damn, thanks forks. this is an heroic fucking undertaking, a new era in ilxing, etc. you should make techno/house an open list tho.

But really that doesn't seem like something worth getting the support guys involved. I assumed it was normal behavior not to be able to see the list since I don't have an account, I was just wondering if there was a workaround. I guess I could just register if I really needed to see these. Thanks for the reply though.

Dinsdale, what you are seeing is the normal behavior if you are not logged in to Spotify. So you do need to register if you want to see (and hear) the playlists.

I don't really follow any of the rolling threads -- which is part of why I'm excited about these playlists -- but are they meant to be for 2015 music only? I ask in part because I noticed that you'd put on the Jazz D-Bags playlist some tracks from an album I randomly mentioned on that thread, but it's a 2014 album.
― Tove Lo Tove You Baby (jaymc), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 05:23 (nine years ago) link
they're meant to be whatever's discussed but since there was like 100 2014 recommendation in the 2015 country thread, i thought i'd wait till the initial end of last year excitement subsided, if only because it was gonna be a lot of work to hunt down all those cuts. Then I changed my mind. So that's why there's a country playlist now that's labeled "Rolling Country 2015" that's gonna start with 50 cuts from 2014.

Okay, so this is done. I have a few thoughts on the experience of spending a year on this project that I’d like to share with you, a few words about how I intend to utilize this work and how I plan to replicate the project in 2016.

Finally, I built playlists for all the nominated tracks for ILM’s yearly best track and album polls. For the album nominees, I pulled two or three tracks from each disc and put them into an album sampler playlist.

and FINALLY finally, the following big daddy is the playlist which includes ALL of the above playlists: genre, personal and Best of 2015 nominees. There are copious doubles, which I’ll endeavor to clean up in time, but it should still ultimately end up about 7500+ total tracks long.

^ THIS monstrosity, along with a handful of other selections, is going to be the core of my own collaborative music engagement project for 2016. I’ll post a new thread shortly with more info once I have a moment, but long story short is that I’m gonna try to work through this pile of tunes over the course of the next 12 months and I’d love to have any interested people join me for as long as you'd like so we can discuss tracks in mutual play.

For clarification on my non-affiliation with Spotify and to reiterate my earlier rationale for limiting this to one freemium/paid service:
Spotify is hardly the be-all-end-all of music indices and it is often notably less au courant than say, YouTube or soundcloud, which makes finding immediate hip hop or electronic dicey, but it has the added benefit of being very easy to search and manage, free and/or cheap, available in multiple countries and it just happens to be the service I lean on for at least 75% of my listening. It is also a service that makes subscription to playlists (and autoupdating/downloading tracks to a mobile playlist) easy.
Some conceivably helpful parting footnotes: - These playlists reflect America's accessible spotify catalogue only; if you are listening to these playlists outside of the US, you may have access to tracks we do not and vice versa.- That said, if you find a significant omission or if Spotify adds an album or single to the service in the future, feel free to bump any of the accompanying threads and I'll try to update the playlist. - This curatory work is not intended to be proprietary; feel free to recopy listings to your own mixes or share wherever you'd like. Information wants to be free and Spotify wants to be ten bucks a month.- Whenever albums are discussed, I have sought representative tracks, generally those that are listed as the most played on Spotify. - In some instances where an artist is discussed and the song or album in question is not available on the streaming service, I will instead post other representative music from the same artist, but I have strived to make sure that music is from a 2015 release or, rarely, 2014. - Eagle eyed track editors will note that not strictly every song in these playlists hails from 2015 or late 2014; on certain threads and playlists, tracks from far earlier periods are part of the discussion and, where appropriate, I have included those songs. IMO, obsession can be good for you, needless consistency, not so much.
And let’s talk about obsession: I’ve mentioned elsewhere on ILX that this (entirely self-imposed) project has fired off some major OCD tendencies in me over the course of the past year. I found myself waking up in the middle of the night to scan bookmarks and occasionally shirking work in preference of updating this strange and winding monster. This unpaid combo of never ending immediate deadline and impossibly easy procrastination fodder never strayed too far from my forebrain. I find indexing simultaneously calming and anxiety-inducing; the only way to keep potential freak outs at bay was to just add A FEW MORE to the pile. I’d like to continue doing a version of this project for the ILX community in the upcoming year as it’s a great way to get a broad overview of what’s contemporary in each of these genres but I’ve got to shift my approach or else I am going to stoke my neuroses higher than I can jump... so for 2016, I’ll be fully updating all playlists on a monthly basis only, starting in early February. I’ll bump the respective genre thread when everything is updated (which I hope will not be too egocentric or distracting) and will start a "Listening to ILX Listen - 2016" thread so that there's once again a hub to access and join in both playlists and discussion.
Without begging for tips, I feel compelled to say again that this project was HARD WORK... more than I could've imagined and certainly enough to have prevented me from starting had I known the arduousness of the task. Though I've absolutely gotten something out of the experience, it's not something I would do so publicly unless I thought it was both helpful for and appreciated by a plurality of the population here. Kind words and commiseration at this journey's end would be appreciated.
And hey, Glenn and Stet and any code kiddies! If you can create a script or something that automates what I'm trying to do here, boy would I ever welcome it!
Happy listening.
2015 was a golden year - certainly my best year for new music in a very long time - so it's great that you have constructed this towering memorial!

If not, there would need to be some kind of smart script that could parse through a thread and try to extract Artist/Track text. This sounds like a job for Google or something. I like the idea of creating a tag/format for rolling music threads, though!

thx for the effort forks, I signed up for spotify for your lists!
― niels, Monday, 11 January 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
You'd just have to copy/paste "Artist - Track" lines from the thread into a big file - obviously some manual work but maybe less than searching Spotify for each and every one.
Beyond that, yes you could write a script to extract these lines from a thread, could get as fancy as you'd like really.
― Vote! In the ILM EOY Poll! (seandalai), Monday, 11 January 2016 23:18 (eight years ago) link
well, as the guy who just did this, I can tell you that people regularly misspell the names of the tracks or the artists and spotify often mislabels them. I had to do a great deal of digging to find quite a lot of this. I don't think it's unrealistic to say that automating the process might lose as much as 30% of what I found with a little intuition and boolean skill.
