The new spotify app is finally available for roku. Only problem is you have to have the latest roku OS, and the roll out for that could extend through the end of the year.

iTunes is incredibly powerful as a local music library manager (esp with scripts), but I’m sticking with Spotify in the browser for streaming.

Doug's scripts for iTunes are the ones i know - i haven't looked at the site for years but i think he keeps them updated

Amazon seems shit unless you ONLY want to listen to an act's most recent album. This is in Australia, though, where every aspect of Amazon is more expensive and less good than everywhere else in the world.

Indeed the Doug’s scripts site is a great resource but I’ve also written a few myself to scrape info like year/genre through the Discogs API and Google.

i am blown away by how terrible spotify is compared to when i stopped paying two years ago.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:34 (five years ago) link
and right now spotify's displaying track 2 but playing track 4 and that's only coming out of one speaker
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:38 (five years ago) link
i'm not having any of the problems you are (except the albums/saved artist thing, which is the design)
maybe try restarting your computer, or buying a new computer?
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:44 (five years ago) link
but yeah, if you were using the same computer 2 years ago and didn't have any of those problems, i can see why that would be really frustrating
believe me i've tried restarting, reinstalling, regrouping speakers, everything, makes no difference. i use apple and google (and sometimes amazon prime) music and they're all fine.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 06:53 (five years ago) link
right now it's just started playing track 13 of the same album, and like three seconds in the display suddenly jumped to track 14 for no reason whatsoever, but track 13 is still playing.
with a few days in this sub month i'm almost completely uninvested in trying to fix any of these daft bugs, just entertained by how kak it is.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 07:03 (five years ago) link
maybe try buying CDs?

Maybe those playlists are premium features if they stopped at the same time you stopped paying.

― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 20:02 (five years ago) link
how long ago did you start paying again? maybe it just takes a few weeks to analyze your listening and come up with a new discovery playlist
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 10 November 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
yeah i’m guessing that’s what it is (despite me actively using it on premium for weeks), but i can’t see that written anywhere. i’ve just unfollowed it to see if that kickstarts anything.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 10 November 2018 20:35 (five years ago) link
someone posted on this thread a few months ago about the albums saved to their library would now only display in the order they were added, rather than a-z by artist
the same thing happened to me, so I guess this is an across the board thing - does anyone know if there's a way to change this?

can people with the free version of Spotify search for playlists? i'm assuming they can, but it's been awhile. i want to share a "mix" with a friend, and the easiest way i can think of to do it is to make a spotify playlist, but he doesn't have the paid version.
― Karl Malone, Monday, 19 November 2018 20:46 (five years ago) link
If you right click on the playlist you can copy the link and send it to him via text/mail.

canned this. got three months of amazon music unlimited for au$1 and it's already better.
― calamity gammon (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 25 November 2018 06:56 (five years ago) link
amazon has less music in the US. I use it for sonos moana soundtrack kid time though

amazon is good at ops and nothing else. imo you won't be happier with it.
― Tom: I do all the bills. (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 25 November 2018 07:12 (five years ago) link
yeah i'm pretty sure i won't be happier with it, but for a dollar i'll get in a load of streaming until february and then just cancel. between apple and google i'm well sorted.

What are Tastebreakers?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 6 December 2018 13:29 (five years ago) link
it's "a playlist of artists and songs from genres and artists you don't normally explore" which is a bit strange as there are artists and albums shared with my "your top songs 2018" playlist and it's almost entirely stuff that is exactly like what I would listen to and sometimes definitely have already.
― Animal Bitrate (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 6 December 2018 13:40 (five years ago) link
so disappointed that glenn's micro music genres were not used in 2018 wrapped analysis - instead we get broad generic clusters: indie, pop, dance / electronic, rock, metal. (Just like the recent reorganized Spotify Android App, top genres)
whatever happened to the likes of vapor soul and vapor twitch. Instead my top genre was "indie"
Then on the 2018 spotify wrapped one of my top tracks listed of the 5 - doesn't even feature in the top 100 tracks !
Spotify Wrapped was so much better a few years back, circa 2014 and 2015. Even last year the analysis stated how many micro genres you listened to, i think mine was 73. This year no idea !
The project manager of Spotify Wrapped needs to be replaced with Glenn next year.

― (•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:38 (five years ago) link
also i read on reddit that the analysis only covers up to October 31st, so all the listening stats in November are missing.
― djmartian, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:42 (five years ago) link
yeah the tastebreaker thing isn't too convincing but I mean the stuff in there looks like stuff I already like and listen to so I'll give it a go
― niels, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:46 (five years ago) link
Anybody who is willing to have their 2018 microgenre list shared in this thread, state your Spotify username and I'll look it up.
― glenn mcdonald, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:50 (five years ago) link
According to it one of my top 5 artists and tracks is by someone called Jess & Gabriel, which according to last.fm I've never played. Weird as the rest of the top 100 seems spot on.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 6 December 2018 15:53 (five years ago) link
There's a Momus track on my Tastebreakers list that recycles a gag from Flight of the Conchords. Just thought I'd share this important information.

I got that track too!?
