Spotify - anyone heard of it?

literally a great song

The Sign is a stone cold classic and fuiud

have really been enjoying the Spotify VAPRWAVE list, which I found via the KING artist page:

Nice!

Just noticed that Your Daily Mix is now available on the desktop app

whyyyyyyy is it such a pain in the ass to access local files in spotify

and when spotify lowkey swaps a song on your playlist with an inferior re-recording

yo glenn, the new P.O.S. album Chill, dummy is classified under the incorrect P.O.S.

Notifications still broke? I got an email at least this time

Hah, I went to fix that P.O.S album, and somebody already had. You should see it in the right place tomorrow or the next day.

Well, now Spotify is broken and won't load at all and the help pages are no use

Won't start, won't uninstall, can't be reinstalled.

Will the "Music Library" feature in Spotify ever be useful? The number of albums you're able to add seems to be incredibly finite.

I would just like to say that I have heard of it.

Is it possible to download single tracks? I only seem to get that as an option on albums.

It's annoying, but I think the only way to do this is by adding individual songs to a playlist and making that playlist 'available offline'.

ok :/

Interestingly, when I log onto Tidal I get a front page section that reads "JAY Z BACKS THE WOMEN’S MARCH AND THE RESISTANCE: ‘WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT’S IN POWER’ THE HIP-HOP LEGEND AND ACTIVIST SAT DOWN FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT HIS NEW DOCUSERIES ‘TIME: THE KALIEF BROWDER STORY,’ ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE TITULAR WRONGFULLY IMPRISONED TEEN WHO SPENT 800 DAYS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT WITHOUT TRIAL BEFORE TAKING HIS OWN LIFE.

When I log on to Spotify, I get a bunch of ads for meatballs and Spotify.

So what does Daniel Ek think about things that aren't related to his company's stock price? It's awfully hard to find info...

How's that Tidal playlist coming along?

How's that Trump presidency coming along? Seriously asshole...

lol, you ARE a dumb one aren't you.

Daniel Ek, Freedom Fighter. I'm sure he'll be in the history books...

This is the current front page of Tidal:

http://tidal.com/us

Care to post the front page for Spotify, Ulysses, asshole. We're at a point where we call people as they are, btw. Post-Trump politics...

And Ulysses, why don't you state who you really are. I've used the same name since joining ILX for every single post I've made. You switch back and forth.

i'm your father and your mother and i are really worried about you

You can do better than that, asshole. As can Daniel Ek.

The top featured playlist on Spotify right now is this:

https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/7v1BarmZ8HAbm5qxidROPB

whose blurb includes a link to httprescue.org.

to rescue.org

dammit. to http://rescue.org

Not the same as a feature on the front page, but it's a start. 3 attempts to link it, from someone who works for Spotify, doesn't bode well. But again, anything is better than nothing.

Neither of those things is enough, of course, but I find them both impressive. Having lived through the 90s and 2000s when famous people, and companies, would have rather passed out than lift a finger to help any cause more pointed than "Rock The Vote" I find this heartening

Kinda wondering if anyone has checked out Spotify's world-changing playlist. Amongst the top 10: M.I.A., Queen, Regina Spektor, Wyclef Jean, Gloria Estefan. What the fuck, glenn. I like you, but seriously, what the fuck?

Fugees. Forgot the Fugees. Jesus.

"Fugees" derives from the word "refugee." I'm guessing a computer made that decision. Yes, glenn? Or is this related to Trump's order to ban Hatians from the US?

the 90s and 2000s were not presided over by a neo-nazi and a malevolent plantar wart

At least Spotify is making sure that Queen get some recognition in these trying times.

Tidal is busy talking about some random guy named Kalief Broder on their front page. And seriously. Who even knows who that is? But Queen!

dlp man i don't know you so take this with a grain of salt, but maybe consider a deep breath and a short break from this thread?

No worries, Herr Doktor. I think I've said all that I needed to say. And I think we're all aware that any criticism on ilm of Spotify or glenn ist inakzeptabel, for who will take care of our statistics if he ever leaves. I'm going to listen to the Spotify playlist of refugee artists like Queen und der Fugees, relax, and take a break. Best to you and to glenn und Spotify, who are busy fighting the good fight.

''I've said all I need to say, so that just leaves being a dick some more''

Gute nacht arzt.

^ mods, FP count?

I think we're all aware that criticism of Spotify or its employees is grounds for instant ban on ILM. No need to get Sleeve on the case. I'll be gone by morning.

is this really the hill you want to godwin on

Godwin (and XKCD and various other bits) were crafted for different times. Regardless, that Spotify "Refugee" playlist is insane, and ought to also include the Tom Petty song and the Genesis song for all that it's good for.

which Tom Petty song? "Zombie Zoo"?

don't come around here no more

sorry was drunkenly referring to dlp, that was not conceived as a joke abt refugees or trump's executive order

take it to the irrationally angry thread, dlp

Hahaha at that spotify playlist... I might be wrong but it kind of has a concept tho... I guess it's about immigrant artists or something? MIA is from Sri Lanka, Freddie Mercury from Tanzania, Wyclef is from Haiti, Gloria Stefan from Cuba... but they're not refugees... it's a weird concept... (only refugee artist in there is Caetano I think?)

I wish there were more places to find political commentary online than on the front pages of our streaming services, but someone has to lead the charge I guess
