Thanks Glenn! These descriptions are really useful.

― calstars, Wednesday, 4 March 2015 00:31 (nine years ago) link

IA about the new feed format where you see pictures of your friends instead of the cover art of what they listened to, and their names are displayed more prominently than the song/album/artist.

― five six and (man alive), Wednesday, 4 March 2015 16:09 (nine years ago) link

Also about how hard it always is to see the complete titles of songs with very long titles -- usually classical music tracks that contain composer, artist, work title, opus no, etc. before finally telling you, say, the name of the movement (which is usually not visible).
