No thread for 2016 -> 4032 -> 8064 -> 16132? Surely some time travel mistake!
I heard this in 2016, I liked it

hey I was thinking maybe it'd be fun to let a "fake" spotify account run through all the ilx-list tracks and then do a weekly "listening to the discover playlist of the ilx-spotify-listening bot"

tempted to take on "the ilx-spotify-listening bot" as a username tbh

hehe

thank u!

If anyone cares: sorry the final yearly wrap up is so ponderous; this project got so big and sprawling that doing a final track and huntdown of songs that have since been added to the service and adding them to the playlist makes each thread a multi-hour task. 19 down, 13 to go.
I'll do a final roundup here hopefully over the next week or two and put the 2016 project to bed once and for all.
