I genuinely don't get why Spotify is so popular, the way they arrange music, especially downloaded music is so annoying.
Can you even to that now? I remember a few years back you could only have 1000 liked songs
I’m at 1,006 right now
Good to know, thank you!
Some people don't care about organizing their music and all that. They just want their playlists and an algorithm to tell what to listen...
Me? I enjoy my properly tagged Plex library.
So how do you organise your music?
Band Name folders, that's it.
I do it weirdly. Basically on how a song feels, I can't tell genres, and honestly, I don't care.
Anyway, these folders are the result:
Music out of directory
Music type 1 Mk1
Music type 1 Mk2
Music type 1 Mk3
Music type 1 Mk4 S1
Music type 1 Mk4 S2
Music type 1 Mk4 S3
Music type 1 Mk5
Music type 2 Mk1
Music type 2 Mk2
Music type 3
Music type 4 C
Music type 4 M
Music type 5
Music type 6
Music type 7
Music type 8
Music type 9
Music type 10
Music type 11
Music type 12
Music type 13
Yeah, I know.
Please give me 2 examples from music type 2 mk 2
01 - Overture - Atmospheres.flac
06 - Gayane Ballet Suite.flac
Intriguing
Shuffle--->skip--->skip--->skip.
The same reason Netflix was initially so popular, convenience. Almost every song you could think of is instantly available at your fingertips, all in one convenient location
The only reasons I still use Spotify is because I get it from a family subscription that my mother pays, so it doesn't cost me anything. And it would be a big pain in the ass to get all my playlists on a local drive, changing to another streaming service would make it easier but then why change anything from how it is right now?
If you ever want to go away from Spotify, use spotube. You can even download all your stuff(just don't download everything at once because you can get banned from YouTube).
What do you mean? Mine is organized by artist, I feel that's pretty standard. I organize my Playlists myself and the blends always turn out good as well and those are entirely voluntary.
They also have barely anything I listen to
There's your problem. You don't believe that a popular song is inherently better. That disqualifies Spotify from viable music aggregators because it only has the popular stuff.
I use it pretty much because it's free and I can listen to a lot of music without using my phone's storage.
Who downloads music nowadays? I just stream whatever I want
Mobile data is expensive.
Do you want a sticker or something?
yes please
VLC Media Player >>>>>>>>>
So you hook your spotify up to this and it gives you different music from what spotify recommends?
No, I play my own music files.
yt-dlp should put out a yarrrrtube wrapped
For my fellow f-droid enjoyers, I recommend spotube. There's some bugs in the UI and some unavoidable issues, but it's more than worth it to get easily accessible music without any ads, telemetry, tracking, electron, required accounts or other anti-features
Any thoughts on xmanager. That thing worked out pretty well when I used it (still don't actually use Spotify much tho)
I haven't tried it, I'll check it out!
Any good old winamp users?
I’m not a winamp user but I still keep my music collection in MP3/FLAC format
It is still nice to have a full, total ownership and control of my copies of music
Aimp here and I've been slowly converting things to opus
Is there anyone to clone winamp for fun?: )
What does Spotify have to do with your top artists
spotify wrapped
Same I use Apple music
They have a replay out now
Oh cool
Lol , just yesturday my friend asked me do you see the statistics in Spotify . Like all the stuff you have listened in past year sorted by genre , songs . It was interesting for him to see all the data, but me was like wtf Spotify ,I don't use that shit.
I only listened about 5k minutes to Spotify, since I switched to spotube this year.
