Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.

  The reason I can’t let it go is because I actually would never find new music I like without it’s algorithm.

  I’m a bit old fashioned, when I want new music I listen to the radio, I get that doesn’t work for everyone though :)

      There’s even more radio stations. When one goes to commercial, I channel hop. :)

      There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.

  You just too used to agorithms. I have zero issue finding new music without them to th point whwre i has to stop exporing new artists because i already listen to over 2000 artists without algos

    It's not the quantity, it's the quality. Sure I can search for similar artists with other means, but the Spotify algo is just on point. Probably so after many years of feeding it my listening habits.

    I'll eventually drop it for a self hosted service with machine learning that I can train.

      Algorithms has no concept of artistic. It’s not about the quantity over quality for me either i believe that there is ten thousands or even hundred thousands of talented artists in the world
