My Spotify playlists, let me show you them

I was gonna make a freaks & geeks playlist but there was already one (many, actually) so this is not mine but all the same very enjoyable

must be a matter of time before a wealth of great compilations (like those Rhino Power Pop for instance) turn up as playlists

ministry of sound sued spotify over playlists that mimicked their comps and settled out of court.. so unless the label themselves make the playlist i'd expect you won't see them

really? wonder if my playlist would get removed if I did one featuring all the available tracks from the Have a Nice Day 70s compilations...

depends on how many followers it gets i'd imagine :)

Ministry of Sound sued and won? That's ridiculous.

it didn't go to court but presumably spotify paid them something in the settlement

but does that mean you can own the idea of a playlist and its contents? that is kiiiinda weird

I know a lot of work went into constructing compilations, but, well, not anymore! Also I'd imagine labels and artist still get payed if "copycat" playlists are played, but perhaps ministry of sound didn't own the tracks they were distributing outside of that specific compilation context?

This almost goes back to that crazy argument mattresslessness tried to put make, that ILXors have no right to pillage ILX lists for Spotify use.

Are you cool with forks making Spotify playlists out of every rolling thread without permission?

I mean, Capitol doesn't have the Beatles VI on Spotify. Could someone really raise a fuss if I put all those songs together in order so I could hear one of their best American albums?

yes! particularly if you call it "Beatles IV"!

uh i mean VI

But -- I'm not selling or profiting from it? I'm not taking away any profits from it? The songs are all there, just not in that particular order?

I mean, sure I couldn't use the album cover for copyright reasons, but ... really?

Forced Exposure has vinyl I think but if u PM me I can send you my FLAC rip fwiw

Thanks for the list!

I would like a playlist of 70s female singer songwriters that focuses on folkier guitar/piano pop. with like judee sill and sandy denny etc. fo then I would be set.

Still my favourite Xmas playlist, originally compiled by jody beth rosen (can't remember why I had to clone it) and choral all the way: https://open.spotify.com/user/miketd/playlist/5BFCmB4m1IqIsEFYn4S1hr

How about this? Loosely based on the compilation of the same name. https://open.spotify.com/user/seamusr/playlist/2UGKGoveaDiMGrkmXfmZMG

Yes exactly! seems like you can't just Google them! perfect, thanks for the xmas present!

my party playlist, might come in handy 2nite:
https://open.spotify.com/user/betamaxdk/playlist/6LVMYa1ulHlEpQ8mxf0Yny
(has a few Danish tracks)

hard to describe the theme of this playlist - it's just a lot of great jams, mostly mellow stuff, quite a few tracks I came across on ILM or Discover, generally prioritizing deep cuts over singles:

my brother's bandmate told him he wanted a boogie feel on a song and my brother was unfamilar with the genre so i made him a 4 hour playlist

by no means canonical or exhaustive

BOOGIE BANGERS

wow

The Perfect Beats - New York Electro Hip-Hop + Underground Dance Classics 1980 -
1985 - Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4 were a series of comps that came out in 1998 and were hugely important to my musical education. I noticed they weren't on spotify but almost all of the tracks were, so I created a playlist:

The Perfect Beats - New York Electro Hip Hop + Underground Dance Classics / 1980-1985

I nicked the idea, and a few tracks, from Simon H's Downers playlist, and built my own, called Doldrums. Currently 450 tracks of misery and melancholy.

I've got a similar list called "frails" where I keep track of the moody, morose and medieval. A lot of obscuro and folky tracks. Main criteria is that it must not rock.

― saddest kamancheh (bendy)

I like this one at quick glance. You do have many songs that do in fact rock in there.

Yeah there’s more rocking stuff that I recall, and now I’m trying to think about the way my conception of “frail” has changed over the four years of dumping tracks to that list.

crüt should post the 1045-song list he posted about on FB a few weeks ago, it's killer.

ego trip playlist would be cool, but I can't play anything on that one for some reason

I think it's because it's a public playlist of (private) offline files

this works for me but seems incomplete https://open.spotify.com/user/jancok19/playlist/2UGZr7wQ7fYS335myf4RVu?si=Pri7PQSCQj673F11OOGXFg

i find this idea to be bad

and creepy

This headline is wildly misleading. No data is shared between Ancestry and Spotify, and nothing here does anything with anybody's DNA. Somebody wrote a web thing that lets you manually pick a set of nominal genetic-origin regions (you can pick 1-5 of them from a list of 30-ish), and then blends together song-pools from each of them to make a playlist you can save to your Spotify account. I have no idea where the pools of songs came from, but you can see what's in them pretty easily by picking a single region at a time. They seem to be random collections of artists who are nominally "from" that region, but that includes, e.g., Neneh Cherry as "Sweden".

So while you could reasonably contend that this thing is stupid, I think it's not actually creepy.

i think it's creepy. my music taste doesn't come from my genes.

Nor does this playlist.

hm

Treeship just bitter because he shared his genome with spotify and all he got were logger songs and sea shanties

12.5 % would have been norwegian black metal!

wow, I can't believe yr great-grandfather burned down a stave church
