My "Liked Music" playlist has 630 songs.
Cool, but can we talk about how YouTube Music only shuffles the first twenty or so? I desperately need a way to export my playlist so I can pirate the music and properly shuffle it on an open source mp3 player.

    i like to make sequels every year or so. i’m currently on “liked songs 4”. it gives me the chaos of a liked songs playlist, but with the comfort that only recently liked songs will play. (i will never unlike a song)

    This is my strategy too, except I make new playlists every January and seperate the songs by year. So I have 2017, 2018, 2019, etc playlists of songs that came out that year. Then I go through the songs from that year and add the absolute bangers to an ultimate playlist. I also never unlike a song.

    When I was first developing my music taste I did this too. I had "songs I like 2018 edition", "songs I like 2019 edition" then discovered Spotify and everything morphed into a singular "liked songs" playlist :D

    If there's one thing I'd want AI to do is to organize my music library :)

    Although I don't unerstand why can't Spotify just give me list of artists/genres/etc. that I listen to and allow me to play only specific ones. I could even do that on my freakin old iPod Nano and it's year 2024 for god sake! But from what I see Spotify programmers are more busy with removing features than adding anything useful nowadays. I am also still mad that they have removed radio feature and they didn't provide an alternative.

    And while they're at it, can it sort out the pics on my phone into "pics of dog" and "pics I took to show a client what the problem was then forgot to delete and now take up two thirds of my storage"?

    Spotify should support tags. It would be so easy to have one giga playlist and just tag the songs accordingly to Genre, moods, memories, etc.

    They recently did an update on mobile which basically treats playlists as tags, in that you press the + button and you can easily add and remove songs from multiple playlists with a single click. I'm probably not describing it that well, but it's one of the best features they've added in years!

    I don't make new playlists to split by genre, I do it so the shuffle will actually fucking work. I don't know what dogshit algorithms Youtube/Spotify employ, but for any playlist over 100 songs the "shuffler" will typically just go through the same ~20 songs and expect you to not notice. I just want a different order!

    Anyway now I have like 40 playlists with 20 songs each.

    Apparently back in the covered wagon days when shuffle features were truly random, the listener would occasionally be burdened by hearing two songs by the same artist in a row. Literally no one complained about this, so of course upper management decided that this must be "fixed" immediately, so that's what led to shuffle features becoming noticeably worse than when they were simply random, which is all anyone ever wanted them to be.

    Actually, and I don't mean to be that guy, but people did complain about it.

    True random means that you could end up with songs by the same artist being played four or five times in a row, which makes people think it's not random at all. Humans are really bad at understanding randomness, so a little help to make it feel more random improves satisfaction.

    But at this point, it's gone too far and I'm almost certain that shuffling involves always playing the most popular songs by an artist first, then random covers and remixes, then the back-catalog of works.

    On a side note, I wish I could exclude remixes and covers when shuffling through an artist's stuff.

    I mean the liked songs list let's you separate by genre. When it knows what genre it is, and no Spotify, the Damned are not a pop group.

    1M songs is absurd. How many does Spotify even have?

    Yeah thats unfeasible as fuck, that would be listening to and liking over 800 songs a day for 10 years

    I haven’t been using social media for 10+ years besides some on/off shitposting on hacker news. I’d love to find something for music management that’s not sucky and uber corpo like Spotify. I use Bandcamp for buying from niche artists and sound cloud for finding new labels, but sound cloud is too Spotifyish now. Deezer used to be nice before they started region restrictions.

    I do as well. Unfortunately my taste is all over the place. If I play my liked songs on shuffle I get Country, Techno, Chanson, Drum and Bass, Metal, Tekkno, Pop, Hardbass, Grime, Breakcore, Hip-hop and then a four hour DJ set.

    Assuming an average of 4 minutes per song, that is 7 years and 8 months of music. I wonder how much time the ads would add?

    It's not even on shuffle, either, so he's just listening straight through.
