Anyone else make a playlist every month of just random stuff you’re listening to? I do, I like going back to see what I was listening to when. Not necessarily new stuff, just whatever’s in your ears.
Anyway, might be cool to share them. Here’s my January, so far:
Normally do a big 2023 one, but as it’s Jan, there were go
I guess this counts for now
I do this as well, same format as you where it’s not just new stuff but anything that catches my ear. Could even be something I notice in a tv show or movie, I just like having a record of what caught my ear at certain times. I did monthly ones for a while in 2016 but reverted to quarterly – naming them after seasons but technically they’re Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, etc. Might change names to Q1, Q2, etc. who knows.
I do a yearly catch all playlist for anything that isn’t released in that year that catches my ear
Last year I made a playlist where I drop songs that catch my ear and then make an order and name it once it gets to 2 hours and I start over. I ended up with 60 over the course of 2022. I was doing it this year too but instead of spamming them I made a 2023 catch-all that I’ll add to in 2-hour chunks. Whatever doesn’t come up publicly is probably Bandcamp
i don’t usually do this even tho i mean to every year, but this year, this year is different
should prob do it monthly, much more manageable. it is literally just what has caught my ear this month, or for like making a note of to listen back to later. it does annoy me a bit that you can’t change the settings so that when you add to a playlist it automatically goes to the top of the list rather than the bottom
Custom order is the default (ordered by date added, newest at bottom) but Recently Added reversed that for exactly what you described.
The sort option can be hard to find because you have to scroll up from the default playlist view to access it and the search field.
ooh yeah that’s in a weird spot in it! thanks tho
87 songs in a month. Fuck sake
My playlists are more a work in progress/ dumping ground and not the best for sharing. I have a yearly playlist for albums and another for singles. I make a list with my top 5 from the DiS Album of the Month thread.
and to go on a tangent…
For the last nine years I have a no rules, anything goes playlist series to soundtrack my creative adventures. (Painting/drawing & my vintage clothing business) Which I add to as and when a song perks my interest. It’s all over the place. Currently having a re-listen and I’m on number 4
