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.

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.
― schwantz, Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:16 (ten years ago) link
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.
― high inerja (seandalai), Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:35 (ten years ago) link
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?
― schwantz, Wednesday, 19 June 2013 15:25 (ten years ago) link
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.
