I made playlists for Other Music's best of 2012 and best reissues of 2012. Spotify was missing their #1 (Andy Stott's Luxury Problems) but had an awful lot of it. (Some listings had more than one record under it, like Mac DeMarco and Ty Segall/White Fence ... I just dumped em all in there.)

friend of mine just put together a remedial Ethel Merman playlist - not sure i've ever listened to any of these on purpose. wow.

http://open.spotify.com/user/itsdlevy/playlist/4sbD6aQeZAMOBCLcQ5Dlh3

good stuff - looks mostly like all of her annie get your gun + gypsy stuff?

do any ilm'ers have a great quiet storm playlist they could share w/ me?

Fifteen new tracks added to the rolling collaborative playlist - which, despite having 51 subscribers, seems to be shrinking in terms of collaborators. Not gonna go all Goalkeeper on you, but new blood would be welcome?

do any ilm'ers have a great quiet storm playlist they could share w/ me?

Not strictly quiet storm but these 40-track playists have a fair amount.

yo, thanks for that

was disappointed to see that this thread doesn't explore the vast expanse of mutant/fake/hipster/hybrid/armchair drum 'n bass, so I ransacked Spotify's piecemeal archives f/ mutant breaks and then threw in bits of techno/industrial/noize to connect the dots (warning! may contain moments of ~conventional~ d'nb, chill out ppl). nine breezy hours of three-boots-in-a-dryer entertainment, cheers.

Thanks! I also realized that you could search "label:whatever" and got some great results that way, especially for dance music (for example, label:"paper recordings" or label:!k7).

Yeah it's useful. What I'd really like is to be able to subscribe to a label and get updates whenever it puts out something new/

Labels should maintain a playlist! For the big guys, it would be crazy-unwieldy, but for the smaller labels, it would make a ton of sense.

Also a bunch of labels seem to add releases a few weeks after they're in the shops, at which point I've forgotten that I need to look out for them.

Now what I want out of Spotify is smart playlists, or live search lists or something, where I could store a search query as a playlist, and it would get updated whenever there were new tracks that matched my query. Could that be done with an app, maybe?

I would love to be able to play a playlist without opening it first. I have one huge playlist that has to open and load thousands of tracks before it can play which takes about 5 minutes or more, I have to imagine there's a more efficient way for this to work.

A couple of weeks ago I was sitting in Moeder Lambic in Brussels and I soundhounded all the songs that were being played and it was really a perfect playlist while I was drinking. Here it is, minus a couple of songs that weren't available.

Wrong one, this should be it.

Not my playlist, but surely a crucial one for ILM: Songs mentioned in Autobiography by Morrissey

thank you!!!

semi-related: if you're having problems with songs stopping and starting repeatedly, there's a solution: become a premium subscriber, make an album a playlist, and make that playlist/album Available Offline.

i just started using the new mobile app with streaming + ads and i love it
