do you mean Glenn's "Every Noise" map? I browse with Firefox and if I click the "Listen to the Sound of....." link at the bottom of the genre page it immediately asks me which program I want to use to open the link.
I'm sorry if that's totally useless informtation, but I've certainly never changed any settings to enable this so it must be automatic. Could be a browser thing perhaps? This isn't really my forte.

So I just tried to add a song to "Your Music" and was told I had too many songs in my collection.
The fuck?

Glenn - Do you know if anyone is working on parental controls for Spotify? I bought accounts for my kids, and I'd love to be able to disable explicit tracks on their accounts. This would also be helpful when playing music at work.
Also, my kids are getting curse-filled tracks in their Discovery lists, which sucks.
― schwantz, Monday, 9 November 2015 20:40 (eight years ago) link
Also also, does private session prevent things influencing the discover playlist? idle enquiring minds want to know.
― ledge, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 09:24 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, kid-safe filtering is something we're definitely thinking about, but no idea exactly what form it will take, or when.
Private sessions are just about social sharing-or-not. You aren't hiding from yourself.

yeah i think the, um, all the feels playlist must have existed prior and then the flag was put on to various playlists. it wasn't put on all of them though so some further discrimination might have been advised.

ex rdio user. spotify is very bad, isn't it?
on ios is there any way to make the big green "shuffle play" button on an album page be just "play"? or do i have to click on track 1 to play the album in order?
also spotify connect doesn't seem to work reliably. i can transfer from iphone to ipad ok, but my computer often doesn't show up. if it does the "connection" between the spotify sessions seems to drop when i try to transfer.

that's a fair comparison, spotify is actually a much worse word processor than word, they kind of dropped the ball there

every time i start spotify on my phone it says "spotify is offline. go online for a world of music!" or some shit. always with full bars on 3G or 4G. after 20 seconds or so it usually figures it out. seems kind of basic.
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 29 November 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
it's not perfect perhaps but generally i just press play on things and they play. or search for things and save them then play them. i'm not sure what other functionality is needed.
the one bug that annoys me is it fucks up on your iphone when you leave a wifi zone to go into 3g or 4g.
