| I think it's an A/B test of trial vs free.

| You have to click on 'free', go to

| Can we stop advertising time-limited singup-requiring trials as

| You know that how?
| seemslegit wrote:
| Because I saw them advertising that, on their site, which I
| browsed to, for the purpose of viewing pornography.

| You mean you actually saw naked people?

| I see no "free" on that page. The only thing, which is free, is
| the first month. Then it costs EUR 16.90/month.

| Even that link draws a distinction between the 'classical

| fortran77 wrote:
| Listen, if you want to call all Western Art music
| "classical" go right ahead. In fact, pop stuff like "Andrea
| Bocelli" and "The Piano Guys" gets lumped into "classical"
| too.

| Sounds like a pointless hill to die on IMO, even if it is

| distinctions from.
|
| I've never understood why people selectively allow broad
| context for most things, except for some pet subjects.
| The label programmers vs developers vs engineers is a
| good example, when the majority of people know what
| you're referring to. Making the distinction insignificant
| far more often than not.
|
| Edit: Do you think Google really has 1700 "engineers"
| working on the coronavirus testing website? (probably
| not, that likely includes UX, designers, management,
| etc). Does it matter to the expected audience? (no).
| lozenge wrote:
| It's difficult to imagine how any team of 1,700 could

|
| I read the project got 1,700 volunteer applications, not
| actual commitments.

| In popular usage, the term classical refers to all european

| Strictly speaking not all music written before 1900. There

| some point of course, but that has always been the case
| (Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is four parts rock and one part
| opera, and the Radetzky-Marsch has all the makings of a hit
| pop record -- well, back in those days at least).

| 1: My apologies if that song got stuck in your head now.

| Great project. My only nitpick is that their content is not

| nice if there was some kind of licensing planned for the many
| decades between short and mid-term monetization and the
| eventual expiry of copyright on these recordings.
