merge my pre-HS X playlist and my post-HS X playlist together. I've noticed a few people in the JCore scene do the inverse of what you're thinking and use aliases to produce music in different genres -- so you go "huh USAO and Shandy Kubota are the same person?! The styles are so different!"

The comments under Kobaryo's latest releases are kinda funny for this. "Kobaryo & Matatabi Sound System + DJ NECOJITA + Shinonome I/F + blaxervant - fun TIME" aka "Kobaryo & Kobaryo Sound System + DJ Kobaryo + Kobaryo I/F + Kobaryo - fun TIME"

wait how did i have no idea srezcat and dj necojita were both just kobaryo

how many aliases does he have

i've also heard kors k has a ton of aliases but i think i've only heard teranoid

Ok I fkn hate Spotify. kors k's profile seems normal. teranoid's is missing a ton of songs (HS5 TR3 TE SBGT) and Eagle's profile seems to be merge with someone else.

@Peilonrayz what are pre/post-HS X playlist?

@Peilonrayz lol so you can have a "Kobaryo x Kobaryo feat. Kobaryo"

yeah spotify is just a disaster sometimes

iirc there's a kors k remix on one of the shandy bass albums that's just credited to "kors"

@UnrelatedString lol you're right -.-

💀

@UnrelatedString & @Gao What do you use for music?

i mostly use spotify but occasionally use youtube and historically relied mostly on youtube

if there's something in particular i'm hunting down that isn't on either of those i figure out some or another way to torrent it

but that doesn't happen very often

Ah, looks like we're in very similar boats.

having very recently started listening to music on my phone instead of just at home i have considered trying to rely less on streaming if for no other reason than to save some cellular data, but haven't gotten around to it yet :P

FWIW you can download songs to not use cellular data with Spotify -- settings page and playlist page (the green down arrow)

i'm pretty sure that's a premium feature :(

i use blockthespot on desktop and desktop is still where i do most of my listening so i just kinda put up with ads and smart shuffle on my phone lol

Ah, mb mb

@Peilonrayz Spotify Freemium and YouTube. I used to use a Chinese music streaming service called Xiami. It had a lot of very obscure Touhou music and a music recognition feature comparable to Shazam, but it was shut down. It was not a fun experience trying to salvage my playlist track titles from the smartphone app cache using OCR software...
