  • Could you do a solid prank for this random internet stranger and queue up the following:

    8 x one favorite slightly annoying song (‘moves like jagger’, or ‘we built this city’ would be my suggestion)

    1 x Photograph (pause for the unison sigh of relief from the patrons)

    1+ x the same slightly annoying song played in a row already.

    I’ll bring popcorn.




















  • If you close your eyes, you can metaphorically hear the tides changing on the music streaming industry. The fall of Netflix is such a stark reminder of how fast these convenient services can morph into user hostile experiences.

    Plus, there is the added philosophical discussion about what it means to allow a centralized corporate media conglomerate to curate your music for you. I’d imagine that their insentivisation structure over what should be heard is different than yours.

    For serious though, I hypothesize that your library/playlist data (xml, maybe? somewhere? I’m just starting the journey of offloading.) is more valuable to users than the music itself. Next step is figuring out how to export Spotify’s data.
