  • This is the way.

    I always cleaned the silicone pads with warm water and soap, though. Just put them in the sink, apply water and soap, and use a brush to clean it. Dry it up with a paper towel and slap it a few times on the counter to get the water out of any cracks.

    If you don’t want to have to clean it at all, don’t hold the remote in your hand all day. Condensation will happen.

    Also, remotes of smokers are nasty, but soap and water works like a charm here as well.

    Use Isopropyl for the electronics. Don’t use thinner or anything aggressive. It will just desintegrate the contacts.

    As soon as you have to fix the contacts, it’s usually better to get a replacement. But if you clean your remote once you have to press harder, the contacts will survive. It’s usually from pressing too hard because the contact is bad from dirt.

    If you have trouble opening it, twist the remote a bit until it opens or you get enough space between the top and bottom to insert a preying tool.

    Watch for eventual screws under labels or in the battery compartment first.

    Now, weeks after partnering with Universal Music Group to develop a “new economic model for music streaming,” the Block-owned platform has officially ended the Direct Artist Payouts (DAP) program.

    Yeah, they made a deal with the devil it seems

    UMG is the main actor with the 360 deals for artists. And that’s just the top of the iceberg. The Diddy case might show the bottom.



  • A music app like Spotify founded by Jay-Z.

    The proposal was to pay the artists more.

    Sounds good, but I think the majority goes to the labels anyways, so it doesn’t change much for the artists.

    The main issue is executives basically enslaving their artists with “360 deal” contracts.
