Do I have to convert my mp3 file to mp4 by adding blackout video track using handbrake ?

    I upload a lyric video to YouTube, but I don’t have a band so I just write the lyrics and have a robot help me.

    Honestly, as easy as it is now, I really truly feel sorry for artists who are trying to make a living. I just do it for fun, but man-- the whole music industry and everything else is likely to be automated within the decade

    (I just discovered suno like last week)

      I wanted to just post an mp3 file to Lemmy. But it doesn’t work I remembered there was a website called “bandcamp” I tried that You had to go through the whole rigamarole of creating an account then you upload the file but no, it wants a flac file not an mp3 and it wants a title image, but 1024x1024 is not good enough, it’s minimum 1400x1400 so I just upscale my image in some other software

      and finally I could post, the link to a bandcamp, that apparently is only good for 200 playback ?! And they probably have ads and stuff too and are going to get people to subscribe and whatnot

      All that just to post an mp3 file like I did here

      Why doesn’t Lemmy just take mp3 files when it does mp4 video files ?! It’s weird and annoying !

        🤷🏻‍♂️

        I agree it’s not ideal; just offering an alternative that also allows lyric embedding.

        Pretty sweet tunes, lol. I dig it

          Thanks I liked “Time is Money (Not actually in the style of the B-52s. Was just the last style prompt I used, lol)” it feels true.

          Yes, it does seem posting the whole ready made mp4 is easier than starting from a sound file.

          I think it’s because all the tech bros forgot that just because you can have a video track doesn’t mean sound files are useless !

          Well, I do want to figure out my own music visualization engine. One of my friend was a collector of those karaoke songs and he had a big suite of cool music visualisation software to go with it. I’d going to try and dig this up.
