im finding a lot of stuff i wanna listen to is unavailable, im not whining, its free, but im definitely not giving up on itunes/mp3s yet
yeah Spotify is great but for me it's a supplement to vinyl / mp3's not a replacement
I plan to just keep using it free as a way to discover and try out new stuff
― dmr, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
found you dan, thanks!

wait i can just go to "local files" and play songs from my itunes! i never have to open itunes again!(?)
― Notinnymane (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
yup
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
beware of putting local files into your playlists, tho
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
local files almost the best thing about spotify since it starts up 10000x faster than itunes

lol, sharemyplaylists ppl apparently do not like long grab-bag playlists; so far all 3 of mine have garnered 1 star ratings
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
i got a 5 star on my new jack swing one. it was probably you.
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
ha it wasn't! clearly the way to get a good rating is to get to the point rather than be a meandering hodge podge
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
im loving your playlists.
― Cindy Mancini can ride my lawnmower anytime (thebingo), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:11 (twelve years ago) link

I will be playing your New Jack Swing playlist tonight

So, when you have a song in a playlist that Spotify does not have, those who don't have it won't see it at all -- no "light gray" listing. That kinda sucks.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
Obviously it makes sense for Spotify to do that.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Wednesday, 27 July 2011 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
can p much delete itunes and all of my mp3s?
No because then they won't show up on your Spotify!
― timellison, Wednesday, 27 July 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
ha yeah i got excited for a minute there

OK. If you want to see playlist tracks you cannot play, go into preferences and un-check "Hide unplayable tracks."
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Thursday, 28 July 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
sorry if dumb question, but is there a way to view and sort the tracks in your library by bitrate, file size, play count, and other data fields that don't show up by default?

DJP did you put the alley cat mix in your playlist as a cruel joke
― flop's son (dayo), Thursday, 28 July 2011 00:57 (twelve years ago) link
LOL no, I genuinely dig that mix! It would have been between that or the original; I pretend the album mix doesn't exist.
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Thursday, 28 July 2011 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know if I'll use itunes again, Spotify is much prettier as a music player. I feel like such a pratt for thinking Spotify was crap when it first came out.

Trust me, when you graduate to the paid ad-free service in a few months, you will seriously miss some of those ads.

I could ditch iTunes and get over Spotify's tagging issues real fast if column browsing and smart playlists were possible.
― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Thursday, 28 July 2011 01:32 (twelve years ago) link
That stuff will probably be available in a few years time. I don't know, I think dark colors are better for music, psychologically. I like the black and green, it's soothing. Although it is kind of a blatant rip-off of itunes.

just found this and am at work so haven't tried it out yet. sounds quite good though and, if it works as described, a solution for those that want a bit of last.fm functionality.
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 28 July 2011 11:26 (twelve years ago) link
That looks rather neat, will try when home!

decided it was actually better to try it at work than at home and it's fine. really basic but still quite impressive.
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 28 July 2011 13:07 (twelve years ago) link
Spotify has made me appreciate the full album listening experience rather than always listening to random things on shuffle.

back from vacation and noticing Spotify saying I have a number of invitations I can send to USers. If this is still a thing and you need one, feel free to gmail omhalck. First come etc; also I cannot promise lightning-quick reaction at all times.
― anatol_merklich, Thursday, 28 July 2011 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
dude make a "Livin' On A Prayer" playlist!

what is to stop someone from just going analog port in and recording anything they want and KEEPING IT!

HOME ANALOG PORT RECORDING IS KILLING MUSIC
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 28 July 2011 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
I've wondered about similar questions myself, and ended up thinking:
1) analog port as in whatever the soundcard processes? vulnerable to random facebook chat alert dings and other unwanted sounds;2) otoh the sound files are actually temporarily cached on your computer and you could probably get the exact digital file if you were superhumanly fantastic at decryption etc;3) however if you wanted to care for the collection you'd get in one of those ways, you'd have an hell of a tagging and organizing task ahead;4) all of which indicates that it seems too much hassle when the app allows you to call it up anytime you want anyway?
― anatol_merklich, Thursday, 28 July 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
it's pretty simple to mute all sounds except for one app
― PAJAMARALLS? PAJAMALWAYS! (DJP), Thursday, 28 July 2011 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
(loving the ilm 50s playlist from upthread btw; is it a countdown or a countup or more random than that?)
