My "Liked Music" playlist has 630 songs.
Cool, but can we talk about how YouTube Music only shuffles the first twenty or so? I desperately need a way to export my playlist so I can pirate the music and properly shuffle it on an open source mp3 player.

Compression is cringe af tbh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (5 children)

i use a website that shuffles the playlist for me all at once, so i just go in the random shuffle order it gave me instead of using the actual shuffle button. it ensures every song get played at least once

One playlist, "Liked Songs" gang supremacy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i like to make sequels every year or so. i’m currently on “liked songs 4”. it gives me the chaos of a liked songs playlist, but with the comfort that only recently liked songs will play. (i will never unlike a song)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is my strategy too, except I make new playlists every January and seperate the songs by year. So I have 2017, 2018, 2019, etc playlists of songs that came out that year. Then I go through the songs from that year and add the absolute bangers to an ultimate playlist. I also never unlike a song.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

When I was first developing my music taste I did this too. I had "songs I like 2018 edition", "songs I like 2019 edition" then discovered Spotify and everything morphed into a singular "liked songs" playlist :D

If there's one thing I'd want AI to do is to organize my music library :)

Although I don't unerstand why can't Spotify just give me list of artists/genres/etc. that I listen to and allow me to play only specific ones. I could even do that on my freakin old iPod Nano and it's year 2024 for god sake! But from what I see Spotify programmers are more busy with removing features than adding anything useful nowadays. I am also still mad that they have removed radio feature and they didn't provide an alternative.

And while they're at it, can it sort out the pics on my phone into "pics of dog" and "pics I took to show a client what the problem was then forgot to delete and now take up two thirds of my storage"?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Google photos is pretty good for searching photos like this, I don't know about organizing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It’s incredible, though Apple is catching up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I've wondered about that possibility. Personally, I wouldn't want sensitive photos to touch the internet PERIOD, even if I'm the one hosting. Incognito camera mode would be a cool feature. Hit a toggle, then all photos and videos are saved to a separate, secured directory not synced to any cloud service. Maybe things in there get deleted after 30 days

Why should Spotify waste time on your pet feature request when they have dozens of working features still to be ruined.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Spotify should support tags. It would be so easy to have one giga playlist and just tag the songs accordingly to Genre, moods, memories, etc.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

They recently did an update on mobile which basically treats playlists as tags, in that you press the + button and you can easily add and remove songs from multiple playlists with a single click. I'm probably not describing it that well, but it's one of the best features they've added in years!

I don't make new playlists to split by genre, I do it so the shuffle will actually fucking work. I don't know what dogshit algorithms Youtube/Spotify employ, but for any playlist over 100 songs the "shuffler" will typically just go through the same ~20 songs and expect you to not notice. I just want a different order!

Anyway now I have like 40 playlists with 20 songs each.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Apparently back in the covered wagon days when shuffle features were truly random, the listener would occasionally be burdened by hearing two songs by the same artist in a row. Literally no one complained about this, so of course upper management decided that this must be "fixed" immediately, so that's what led to shuffle features becoming noticeably worse than when they were simply random, which is all anyone ever wanted them to be.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Actually, and I don't mean to be that guy, but people did complain about it.

True random means that you could end up with songs by the same artist being played four or five times in a row, which makes people think it's not random at all. Humans are really bad at understanding randomness, so a little help to make it feel more random improves satisfaction.

But at this point, it's gone too far and I'm almost certain that shuffling involves always playing the most popular songs by an artist first, then random covers and remixes, then the back-catalog of works.

On a side note, I wish I could exclude remixes and covers when shuffling through an artist's stuff.

likes more than a million songs on spotify, plays auto playlist on shuffle

look inside queue

the same 50 songs you've heard already

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

everything in liked songs

Skips until something good plays

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (5 children)

I mean the liked songs list let's you separate by genre. When it knows what genre it is, and no Spotify, the Damned are not a pop group.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait what it lets you separate it by Genre? Need to check how to do that when I get back home

1M songs is absurd. How many does Spotify even have?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

About 70-80 mln

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah thats unfeasible as fuck, that would be listening to and liking over 800 songs a day for 10 years

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Liking an album adds all the songs on the album to Liked Songs. Its annoying as fuck

I haven’t been using social media for 10+ years besides some on/off shitposting on hacker news. I’d love to find something for music management that’s not sucky and uber corpo like Spotify. I use Bandcamp for buying from niche artists and sound cloud for finding new labels, but sound cloud is too Spotifyish now. Deezer used to be nice before they started region restrictions.

All of my playlists are the ghostbusters theme song

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I just have one giant playlist with all the music I like

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I do as well. Unfortunately my taste is all over the place. If I play my liked songs on shuffle I get Country, Techno, Chanson, Drum and Bass, Metal, Tekkno, Pop, Hardbass, Grime, Breakcore, Hip-hop and then a four hour DJ set.

i went from marty robbins to dillinger escape plan once. boy did that shock my system

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Perfect, if your playlist doesn't give you severe whiplash every few minutes you're not doing it right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, if I'm not in the mood I just skip until I find a song that hits. I'm way too lazy to make playlists

Playlist for moods/scene

Bedtime, Party Songs, Fuck Jams etc.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Assuming an average of 4 minutes per song, that is 7 years and 8 months of music. I wonder how much time the ads would add?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The best way to use spotify is to block the ads

It's not even on shuffle, either, so he's just listening straight through.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

It's a journey through time, when you do it that way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yes I do! I have a house classics, progressive classics, progressive house(of the past year), uplifting trance, trance and so on. But my liked songs has a bit of everything and many other things. ps: I need a trance classics list.
