Wonder what the end of the pandemic is going to mean re the popularity of that firm. Is it going to gain negativity now its no longer as needed for things to be as easy.
has this been scheduled now?

According to ChartMasters, the most cumulative streams ever recorded by a single artist on Spotify is Drake with 62.84 billion.

However, of these streams, 17.57 billion were from tracks on which Drake was merely a featured artist (and therefore, wouldn’t have claimed the majority of the royalties).

no I dunno maybe m$i0opnutll 3.2 fourteen? I just liked that an old Poppies picture turned up. The posting of that seemed devoid of any point, and so was my reply.
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 18 March 2022 23:13 (two years ago) link
there is a very subtle connection between the pictures I posted and the text I posted
― beepy fridges (sic), Saturday, 19 March 2022 07:28 (two years ago) link
eg
On tracks on which Drake was the lead artist, he has to date pulled in 45.27 billion streams on Spotify. And these streams, at that average per-stream rate ($0.00348), would have generated around $157 million.

Um, so, has anyone else got this thing (I'm on the Windows client) where it says "PUBLIC PLAYLIST" above the title when selecting any playlist, even if it was made with the "Make new playlists public" option off? I notice that a Spotify representative claims on the community forum that they'd never make such bulk changes, but in that case they have a pretty bad display bug.
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 18:06 (two years ago) link
The terminology changed. There didn't used to be any real access control on playlists, just whether they were listed on your profile (which was called "public") or not (which was called "private"). Recently we added actual privacy, which prevents people from seeing your playlist even if they have a link to it. So that's what's now called "private", and "public" means that someone with the link can see it. Whether it's shown on your profile or not is now separate. A bit confusing as a shift in naming, but a better feature now...
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 20:04 (two years ago) link
Ah. Thanks. The realities make good sense, but it seems to me the terminology may be unfortunate, due to the earlier use of the word "public" for what you describe as "listed on your profile", and the word itself has a force of "completely open" to me. Three levels could have been made less confusing by calling them e.g. private / linkable / public, or something.
What is the term for the former "public" ones, those that are now shown on the profile, btw? And is this group of playlists exactly the same as those that are searchable by title, and/or those that turn up as "Discovered on" in artist pages?
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 20:40 (two years ago) link
And, not least: how to make new playlists truly private by default?
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 20:42 (two years ago) link
There's not a default-private setting yet.
To be searchable or show up in Discovered On, a playlist has to be shown on your profile (and thus has to be public), and have at least 2 listeners over some amount of time I don't remember, and sometimes it takes more than that for complicated reasons.
The new wording for the old function is "Add to profile" / "Remove from profile".

Thanks again for clear (and reassuring) replies, it is very much appreciated.

Well, you could always consider buying a download. Or listening on Youtube. There are many ways to hear that album online!

What is fucking up with the new interface? Albums now buried several clicks deep and are in a list form with tracks instead of just the album art. You can reset the latter, but when you click back to the albums from an individual album, it resets back to the list form with tracks.
If this is the way it is supposed to be, I'm out.

The thing with the view switching back is just a bug, and should be fixed soonish...

Glenn, I appreciate all your patience dealing with our bullshit.
That said, feel free to pass along that burying basic content (like albums) to privilege dumb stuff like podcasts and whatever marginally related ephemera they are trying to cram near the top is enraging.
