Hey Glenn - thanjs for the tip about the parsing bug. Looks like if you just put the year first and any other search term next, it works? Hopefully the bug gets squashed. Glad it wasn’t on purpose!

today's discover weekly recommended St. Vincent's "Hang On Me," which is a) somewhat old at this point b) from an album I reviewed c) via listening to the album a lot... on spotify

(obviously the algorithm has no way of knowing that I reviewed the album -- although it was funny when they'd show review excerpts with albums a couple years ago and present me by way of recommendation with my own writing -- but surely having previously listened to a track many, many times months ago should keep it off any discovery-oriented playlists?)

hmm Discover is not about new releases? I do believe there was chatter uphtread regarding why you can sometimes find a track on Discover which has previously been played on the same account, can't recall the outcome though

it's less about "have played before" than "have played before, often."

OFFICIAL: SPOTIFY WILL GO PUBLIC ON APRIL 3
Spotify’s CEO and Chairman, Daniel Ek, is about to give a live presentation to investors and would-be investors in New York.
The company’s Head of Investor Relations, Paul Vogel, has just confirmed that Spotify will publicly list shares on the NYSE via an usual ‘direct listing’ on Tuesday, April 3.
Vogel said the company had taken the choice to float via a direct listing because it was “more transparent and more accessible to a wider range of investors”.
He also confirmed that Spotify will announce financial guidance for Q1 2018 on March 26, the week prior to trading.
The news brings to a close mounting speculation on the flotation D-Day for Spotify, following the company’s filing of a preparatory F-1 document with the US Securities and Exchange Commission last month.
Spotify’s current valuation is currently above $20bn, according to some recent private share trades between investors in the company.
At that valuation, it is believed that the three major music companies (Universal, Sony and Warner) plus Merlin currently own Spotify shares jointly worth somewhere between $2bn and $3bn – thanks to a cumulative ownership stake covering between 10% and 20% of the streaming company.
Sony is the biggest industry shareholder with a 5.7% holding in Spotify.
Spotify’s F-1 revealed that it finished 2017 with 71m paying subscribers and 159m monthly active users (MAUs).

Probably banal question: I've got a shit ton of playlists, only a handful of which I keep offline at any one time. Is there any way to isolate these so I don't have to scroll through everything to find the downloaded ones? 'Offline mode' bizarrely replicates online mode, as far as I can tell - it just takes away the possibility of data usage.

i have often wanted exactly this - just show me my offline playlists
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 16 March 2018 11:29 (six years ago) link
you actually can just filter your playlists for offline only though?
― i'm surprised to see your screwface at the door (NickB), Friday, 16 March 2018 11:43 (six years ago) link
just select 'downloads' on the filter

The ropy, features-dropping-off, non-album-artwork-displaying unupdated old version running on my crappy old Windows XP pc at home where I have shitty bandwidth responds much better, starts up faster and does searches near-instantly. The up-to-date version running on my shiny new PC at work with high bandwidth takes up to an hour of the dreaded spinning circle of dots before it will do a search or even display a selected playlist. I usually just give in and use the web browser version just so i can actually listen to some music before lunch.
― Mince Pramthwart (James Morrison), Sunday, 18 March 2018 10:56 (six years ago) link
My shiny, up-to-date PC desktop version remains forever convinced that I am still listening to Kid Creole's "Stool Pigeon", with Narada Michael Walden's "Tonight I'm Alright" queued as the next track. Thus, every time I start it up, the second track I hear is always Narada Michael Walden's "Tonight I'm Alright", unless I remember to clear the queue first. Luckily, I'm quite fond of Narada Michael Walden's "Tonight I'm Alright".
