I think that’s a compliment :wink:

I dunno, I just found that with access to essentially everything, I listened to everything twice. I needed some way to order thing.

You are my new hero.

Definitely a compliment. My Spotify is a mess. I should just delete everything, start again and mirror what you do.

ilu

would you be willing to share your Brass playlist?

Sure… It ain’t very exciting. I just chucked a couple of albums in a folder and never really followed through with developing it. But it is going in two ways; American stuff like Youngblood Brass Band and High & Mighty Brass Band. And a British side with bands like Hackney Colliery Band and albums by Briitish Sea Power and The Unthanks, who worked with more tradition brass bands.

A quick question that I pretty much already know the answer to…but is there any way of organising the way you “view” your playlists i.e. view all albums (or artists) in a grid view, so that it’s easier to see everything that’s listed (basically in the way you can do in iTunes)?

Used to organise all my album-based playlists like this, and it was a great way of collecting things I wanted to listen to, and it’s much more fiddly on Spotify :confused:

Cannot compare to this scale of this at all…but I do have folders for years, artists, genres and “Situations”. My favourites always used to be my yearly album ones, would have “example year” 1-10, 11-20, 21-30 etc etc. Used to love looking at those in iTunes grid view (hence the above post) and thinking about how the album art all complimented each other :nerd_face:

only listen to albums really apart from my ‘misc junk’ playlist which has novelty singles and shit in

edit: oh and i add new albums to ones like ‘2019 albums’ etc

never ever ever call Ms Torrini junk EVER again

I like her a lot. It’s just odd tracks I like that don’t really belong elsewhere. Didn’t think much of that album but loved that track.
