I’ve played Liked Songs on random shuffle and it’s no secret that Spotify messed up their algorithm. As I’ve played it on random and the amount of times I hear the same song in the span of 30 or so songs is 2-3 times. I once looked into it, to see if I had doubles of the same song but from albums/eps/singles and more often than not, it wasn’t the case.
I also have times when I want to listen to a certain mood or style of music. That’s when my plethora of playlists come in.
No, I sort by date (last downloaded) and keep replaying few newly added songs on loop for hours until I download another.
Although it depends on way of access.
Folder music player on phone - sorting by date or shuffle playlist - rapid playlist (directory) switching
VLC player on laptop - sorting alphabetically or shuffle playlist - rare playlist (directory) switching
Navidrome server - whole albums or newly added played individually - rare playlist use (shuffle)*
* playlists generated using ls playlist_dir/* > playlist.m3u
Wait you guys don’t just shuffle all liked songs and listen to that every time?
No thanks, I don’t wanna listen to 2015 me’s music taste
Fair
Cause liked songs have multiple genres, which does not corresponds to the mood you are! Have playlists by genre or artist, it’s works better IMO.
Right? Why wouldn’t I just want a random grab bag of every song I’ve ever enjoyed? It keeps you on your toes, that’s for sure.
