The android app has been performing like shit lately. Constant sound dropouts, having to restart frequently. It forced me to re-download my 6000 offline tracks yesterday for no apparent reason.

Was just reminded that on the mobile app (which I have barely used this year other than to control remotely the app on my Mac) you can see the specific release date of something but not on the desktop app >:
And of course neither allow you to show even the year of release in playlist/library view. It's annoying.

i wonder if they can't just program a routine force stop into the app somehow. when you aren't using it. logo is green. grogu is hot. force stops. Disney to acquire spotify.

Yeah, lately every time I search a new artist and try to play a track, nothing happens until I force quit and restart. Great tech!

same problem but the answer has been to drop that music in a playlist that is set to download to my mac. plays fine after that! obviously not optimal!

OH MY GOD. The deals between the majors and the streaming services. The thread many of you requested. It gets a bit sticky, tricky and puzzling, but that’s the point.— Tom Gray #BrokenRecord (@MrTomGray) June 14, 2020

The business model is so weird. Imagine being a record executive and being pitched “no one is paying for the CD for the yes album relayer these days, for example, so would you rather make pennies or nothing”
― calstars, Sunday, 20 December 2020 02:54 (three years ago) link
Or maybe it would be “we can augment existing cd sales with a growing digital-based revenue source” ugh

I just noticed a couple of days ago that in the Mobile app, Spotify will return search results of songs that contain the searched phrase in its lyrics. Is this relatively new?

https://www.spotlistr.com^^i've found this to be a useful tool, let's you create playlists from text, such as:

lol. I am 6% basic.

"You are 3% basic. Have you considered there's a reason nobody listens to The Wolfgang Press?.
You're stuck in the early 2010s. You only listen to Obama-era jams like Don't Go Where I Can't Find You by Eraldo Bernocchi and 1,618 by Charlotte Adigéry."
Ha ha.

I am 7% basic and also stuck in the early 2010s, though it seems to think 2017 = "early 2010s"

Also asked me if I listened to Perfect Way by Scritti Politti "ironically". GTFO.

You are 14% basic. Karen Ramirez and Jupiter? Where do you even find this shit?

I did this but I hardly use Spotify and was pretty confused until I realised it was mostly basing the results off me listening to the ILM tracks poll playlists. I am definitely not obsessed with the 1975, I've never listened to them outside of that playlist! It also seems to think I listen to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack for some reason.

Yes, pretty much. It’s discussed upthread and here is an explanation:https://festivalpeak.com/what-is-escape-room-and-why-is-it-one-of-my-top-genres-on-spotify-a886372f003f

imo we should just make a playlist collecting all the songs we "listened to way too much" in order to make this thing productive

2% basic, bow to me suckers
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 19:01 (three years ago) link
15% basic. I stan these artists to an uncomfortable extent:
Fiona AppleTaylor SwiftThey Might Be GiantsJanet JacksonBillie Eilish
(TMBG are due to the ILM poll a couple years ago)
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 19:07 (three years ago) link
The other 4 it's true I stan to an uncomfortable extent though.
3% basic thanks to edgelord listening habits like this:You're stuck in the early 2010s. You only listen to Obama-era jams like Baa Baa Black Sheep by Nursery Rhymes 123 and Jelly on a Plate by Nursery Rhymes 123.

You only listen to Obama-era jams like El Bandito Pt. 1 by Delroy Edwards and Untitled Reversion by Lee Gamble.lol

2 percent basic

17% basic because my ex-wife used to share my account and just listened to future and 21 savage constantly :'-( she really destroyed my algorithim

Sort of weird because I split between Apple Music and Spotify.
Listen too much:Lithics, "Excuse Generator"Cat Power, "I Don't Blame You"Sextile, "Disco"The Fall, "Theme From Sparta FC"Priests, "The Seduction of Kansas"
