It is, in fact, all original work. Much of it has never been off the hard drive it was generated on (the stuff by local models), and when Riffusion got bought out they deleted all the stuff their users had generated so my local copies of those are the only ones left. The metadata is in sidecar .json files, except for the Udio tracks which were in .txt files that first needed to be converted to .json. All very ad-hoc stuff to begin with.
Also, it looks like Dropped Needle is aiming to make the music available for streaming through things like Jellyfin. That’s not what I wanted, I wanted to make a web site specifically so that I could control the layout and contents for when I share it with friends (many of whom are not technically savvy and so only know how to click on a web URL).
This really wasn’t a “just use pre-existing application X” situation. Even if there had been one that could handle all of that, configuring it would have taken just as much work as explaining to the coding AI what I wanted.
Yes, AI generated. Use whatever word makes you happy, it really doesn’t matter to me. The key point is that it’s not music that would be on any existing catalogue anywhere. There’s no way to “look it up” anywhere. The only metadata that exists for those tracks are in the files on my own computer.

You’re saying original work but then also saying “generated on” and referencing local models.
So like. AI generated?
Yes, AI generated. Use whatever word makes you happy, it really doesn’t matter to me. The key point is that it’s not music that would be on any existing catalogue anywhere. There’s no way to “look it up” anywhere. The only metadata that exists for those tracks are in the files on my own computer.
slop
Okay. So presumably you now feel happy.
What does using that word change about the practical matters being discussed here? Any effect at all?
Yeah.
Your slop used to organize your other slop is slop.
It’s not a home cooked meal.
It’s slop. Passed off as not slop.
Because artists make music, and a human can write software to do what they need to do. Just like a real home cooked meal is made by a human.
So enjoy your home cooked meal of slop but in my house we say #NeverSlop
Alright, got the name-calling tantrum out of your system? I’ll go back to doing exactly what I was doing before, now.
Heard, but stop trying to pass slop off as “original work”
Be real with yourself and others when you describe it. Hope this helps!
Nope, didn’t help or harm in the slightest. As I said, going back to what I was doing before, this exchange was pointless.
