I do get that Spotify emphasizing playlists might make some people less likely to play full albums, but to complain so hard about app feng shui is weird.

Looks like they’re reducing royalties by classifying their regular Premium service as an audiobook bundle (after introducing a standalone audiobook tier): https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/spotify-music-audiobook-bundle-lower-royalty-for-songwriters-1235974942/

Anyone explored the 'Daylist' feature? It analyses what you tend to listen to at any given time of the day and serves up a playlist accordingly. This changes 3 or 4 times during the day. It does give the playlist a dumb name. Eg, my current one is called 'healing abstract tuesday (sic) morning'.
The key difference so far is that mine have actually been pretty good?
