Joke’s on you, got an air fryer for Christmas and I’m roasting potatoes every day, never bought so many potatoes in my life. They’re absolutely delicious.

New comment by mrzool in "Beets: The music geek’s media organizer"

mrzool — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 12:47:24 +0000

> * brand new indie label releases (bandcamp)

> * commercial albums variants missing from musicbrainz/discogs

I fixed those two by adding the missing releases to the database beets uses as its data source (musicbrainz.org), and importing the album in Beets afterwards. I still get notifications for edits to entries I contributed over a decade ago!

You take the same cut from big players and give the smaller ones a break. I think Valve could afford that without any issue.

> How much do you think they should take?

A 15–20% fee would be much fairer in my opinion. They’d still be making plenty of money while letting developers keep more of what they earn through their hard work. At the very least, they should differentiate between big players and smaller indie developers.
