Macvoices Audio

The MacVoices Live! panel  reacts to Spotify’s long-promised “lossless music” option, noting it trails Apple Music and Tidal, but may be “good enough” for phone/Bluetooth listeners. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencuis, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, and Norbert Frassa compare discovery and playlist culture (Spotify vs Apple; shout-out to Pandora), look at app quirks and OS updates, and discuss reports of users selling Spotify's Wrapped data for AI. The discussion wraps up with Bending Spoons’ plan to buy Vimeo and what its Evernote/FiLMiC history could mean for creators.  Show Notes: Today’s MacVoices is supported by Insta360 and their new GO Ultra, the tiny 4K camera that goes everywhere with you.
