If you haven’t heard yet, in big 2026 we’re all ditching Microslop for systems that actually respect you, and we’re also breaking up with our ever-pricier Spotify subscriptions in exchange for actual ownership of the media we consume. So, for Fun February, I thought I’d take a look at some of the apps we can use to fill the Spotify-shaped void.

Yes

mpv --shuffle --force-window=yes

for opening a playlist.

--force-window, because some tracks might have cover art, while others don't, which causes mpv to hid and then again show later on, causing it to pop up on top of other stuff you might be doing.
