Spotify - anyone heard of it?

Just don’t mention the streaming rate, ok,

They never rolled out that HiFi plan that they teased, did they?

this is a godsend honestly, the app itself is very clunky. https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_spotify

wow that's super cool

queue I was listening to just reset in the middle fo a podcast i was listening to. Wasn't sure what happened when it did this a couple of weeks ago when i was listening to things on my phone in another room when it just stopped dead. Seems like its done teh same thing again.
So this time i just happened to be sitting at the desktop when it did it. So there are no other factors in it that I'm aware of.
THought it might be my phone last time. Or something hitting the full capacity of memory being used, can't be with the desktop surely.
Pain , has me wondering what is causing that if it is somebody somewhere triggering my machine going off or if it is an automatyic thing somewhere. Annoying anyway.
I don't want to go to the bother of sticking a playlist together in a more time consuming way but are queues just open to being switched off somehow. I still don't get how this works so how to avoid it. I tend to listen to a podcast once so not going to be something I'm going to be wanting to revisit like it was a sequence of music.

So Wrapped this year is just a couple of playlists? I don't see any neato/perplexing stats or anything in the app.

There's a button on the Top Tracks playlist (phone app version) that's supposed to take you to a slide show like last year, but it's not working for everybody.

If you share your top tracks playlist and someone clicks on it it just brings them to their own top tracks playlist , not yours
I know it’s probably a feature and not a bug right

if it isn't showing for you try updating the app, i did that and then it appeared on the home menu

Your Artists Revealed looks kind of weird.

In case anyone missed it up thread

Nobody here cares about that, apparently. This appears to be a safe space for Ek and his Skynet-y plans

To my coworkers sharing that your top artists were Kanye, John Mayer, etc.… yr IG Stories are making me see you in a new light!

My Wrapped had a slide show. I was in the top 0.5% of Tori Amos listeners, which sounds right

I’m in the top 0.5 of Sparks listeners.

does glenn still post here? a friend asked me what “permanent wave” was and i couldn’t really explain. is it like new wave, but not so new anymore?

refers to hair in a pompadour, like the rest of the Romeos wore, iirc

Sucks so hard to see artists I like posting about their 2 million streams knowing that paid like $4000 if they're lucky.

I'm in the top 1% of Grouper listeners around the world apparently. My prize is a week on a foggy hillside and a jumper with the sleeves slightly too long.

I've got the wrapped playlists but no stats :(

They’re wrapped in a very annoying Innocent smoothie wrapper and there’s no way to skip through the guff. You can have mine if you want. Once again Cliff Martinez is my favourite artist, just because I use the Solaris to try to sleep.

Yeah, 3 of my top 5 artists are Celer, Nomist & Loscil because they're what I leave on every night when I'm going to sleep

Huh - even my boss just IG’d that her top artist is the one she uses to fall asleep every night. I didn’t know so many ppl did that

Does Youtube Music have anything other than the Year In Review playlist? I'd love to join everyone in posting stats.

my other top artists were brian eno, steve tibbetts, and harold budd — all folks i play nightly to fall asleep to.

also that military alignment is wild. having visions of kate bush's "experiment iv" coming to life.

I'm in the top 0.05% for autechre! I like to listen to them while I work

I did the update, but now can't get past the first slide of the slideshow without the app crashing.

If Spotify has money to get into ai weapons, they certainly have money to fix this (and pay artists more).

I would cancel (for a variety of reasons) but my wife is also on my family account and good luck trying to convince her. Subscriptions suck

Also the lolz of them sending you an email about how 'your wrapped is ready' with a link that takes you to the desktop site in your browser and tells you that you need the app to actually see it (and it won't let you go from there to either your desktop app or the phone one to see it).

My actual top artist has got to be one of the children's songs artists my son listens to all day but that didn't show up in the list. I guess it gets filtered out?

Seems they (sort of) do

My song list skewed by certain tunes being on repeat for an extended period and artist list by POLL-related listening but I’ll take it.

Mine is definitely wrong. I don't remember listening to hardly any Beach Boys or Tom Waits this year, and yet Sault and Autechre don't figure at all in my top 100.

Then the rest is Soca and afrobeats bangers interspersed with orchestral versions of video game soundtracks I listen to for concentration at work

Just got the invite to order one of these, so I did.

finally checked my spotify wrapped, i was only in the top 0.1% for autechre, massive fail. and my top two moods were tender and yearning *gazes wistfully*

The "top X%" of BAND listeners is interesting but probably massively skewed by individuals who listened to a single song on a playlist or sampled BAND at some point. I would like to see how long the tails are on those stats and would be more interested in where I rank among "fans," however that might be defined.

On an unrelated note, as of last week my Spotify web player is completely fucked. I will press play on an album and it will play the first 2 seconds of each of the first five or so songs in a row, then play about 10 seconds of the sixth song, then just stop. A google search suggests others resolved this by creating an entirely new account and having Spotify migrate everything over, which is insane? Have to play everything off my phone now. Ugh.

Think I had maybe the same moods, and my 0.1% was a POLL-driven Afghan Whigs!

Sorry, not quite, mine was innovative and wistful.

And I was top 0.05% Whigs.

POLL-driven Todd Rundgren was my #2 artist.

It's my assumption that % is calculated from a population of people who listened to x artist at all, rather than all Spotify users, but I could be wrong.

Any idea why some friends have suddenly disappeared from my friend activity feed? I know they've been active lately and I like to keep up with what they're listening to.

i think that means they turned off the setting to share what theyre listening to

We [Spotify, not me] recently changed the default sharing setting from Yes to No, so anybody who had never touched that setting will have sharing off now. They can turn it on, but since you don't see the sharing on the phone apps, the vast majority of people didn't know it existed and didn't know other people could see their listening to begin with.
