How about publishing them on a website and making a single post about it here?

You know you can just block me whenever you want.
That's not why I made my comment.
I was being serious. For example, the search facilities on the fediverse are rudimentary at best. Finding a post of yours, even if you remember enough of it, is far from trivial. Hosting the content for that reason alone would make a better user experience.
Another consideration is a concept of signal to noise. How much of your contribution to the fediverse would be this data stream, and how much would be other content, like comments and unrelated posts?
Then there's the resource aspect. Your feed would propagate throughout the fediverse and consume potentially exponentially more resources than a website would and we'd be paying for it, rather than you.
That's some of the reasons why I made my suggestion.

I'm gonna be honest with you dawg, it's baffling to me as to what the fediverse is for, in your opinion, if not for posting on it. Right now, after me blocking a bunch of US political communities, my feed is dominated by shitposts, and I don't think people have problems with that content.
1 post per day
I think one post per day is a great pace. "Song of the Day" kinda vibe.
Yeah. I don't upvote or interact unless I already know the song or am interested because I know the artist. Very very occasionally I'll get curious about something I've never heard of but it's rare.
I honestly don't know a reason to subscribe to a music community when it's not with an intent to discover new music.
Eh, I don't think it's worth measuring in clicks. Quality ≠ quantity.
But I'm coming at it from a listener's perspective. Getting more clicks isn't really on my mind.
Not sure I understand you. Is Aphex Twin better quality than AFX?
Sorry for the confusion; I think I see what you’re saying, now - In Aphex's case, specifically, my opinion would still be the one post but I would've said something like "AFX (aka Aphex Twin)" or (side project of Richard James / Aphex Twin).
Little more verbose, but helps people make that connection if they're not aware.
That's true, but it was such a magnificent opportunity to confirm what I already suspected: that vast majority of people here don't listen to music that they don't already know.
As for the quantity of clicks, I wouldn't post here if I didn't expect anyone to listen to those tracks. So it's a balance between posting outstanding obscure music and obvious mainstream clickbait.
So maybe the question is - what are you trying to achieve/why do you wish to contribute to the community? Are you trying to feed people something they're already familiar with, introduce & share something they don't know, both, or some other reason?
Do you actually need a measure of success e.g. clicks? Or is sharing and engaging with those who respond more significant for you? Knowing this will help you to feel like your effort is worthwhile.
Also, maybe the question should be - what music is everyone into? Rather than how many posts should I make?
I like that you asked how many posts per day as more than a few posts of any one topic per day can turn into noise for me, especially if dumped in a short space of time. So it's good to gauge a community's desire before going all in! that helps to build a better community & general experience :)
8192 posts per day
Imagine making eight thousands post per day.
Okay. Now what?
I've already made me a script to schedule posts. Although the rules of lemmy.world dictate that a bot shouldn't make more than one post a minute, which limits it to 1440 posts in 24 hours. I'd probably have to rent some proxies and run six copies of the script.
2 posts per day
4500 tracks or albums? 4500 albums is closer to 45000 tracks...?
You cant just say that and expect I have any idea how big this collection is.
At any rate, idk probably like 4 tops? I'd say 3.
I don't use either streaming services or local files, as both tend to lose data once in a while. Instead I keep the collection as notes in my note app, with links to various music sources. There are ~4500 notes, which variously denote tracks, albums, or artists. I post tracks and albums interchangeably, so the number does correspond pretty well to what I would post here if I went crazy about it.
Ok so 1. Every url is an address to something else's local file. I cannot fathom why you would be saying a local file "loses data." Thats not accurate. There is a small amount of data loss when you copy a file. Sometimes. But not always. Especially over a network (like... Downloading it from a URL. And if quality is your game and you're streaming?)
But that's neither here nor there.
- Yeah like 3 a day.
Anyways, you do you holmes.

I'd be fine with 4-5 posts a day but I'll bow to the will of the community.
