I may be paraphrasing it wrong... seems like I hear their house ad "Why don't you come work for us? Check our website now... or maybe when you're not at work." (she says with a grin.) every five minutes.
― pplains, Friday, 5 October 2012 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
Thank goodness I'm a subscriber and don't have to hear their terrible ads anymore.
Still, it's odd that they are making such a big hiring push when they are so deep in the hole. I hope that means they have a clear plan on how to turn the corner.
― Moodles, Friday, 5 October 2012 23:11 (eleven years ago) link
i think their (correct) plan is to be in the hole for four years until they have a generation that thinks of them as netflix for music, puts it on their credit card and forgets they're even paying anyone

I hope that works, but unlimited free play kind of makes that more difficult
― Moodles, Friday, 5 October 2012 23:38 (eleven years ago) link
I was doing that until I had to close my bank account for reasons that are TMI... Unlimited free play is nice but it means I have to hear those damn condom ads every 4 songs.

I just compiled the "Scorpio Rising" soundtrack -- apparently no one had done this yet!

There's a lot of really bad playlists here (http://sharemyplaylists.com/), but you can find great big ones to at least filter some chaff out of.

guys if I am skipping through an album, are the Spotify + Facebook timelines spammed with EVERY SINGLE TRACK that I skip through?
― *triumphant sauce horns* (crüt), Friday, 26 October 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
it doesnt usually post every track. I think if you play 5 tracks from the same album it makes that post. (unless its changed today)

Yes! I have heard of it. Some guy was talking about it the other day.
― Hinklepicker, Friday, 2 November 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
that happened to me when I tried to go to an artist page from a search; I got around it by clicking on the specific album I was looking for in the search results

Just noticed that Zeppelin isn't on there anymore. The whole Zep catalogue used to be on Spotify, and now NOTHING. I'm sad. ;_;
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
I don't remember the Zeppelin catalog ever being there.
― Moodles, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
Oh shit, you might be right. I was probably thinking of the Stones.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
still no Hounds of Love which saddens me since they have every other kate bush record - was that one on a different label than the rest?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:13 (eleven years ago) link
Nope, same label as everything else prior to The Sensual World.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:14 (eleven years ago) link
Weird one-album gaps like that baffle me. Why no Pretenders debut album, when the rest of their stuff is there?
― WilliamC, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
I've never seen any Zeppelin on Spotify.

― pplains, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:37 (eleven years ago) link
No, you're right. I was thinking I'd listened to a ton of Zep on Spotify during the artist poll, but I was confusing that poll with the Stones poll and the Stones listening binge.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:38 (eleven years ago) link
Where are you guys as I can see HoL http://open.spotify.com/album/5BWl0bB1q0TqyFmkBEupZy and 1st Pretenders http://open.spotify.com/album/4oDYsMBe7KtOu12VNMO75k

I did figure out that you can find The Beatles on grooveshark by looking for "escarabajos."
― pplains, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
they need to consolidate their entries and separate others, e.g. there are artist pages for Windy & Carl, Windy and Carl and "Carl, Windy" — and not all of those pages contain the same content. Also the LFO artist page has both the techno duo and the Lyte Funky Ones. The Scott Walker page has some albums from some amateur autotune-using nobody by the same name. Their classical indexing is horrifying. They could pay me $13/hr and I could sort it out for them.
― resplendent quetzal spokil (clouds), Tuesday, 20 November 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
"This album is not available in the United States" for both the K.Bush and Pretenders links.
― WilliamC, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
spotify doesn't have any sort of crowdsourcing where users can suggest records for them to re-evaluate the license status of in their region, does it? because i have a feeling a lot of these gaps in discographies are just some quirk from the past that they never went back to later to fix
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
The issue is that they really don't give a fuck.

Destroyer's artist page is hilarious, there are records by at least three bands on there, maybe more

Try ctrl-F/whatever the Apple equivalent is; that should bring up a filter search for whatever screen you have open.
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Friday, 7 December 2012 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
Actually I think it's ctrl-F on Apples, too
