It should be illegal for public places to have a giant playlist that they put on shuffle. Or, if not illegal, they should at least be rated by a non ministerial agency like the one for food hygiene and made to display their rating clearly near the entrance.
The gold standard should be numerous playlists based on hype level, ten being the most hype and one the least hype. Staff at the shop or pub or whatever then select a playlist based on the hype level required.

The inspectors should pay more attention to consistent levels of hype across a playlist than to how frequently it’s updated, but frequent freshening up should be looked upon kindly too, good suggestion
