I'm noticing that shuffling large playlists for roku seems to work better when I launch them in the roku app rather than launching from a separate device. For some reason, hitting shuffle on a different device and then connecting to roku causes it to diminish the range of tracks it shuffles.
I really wish the roku app would give you a menu for songs that takes you to the related album/artist page/radio list. Also wish the search function was better at searching up artists. It strange that it can't do this.

Sonos is the same - can’t shuffle large playlists.

The classic “Greatest Hits” compilation of Fleetwood Mac (the Peter Green-era band) has a bizarre alternate tracklist missing most of that era of the band’s most important hits: Green Manalishi, Oh Well (Pts 1 & 2), Man of the World.
It even features doctored art so those titles don’t appear on the front. All the relevant tracks are on Spotify elsewhere though.
That’s weird.

this one?

probably a rights issue on those early tunes
I somehow never realized Green Manalishi was never on a studio LP!

the Game of Thrones show creators created a playlist dedicated to the show that's featured on the spotify splash page and would you be shocked that of the 51 songs, 48 are sung by men

i do respect that they threw prince's "sister" on the playlist tho

choosing songs because their titles somewhat tie into a theme is the lowest form of playlist creation

The one listed as "Gallop" looks like the 2015 reissue with titles translated to English. Lepidoptera is here: https://open.spotify.com/album/5VRkFwDGXmrv5AiRVHyiob?si=YJumVND2RbCQEjTOE-FtDg

Anyone else have the incredibly irritating thing where the desktop app refuses to search for what you have typed in the searchbar, and instead keeps on returning results for your previous search?

― Mordy, Friday, 3 May 2019 15:13 (five years ago) link
the decline of music journalism (if that is in fact what is happening) isn't the fault of spotify. bandcamp does a better job of curation than spotify but can't match spotify's massive catalog. this guy is having choice fatigue but if you're able to source good recommendations (like maybe from ILM, or doing independent research) bandcamp can't match the spotify library. the compensation for artist question is obv a good one but unrelated to the complaints he's trying to root his thesis in.

On my album picks today was the deluxe edition of 'Foxbase Alpha' by Saint Etienne https://open.spotify.com/album/1qAnfCre0JU0IREm1esVJU?si=Ai0w_22HS-Gv-IfFBQeuCw which piqued my interests as afaik the deluxe editions have never been on Spotify. So I do a search for Saint Etienne Deluxe and a couple of the comiplations show up, but no Foxbase Alpha deluxe. Do a search for Foxbase Alpha and only the standard edition shows. What's going on with the search?
― Dan Worsley, Sunday, 5 May 2019 17:40 (four years ago) link
Looks like the Deluxe Edition is only actually available in Ireland. We match up tracks by audio, so that's why you can play the first "disc" of the deluxe edition, and 3 of the 14 songs on the second one: those tracks are available on other releases...
― glenn mcdonald, Sunday, 5 May 2019 18:00 (four years ago) link
Thanks Glenn. That's a shame, wonder why they're available in Ireland but not the UK.
― Dan Worsley, Sunday, 5 May 2019 19:40 (four years ago) link
Can't see anywhere to report errors on Spotify unless I have a "role" in the music industry. Anyway glenn, if you can be bothered, Leonard Cohen's track "True Love Leaves No Traces" from Death of a Ladies' Man is listed as True Loves plural.
― Alba, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 18:50 (four years ago) link
I'll ask people to ask the label to fix that. Cohen deserves it.
― glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 23:20 (four years ago) link
Many thanks glenn!
― Alba, Thursday, 9 May 2019 06:19 (four years ago) link
https://support.spotify.com/us/contact-spotify-anonymous/ seems to be the place for this kind of thing (select on "Report an offensive or broken track/album"). I've reported the Cohen error there.
