am i, like, the only person on the planet who mentally categorizes music in terms of key, tempo, and instrumentation in addition to genre/style??  spotify, you could probably classify these features pretty easily and incorporate them in your recommendation model, instead of just going “this artist is similar to this other artist and this song by other artist is very popular, probably it belongs in this totally unrelated playlist”.  no i just want songs that are a similar tempo to the songs already in the playlist and have a saxophone.  thanks

#the trashcan speaks #YES this is about my 'normal songs with saxophone solos' playlist #but seriously you could at least differentiate 'has lyrics' from 'doesn't have lyrics' very easily #and then build a 'show only instrumental songs' filter #WHATEVER. nobody seems to have actually thought about the ux of music streaming more than 'does it look good' and 'can you make a playlist' #so what did i fucking EXPECT. #i mean i cant even filter search results by recording date. like oh my fucking god #okay okay time to take deep breaths -- WHY CAN'T I PUT THINGS ON SHELVES. WHY CAN'T I ORGANIZE MY ALBUMS MYSELF #why can't i make folders of playlists on spotify??? #theyre all just there in a list but i guess i should COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT I CAN REORDER THEM THERE. #oh but we moved the search bar in the latest update!!! great job guys you've solved music #yeah yeah i know they're too busy trying to proprietize podcasts and thus destroy the last vestige of rss. and thats probably why nobody #has time to think about the core app ux. #whatever!!! whatever!!! #spotify i will pay normal subscription costs if you'll let me just use your music library and write my own frontend #OH AND ASK ME HOW I FEEL ABOUT HAVING ALL MY MUSIC METADATA AND PLAYLISTS HELD CAPTIVE!! NOT VERY GOOD I TELL U #music tag
