Spotify wrapped

After reading the 2005 piece on iPods im very curious how people organize their as Spotify

Do you like every album that you want in your collection, using it like the old itunes/a record collection? Do you like individual songs and use that playlist? Do you put everything in custom themed playlists? Do you not save anything, and just use the search function plus your memory?
"liking" songs as a function is pretty use as a log for me, going to through albums i will of course like the ones i want to hear again, and i can search my likes for an artist and then shuffle those songs, so the "likes" can act as a playlist function on its own, but for artists who are my favotires i will make a playlist of the music i like from them. as for albums, i save ones i like of course, but i usually just try to buy the physical copy so i can listen to that, having a physical collection helps my memory more than saving something digitally.... it is so easy to forget about some albums and never come back to them when i just save it on a platform

I liked reading upthread about how the oldheads put their iPods on shuffle and got a retrospective of their musical lives

You could maybe do that with Spotify liked songs if you used the platform long enough.

I do something a little different which is I add all the songs I like in a given year to a playlist titled 202X. But I'm not sure what the real advantages are to doing it this way.

so, Spotify ripping off real musicians by commissioning GHOST ARTISTS hasn't entered the dissensus radar? yet?

Spotify’s plot against musicians

^^^^^^^^^
an essential read

TLDR; Spotify management are CUNTS who have realised most people don't care what they listen to, they have rigged the ambient / lo-fi hip hop playlists with fake artists they pay per tune so they can rake in profit for themselves

they call it PFC: PERFECT FIT CONTENT

^^^^^^^

EVIL

Never really explored it fully. Suits a playlist compiler obsessive, no harm in such yet lends to slowly giving up/away more of a music collection over to an online option (cliched theme at this stage) and by default moving out of phone signal causes hiccups. Eg my favourite rare missions out alone walking are all Peak District based when the opportunity allows. Lose signal and lose music? Fuck that, mp3 player it. Equally, when people dig and find what they like, you can end up with behemoths, eg



Think of it more as simply being ‘around’ and never in the car, tbf it can be one way to access age restricted content for concerts/interviews on other platforms without needing to create an account. Stumbled on a rich seam of pods after DannyL’s interview on What Magic Is This(?) tangenting from a post on Woebot’s joyfully enlightening Counterculture text

Revenue ratios though? Unreal. How is it legal? Same time, who hasnt pirated? Hypocrite writing ..
