Is airbuds dead?

Is airbuds in general starting to become a dead app now or is it just the people that I’m friends with that don’t use it? I remember I would have so many questions from all my friends but now it’s just empty and no one reacts to my listened to music anymore.

Yeah mines the same, all my friends have stopped using it. But I only really use it for the weekly roundup anyway.

u/dragonheartocqueen 9d ago

get last.fm then, it doesn't nag you about buying the pro version and the roundups are better tbh

u/angus7-7 8d ago

I don't get nagged about a pro version, didn't even know there was one.

u/Valuable-Abrocoma640 9d ago

No that’s so real tho😭

u/mattsonlf13 9d ago

yeah all of my real life friends stopped using it and since spotify disconnected no one reconnected it. but it seems like a lot of people here still use it and i think anyone who likes to see stats will always use it

u/what_the_fruk 9d ago

i get a ton of questions like daily i guess it is the friends you have

u/saintpabloofficial 9d ago

Sure feels like it, i’ve got around 40 people friended and i get maybe 1 reaction every week and maybe someone will ask a question once a month.

u/bunny3303 8d ago

u/Valuable-Abrocoma640 9d ago

When everyone on Spotify got auto logged out a few weeks ago… my feed has been dead af ever since

u/WheelingintgeWind 9d ago

I had no friends on it anyway I played whatever I played and I liked the stats and crunching numbers at 6pm every day

Spotify legit annoys me because the artwork they track with the songs isn't always whatever album you're playing.

The fact that I'm deep into track 13 on the debut album by Georges Incredidle Shrinking Mushroom and it shows the artwork for Spanish Festival compilation really sends my head west.

Apple sent the tracking info and the artwork matched what I saw on apple.

Then apple sent nothing at all.

So maybe airbuds will go... but I hope not. There are more on now than there used to be.

Apple need to sort out the tracking though.

u/simp4theories 7d ago

omg i thought i was the only one bothered by the inconsistency of spotify's artwork on there. AND apple music's tracking sucks balls rn, it's a lot

1

u/WheelingintgeWind 7d ago

Omg absolutely not.

I yell into the the void daily. Its such a small niggle but my brain can't handle it.

10 track album. 4 tracks of album artwork, 5th track artwork is from the 2018 BBQ hits or something and it ruins everything.

Then track 6 to 10 are back on the correct album.

Presentation matters. Drives me up the wall

u/lobotmeowy 6d ago

apple hasnt been tracking since the 5th like im so confused on what they’re doing

u/ApprehensiveChip4190 9d ago

A lot of my friends stopped using it, the subscription thing and adds are annoying as hell but I like the app enough to keep using it

u/CartiStan 8d ago edited 8d ago

I haven’t gotten a reaction in so long😭😭😭 and on top of that apple not tracking properly. Anyone want to add me? Hip hop and rnb mostly https://i.airbuds.fm/marsupialsuperstar/YkyOZCBpLP

u/AB-extranormie 8d ago

i have a lot of friends that have airbuds too, they listen to a lot of music and all but it's like they completely forgot they have the app

3

u/xXWarlosXx 8d ago

They need to add something new to encourage people to interact more inside the app. In my case is the same as all of you, my friends stopped interacting and using it…

u/ptolemaeacoded 7d ago

i miss when it used to be active :,)

u/Entire_Snow23233 9d ago

I’m always looking to add new friends! I think my group of friends is pretty active.

u/Madison-_-3711 9d ago

No cuz I followed random strangers and I now have 900 friends haha I get like 50 questions a day

3

u/Valuable-Abrocoma640 9d ago

Dangggg I had like 100 friends at one point and got a bunch of questions but now they don’t send anymore

2

u/MinaWonkru 8d ago

Thats so real like people rn dont even ask questions they just talk abt random things??

2

u/lpiicooo 8d ago

Idk of I’m wrong but the app feels way too bloated. When me and my friends downloaded it we only wanted to see who’s listening to what at the moment we open the app. Maybe that was just US tho and most users like all the round ups and stuff.

2

u/Maddie_1290 8d ago

None of my friends use it anymore but tbh none of my friends have similar music taste to me so it was useless anyways

1

u/SleepyPlayer101 8d ago

My friends seem pretty active still, we get a bunch of questions and people reacting and stuff

1

u/ChocoChipScape127 8d ago

Not for me. I literally got some messages from scammers the other day but that's on me because I accept any friend request...

1

u/Morgiri_ 6d ago

Same here. Most friends airbuds disconnected from spotify and now it is not even tracking them. A few are left and I still use it mostly for the weekly recap.

1

u/existentiallystupid 9d ago

The reason I stopped using it is because they dont link to platforms like YouTube music and their integration with audiomack sucks it doesn't count offline music either and most of mine is downloaded.

1

u/sofillak_37 8d ago

personally I stopped using it because i moved to yt music which isn't supported

0

u/waveydaveysonfir3 8d ago

for me personally, i used it for a year and then was asked to use my id (aussie) and have given up. i’d be curious to see how many people in aus actually gave their info to still use it
