Yes: I can, Ledge. You Mac or PC?

Hmmm!

Can someone try mine again now? I've just thought of something ...
xpost ... ah! Got it. Two seconds, Ledge ...
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Right. Ledge: can you try again now?
Grimly, I get "playlist not found" on yours. Weird.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Try again now, Mike ...
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago) link
nope. i mean, nope still can't see it
― talk me down off the (ledge), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:38 (fifteen years ago) link
what did you try?

Oh, OK. That's fucking weird, and puts paid to my incredibly simplistic theory, which was: it works when the sharer has Spotify running, and not when they don't.
Hmm.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Still get "playlist not found".
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link
I've just changed the Pazz & Jop list to "collaborative". Does that make a difference?

Spotify removing good stuff? Oh well fuck spotify then.
― Pfunkboy Formerly Known As... (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Nope: I get "playlist not found" for that link too, Mike.
Curiouser and curiouser: having deleted my own shared playlist, if I click the link, it recreates the fucking thing! This is absolutely fucked-up.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:42 (fifteen years ago) link
nope. i thought about that but i managed to get the freakytrigger/popular 1950s playlist which ain't collaborative. xxp.
― talk me down off the (ledge), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:44 (fifteen years ago) link
OK. Another one. Can someone try this?

Well, it IS beta. Can everybody get the FT playlist?

Grimly: nope, not found.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link
ditto.

Can everybody get the FT playlist?
Nope. Hmmm! I wonder how this actually works (or, er, doesn't) at the Spotify end?
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:47 (fifteen years ago) link
Ledge: I just tried yours again, which worked before, and it now says "not found". Have you deleted it, or is this further evidence for the fact it's all a bit buggered?

A friend in Amsterdam picked this one up fine yesterday:

my test one is still there. there are a couple of questions about this on the support forums, unanswered; if we 'vote' for the questions they might get some attention.

no joy with amsterdam one. it's fucked, is my diagnosis.
― talk me down off the (ledge), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeh, that's barking: the only one I've ever got working was your test one, Ledge, but now that doesn't work either.
Had a further Google and there seems to be a lot of this about. There's also an entire site devoted to Spotify lists (go on, have a guess at the URL), none of which I can get to work. Aye, I'll have a look at the support forums.
― Special topics: Disco, The Common Market (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 24 January 2009 18:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Right. I've done my bit to raise awareness of this terrible scourge. I'm off to do something more useful instead :)

I can open the playlists ok in IE7 but when I try to open them in Firefox I get 'Invalid option:spotify:user:.....', any ideas, google isn't my friend when it comes to this.
― Billy Dods, Sunday, 25 January 2009 12:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I find the most reliable method is to copy the links and paste them in the spotify search box and hit return.
