I like this method of gathering newly discovered tracks into one place. On Spotify I find myself getting introduced to new music and thinking "I will love this, but it's not my mood right now" and the track can get lost later in the oceans of playlists :) Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you for your insight! When I realized I couldn't find what I was looking for when I wanted to listen to some nostalgic music, I realized it was time to organize my playlists. This helped me find my ideal way to sort all my playlists. It's been a monumental task with over 6000+ songs but it makes me feel much better knowing I can find what I want to listen to when I'm in the mood. With Spotify's folder play feature it makes it nice to listen to a whole Parent Genre but also allows me to listen to a specific sub-genre of my choice when I want.
hahahah I've been waiting for Spotify adding the folders function and was kinda pissed about it. Now i've found out it already exists hahaha THANKS bro!!
Wow, this is crazy! I never knew you could organize your playlists this way in Spotify. This is definitely a game-changer for me. Thank you so much for making this video! :)
Found a Few new things, one is after experience of using Spotify and trying/attempting to understand its organization techniques, a big-tip is to use the 'Sort-By' Tab at the top.. what it does is organize music/tunes alphabetically.. not only does it do this, but it also... amalgamates the tunes so they are together than separate... What I've been doing a lot in my Spotify is Going through each of my playlists and making sure its well organized within each playlist.. so its all displayed in a clear and cohesive way... and a lot of it was a mess frankly, so I started pulling/dragging the tunes so they were together under one artist... rather than many tunes of same artist being scattered everywhere in that playlist, to form like 'Clusters of tunes in one artist, repeat and repeat again etc'.. This was the first step to cleaning up my Library of songs/tunes which was scattered/randomised... the 2nd is obviously organizing them so they appear in alphabetical/chronological order.. I found rather than actually organizing the tunes myself (which is still an option...), I can click at the top of the playlist where it says 'artist' and it organizes all the artists in alphabetical order, so its best of both worlds.. you get them clustered together under same artist over them being scattered (but under the same artist).. but of course its Alphabetical as well so you can go down and clearly locate the track your looking for.. I also found another feature not too long ago also, which was views.. it seems like a small feature but its actually huge, the implications are biggggg.. since you can pick out the best tracks that way, and organize tracks by views as well, it becomes another criterion for sorting/organizing your tracks.. with most viewed/popular at the top, to least popular at the bottom.. again just another set/layer of organization... you can really get creative with spotify with the tools they provide.. using them in different ways.. to your own strength/source of inspiration.. I find the longer the time you spend on Spotify alone the more creative you are.. you naturally pick up on things.. and you have these brainwaves in the moment that really changes the way that you use it/see it and of course listen to music...
I like your video and the idea. I have the same thing but double, so for genres and for moods. Also, I'm thinking about adding a time category (90s pop is different to 2020s pop). The problem with that is that for each song you have to manually add it to multiple playlists. So, what I actually would like to have from spotify is three things: 1) Feature to define "Tags categories" for your complete spotify account 2) Feature to define "Tags" for each song for each tag category. 3) Feature to automatically create playlists based on a selection of tags. So let's hope some spotify guy sees this comment^^
Nice, I think 'm going to create more mood based playlists as well, keeps things a bit more free and creative. The implementation of tags would be awesome, I would also love to see a rating functionality as I am now organizing playlists manually on track preference. Basically it's becoming more like Notion than, and though I think it's a great add-on for us, I'm quite skeptical if Spotify will ever do this. I think the power for the majority of its users is the extreme simplicity of the platform and all these add-ons would make things more confusing for the default user I assume.
Make Mp3 Spotify Track.. Convert MP3 to Spotify-Format.. Basically Create your own Spotify Tunes using MP3 File as format.. and then register under Spotify.. to make it mainstream/official.. Enabling the USER themselves to determine a track that should be added to Spotify.. and Later AI.. in its place..
Actually found yet another thing.. which is to place all tracks in one place.. so that you get an accurate counter of all music.. also if you have separate artists, may be an idea to have artists that have multiple-big hit songs at the top, and then artists with less top-hit songs at the bottom.. two quantities of conglomeration in terms of popularity.. I will compile all this into one comment.. since its frequent new ideas that have come in.. and yeah.. also the disadvantage there IS with folders of not being instantly accessible.. something I see as a surprisingly to the contrary, a weakness.. issue with things being ultra organized in filing system, is the files/folders themselves.. any time you have you to multi click into multiple folders is when it takes multiple clicks to get in.. whereas you could literally have Instant-Access Menu with Generic Themes/Headings.. I'm guessing by themes you meant like main themes, like main titles/headings... This is what I'm going to do, is have Separate Section, and Type the word 'Instant' in it.. short for 'Instant Access'.. well for me it would be Instant/Themes.. because I like to write words where they get smaller and smaller and smaller until they hit the bottom.. because your fixated upon than one theme, where that theme could be any number of letters/characters across, I like to have it all put at the top of Spotify Playlist, largest word to smallest word... another tip is to draw on your old playlists as inspiration.. may be something you can scavenge there/repurpose..
Great video, came across this when I was searching answers to how to cope with the new Spotify update. I was heavy user of that 'drag from right column to the left column' too, but this update renders that action impossible as you cannot see 'Your Library' page in the main browsing area anymore, only in the left sidebar. Organizing my Spotify playlists now is as delighting as eating glass, how are you coping with these new updates?
Saw that too today. My first experience with the new UX isn't great, although the main setup I use still seems to be intact. My process mainly involves dragging tracks from to the different playlists in the left column, and I found that when you select "compact mode" in preferences the old setup still works.
Just found your profile, but there no way for you to export all that and share it with all us? Since on your Spotify profile only the public playlists appear
@@nilspaarWhat I mean is that folder-like structure you made on your side bar. Don't know if theres any way you can export that or share it with us. Didn't knew there were that many subgenre and would love to hear each category and discover the meaby subtle or not difference between them all
Hey, this is great! Single most creative, unique and true to the title "tutorial". I was wondering what about the mobile spotify, folders don't exist for mobile version
Found something you can improve on.. under each Category you could have a bunch of Artists/Albums/Singles, because say you open techno or something your then left with load of , Love channel name btw, like art of perfecting the system.. I absolutely love it.. actually you do have that, recall you saying you had individual tracks/artists and then generic theme/overarching theme up top with bunch of artists in that category.. still having issue with organizing multi-genre tunes.. as always..
You know I actually just started doing that! I now also have subfolders containing albums in each each subgenre. For multi-genre tracks I just create an experimental list and drop them in multiple lists. Does the trick for me :)
@@nilspaar Oh and sort by year, like a year archive, organize it by like year 2022, and year 2021 and 2020 and going all the way back to however early you want.. 40's/30/20's even, (electro, swing, bebop etc), 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 2010's, 2020's. Sort-by: 1.Decade/Year/Time 2.Artist 3.Single 4.Album 5.Genre They are like Criterion.. Research other playlists also.. Improving every day.. I have a bunch of tunes, that all say 2022, only issue with that is that a lot of tunes I enjoy are not from 2022 but last month ago/year ago 2021.. it would be like playlist MADE in 2022 but with old school/nostalgia stuff or a 2022 playlist (with 2022 songs), why I think its good to separate them out.. but Organization the same.. like drop down menu, with 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 etc etc to the time you were born/first started listening to music.. but then there you would either go back in decades or also singular years.. maybe decades, then drop down 10 years wrote down.. then next then next etc.. going up/down in 10's definitely makes sense.. nice round number, also that's what I used to do when I was studying music as a subject back at college.. if you went up/down in 5's well now you can't call it 20's 10's 00's, 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's 40's and so on.. because they would all equate to difference of 10's in years... like 2010's, wouldn't be 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, it would be 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... then your on 2020/2020's but if you went up in 5's you could no longer call it that.. like 00's/10's/20's because it would only factor in the 1st five, not the ten that its mean to illustrate.. and being able to call it 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, 20's is so nice.. because its a common practice and relates to our ways of categorizing years/time, and its a nice rounded number.. with precise scales of each 10 years.. working it other way through 5's just wouldn't work, unless you specified that in description, like under drop down menu/category of 2010's, you then have further drop down menu, 2010-2015, 2015-2020. I guess it could work, but imo its easier to do it in 10's/tens.. though 5 is a nice factor of 10, just double to get 10.. 2's fit into 10's but its just not worth (might as well stick with 1's in years), 3's doesn't fit (9 closest, when times by 3), 4's doesn't fit (8 closest to ten you could get when times by 2), 6's, 7's, 8's, 9's again all wouldn't work (9 maybe, nearest/closest number to 10 without going into the next category, although doesn't really matter if it hits the next digit, like 2019, then 2020, then next category starts from same year also, 2020 2021, 2022, 2023 all the way to 2030 for the 20's category, when it actually gets to that year, for now we just do 2022).. 1's, 5's, 9's and 00's are best figures to categorize years by... 2's fit but again why would you do that when you can just do 1's and have precise year/measurement of time... 5's is good/does the job, not really preferable for me.. but its optional, nothing wrong with doing that as long as you specify under say 2010's drop down-menu/tab, 2010-2015, 2015-2020, or even do that and then go up in ones for every 5 years (even though 5 is even, its half of 10 which is a nice factor of 10 being even, or do me and go up in 1's in 10's.. the minute I stick/you stick a number to your playlist, is the time where you need to start organizing all the dates of your tracks.. like me with my new-year 2022 Fiesto playlist.. its a type of categorization, a unit of measurement.. the very act of adding a number, of any kind.. even just one adds new dimension to playlists.. Hope this makes sense...
The only downside is that it doesn’t work with the Spotify Apple CarPlay app, if you have more than one playlist in a folder it will combine them all together
So you can't just add a Podcast to a folder? You have to add a playlist and update it by manually adding episodes? OMG spotify, just let me put podcasts in a folder!
I have about 800 songs in five playlists for listening to in the gym. As I remember old songs from way back, I add them. This is a recent example: ruclips.net/video/LAFCcE0VUUo/видео.html The problem is that I can find nothing on Spotify that will prevent duplicates among the playlists and even in one playlist. Does anyone know of such a setting? I created a relational database into which I'm entering all songs. This will quickly show up any duplicates, but entering 800 songs is a lot of work.
u use that? believe me, theres a lot u wont find on there. its the thing with art...it usually finds U! hey, i dont judge u...its all Love, Bro. what do Aya n shrooms "tell" u? what do u think is the sound/language of the Youniverse? and wen decentralized audio platform? next level: how do algorithms "know" what feels how? we usually cant even really describe it in our own words, no? (maybe check book 'Sweet Anticipation' - David Huron)
I didn't know that book, just searched for it and it looks very interesting. Added to my list, thanks! The other points: Art finding you / not everything being on Spotify: Fair point, but you can also guide the process a bit imo. Spotify isn't the only source for music I use, but is definitely the place where I discover most new artists and music. I can't even count the amount of amazing artists I found on it. Often I then look them up on other platforms and follow them there in order to be exposed to everything they create. Plus you can also import tracks that are stored on your local device. Decentralized audio platform: I fully agree that I would want to see a decentralized form of Spotify (and even RUclips) in the future, this would be very desirable. This is actually also a topic Zowie and I are often syncing on; what is the right course of action here? To not use these platforms? They still are 10x better than the competition in terms of user experience. Not using them doesn't seem feasible, the only real solution I see is to either create a 10x better platform yourself, or to support others that are trying to build it. Algorithms: This I find to be one of the biggest challenges in modern life; living in harmony with algorithms. It's obvious that big tech algorithms are designed in order to keep you on their platform. Your attention is the most valuable asset. Working in digital marketing myself, I'm aware of this and it's an area I struggle with at times. However, I don't see these new algorithms necessarily as bad, or evil. I see them as a new phenomenon we have to learn to live with, and if we can master them, they have the potential to be an extremely powerful tool. Basically, I think one of the core tasks in the Information Age is to train your algorithms in order to let them work for you, in stead of the other way around.
@@nilspaar he who seeks shall find. i think being aware is key here, once again hehe. and everything has its Rhythm in the Universe: i still use Bandcamp a lot. maybe im too lazy to do a sub on Spotify or dont want to pay for "mainstream". and i see no vinyl i could order there as well as the artist cant really decide much about the price structure. 'Catalog.Works' looks kinda promising to me ('Audius' i dont resonate with tbh), and i started using 'Odysee/LBRY' more. oh, i dont see algorithms as "good" or "bad" either (being "non-dual"); we kinda are ones ourselves, no? have u checked out 'OpenAI' already? greetings, hiveMind
@@bazmalaza85 Haha true! I like the non-dual perspective on algorithms. I have checked out OpenAI but not too thoroughly, I am pretty optimistic about SingularityNET (and DAO) though. Thanks again for the recommendations by the way, I wasn't aware of Catalog Works. Audius I have heard of but haven't used it yet, why are you not a fan? Looks pretty slick imo.
@@nilspaar from Goertzel the transhumanist? nah Bro. Audius is too mainstreamy n EDM heavy for my taste...plus i have the feeling 3LAU is in the "Country Club" (maybe check Lana Del Reys song/lyrics n music video if u dont understand what i mean n maybe dont believe in that "symbolism stuff"...). i trust my judge of character here, brought me a long way already...
@@bazmalaza85 Transhumanism is an interesting point, in a sense the entire Second Brain concept is quite a transhumanist concept, don't you agree? Are you against using a Second Brain? We're actually planning to do a video / talk on this as it's something I'm sparring with Zowie about often. What's you take on that? And yup, no idea what you mean with 3LAU and Lana Del Reys lyrics, I have some homework again :D
where do you find these genres? also I realize you have psychadelic trance there... that's pretty cool.. never even realized there was a psychadelic trance category, that's awesome! one of my favourite categories is actually Drum and Bass, but its a sub-genre within genre.. called 'Intelligent Drum and Bass', there is literally sounds of the future right there.. reminds me of a old school game I played back in the day 'Super Monkey Ball', which had a hugee gathering.. for the time.. it does sound very atmospheric if you listen out.. you can hear those fragrant tunes in the background.. I just love it.. also podcast is cool idea.. might have to try that out.. might learn things didn't/wouldn't have known otherwise.. I think it is worth connecting to spotify to facebook because then people can listen to what your listening to, and you can see what they listen to.. although I also get might want to keep it confidential so that's fine.. I also have category with 'ALL-ARTIST' or 'ALL-MUSIC', but interesting to see you just use the title of the genre instead.. that's a good idea...
I mainy gather new music on Spotify through playlists, and full sets on RUclips, Soundcloud, and Mixcloud. If you're into psychedelic trance, I recommend the RUclips channel "Electric Samurai", this guy is putting out high-quality mixes every week. I also dig Drum and Bass, especially crossbreed (crossover between dnb and hardcore), but are not that familiar with, going to check out Intelligent Drum and Bass right now! :)
@@nilspaar beats port is also great place to find music.. I saw it on Spotify as well.. like artist links and stuff.. used it before already.. but just reinforces fact it's good.. they have search engine where you can find the SPECIFIC GENRE of any track within a Suppos-edd genre.. usually artists fall Into multiple genres.. but with that tool rather than dropping them all into house, all into trance, all into drum and bass say.. you can split the Specific genre tracks within the 'suppose-edd-' genre and specific each track to its genre belonging to the artist.. I believe that's why they have multiple genres for artist. Though could be wrong and tracks happen to fall into multiple genres..
@@tommychappell6359 Ok nice, will check it our, in my experience the genres on those platforms often are way too generic, but haven't checked it for a while.
RUclips 'errored' my comment thank you much, comment go delete (spent so long thinking about). go kaput (how rude, what a bastard xd). just going to say spotify isn't best in terms of music, tidal and other music softwares similar are king (come with Hifi), howeverrr spotify does have one thing going and thats its user experience (king of experience). This is 1 thing that is currently weighing down spotify imo, also like where feature where could sort like 3 different 'sorts' for a list and name each. ( I like have them together by artist but then having best artists at top, to worst at lowest of list ). If they implement Hifi it will be number 1 for me. currently place at number 2. after Tidal. It will be number 1 by far (if implemented), also if they make sort-feature suggested (multi-sort), think would be cool (just me probably). like to keep super organized or try to. Also I haven't seen any updates in years. I know taking down lot of tracks for content in them deemed outside of policy. but apart from that same layout for ages, Im not complaining they don't need to change much. but just yeah haven't changed all that much (from what I have seen over years). I think they should have multi-feature thing where can drag and drop and decide on features (would be really nice edition). to customize experience more. cause like say haven't changed layout/much years. apart from odd things like maybe few extra recommendations stuff. terms of overall experience its definitely in number 1 I just wish update soon, cause havent seen new features for ages. I think good criticism. would make user experience better/comfortable/with more customizability/control, and fun. also well done on playlist (holy crap), god tierrr. maybe not opening statement lol, but everything apart from top tier. also what was thing, like sort by genre/sort by mood, sort by theme? how many main ways do people look for music. I remember saying ages ago but not shown here.

I have a bunch of tunes, that all say 2022, only issue with that is that a lot of tunes I enjoy are not from 2022 but last month ago/year ago 2021.. it would be like playlist MADE in 2022 but with old school/nostalgia stuff or a 2022 playlist (with 2022 songs), why I think its good to separate them out.. but Organization the same.. like drop down menu, with 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 etc etc to the time you were born/first started listening to music.. but then there you would either go back in decades or also singular years.. maybe decades, then drop down 10 years wrote down.. then next then next etc.. going up/down in 10's definitely makes sense.. nice round number, also that's what I used to do when I was studying music as a subject back at college.. if you went up/down in 5's well now you can't call it 20's 10's 00's, 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's 40's and so on.. because they would all equate to difference of 10's in years... like 2010's, wouldn't be 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, it would be 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... then your on 2020/2020's but if you went up in 5's you could no longer call it that.. like 00's/10's/20's because it would only factor in the 1st five, not the ten that its mean to illustrate.. and being able to call it 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, 20's is so nice.. because its a common practice and relates to our ways of categorizing years/time, and its a nice rounded number.. with precise scales of each 10 years..
working it other way through 5's just wouldn't work, unless you specified that in description, like under drop down menu/category of 2010's, you then have further drop down menu, 2010-2015, 2015-2020. I guess it could work, but imo its easier to do it in 10's/tens.. though 5 is a nice factor of 10, just double to get 10.. 2's fit into 10's but its just not worth (might as well stick with 1's in years), 3's doesn't fit (9 closest, when times by 3), 4's doesn't fit (8 closest to ten you could get when times by 2), 6's, 7's, 8's, 9's again all wouldn't work (9 maybe, nearest/closest number to 10 without going into the next category, although doesn't really matter if it hits the next digit, like 2019, then 2020, then next category starts from same year also, 2020 2021, 2022, 2023 all the way to 2030 for the 20's category, when it actually gets to that year, for now we just do 2022).. 1's, 5's, 9's and 00's are best figures to categorize years by... 2's fit but again why would you do that when you can just do 1's and have precise year/measurement of time... 5's is good/does the job, not really preferable for me.. but its optional, nothing wrong with doing that as long as you specify under say 2010's drop down-menu/tab, 2010-2015, 2015-2020, or even do that and then go up in ones for every 5 years (even though 5 is even, its half of 10 which is a nice factor of 10 being even, or do me and go up in 1's in 10's.. the minute I stick/you stick a number to your playlist, is the time where you need to start organizing all the dates of your tracks.. like me with my new-year 2022 Fiesto playlist.. its a type of categorization, a unit of measurement.. the very act of adding a number, of any kind.. even just one adds new dimension to playlists..
Hope this makes sense...
Thank you man, you helped me a lot!
You're welcome! 🙏
Thank you for the information!
Thanks for sharing, you will find something new in my playlist 😁🤘 :)
very nice
If this guy made a film, it would be inception
lol
The only downside is that it doesn’t work with the Spotify Apple CarPlay app, if you have more than one playlist in a folder it will combine them all together
Do you know how sort by date like in 2000s-2019s in a playlist?
hardstyle broda
hi bro, could you please tell me how did you reduce the size of the fonts and images of the playlist in the home
Top left '...' -> View -> Zoom Out (keyboard shortcut should be 'CTRL' + '-'
@@rhw14 thanks bro
thanks !!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
So you can't just add a Podcast to a folder? You have to add a playlist and update it by manually adding episodes? OMG spotify, just let me put podcasts in a folder!
I can’t find it,is it only for pc? I’m on ios
What can't you find exactly? I'm also on iOS.
@@nilspaar the music folder
ur twitter links in description don't work btw
And thanks, updated them.
Spofity is just not intuitive
I have about 800 songs in five playlists for listening to in the gym. As I remember old songs from way back, I add them. This is a recent example: ruclips.net/video/LAFCcE0VUUo/видео.html The problem is that I can find nothing on Spotify that will prevent duplicates among the playlists and even in one playlist. Does anyone know of such a setting?
I created a relational database into which I'm entering all songs. This will quickly show up any duplicates, but entering 800 songs is a lot of work.
u use that? believe me, theres a lot u wont find on there. its the thing with art...it usually finds U! hey, i dont judge u...its all Love, Bro. what do Aya n shrooms "tell" u? what do u think is the sound/language of the Youniverse? and wen decentralized audio platform? next level: how do algorithms "know" what feels how? we usually cant even really describe it in our own words, no? (maybe check book 'Sweet Anticipation' - David Huron)
I didn't know that book, just searched for it and it looks very interesting. Added to my list, thanks!
The other points:
Art finding you / not everything being on Spotify:
Fair point, but you can also guide the process a bit imo. Spotify isn't the only source for music I use, but is definitely the place where I discover most new artists and music. I can't even count the amount of amazing artists I found on it. Often I then look them up on other platforms and follow them there in order to be exposed to everything they create. Plus you can also import tracks that are stored on your local device.
Decentralized audio platform:
I fully agree that I would want to see a decentralized form of Spotify (and even RUclips) in the future, this would be very desirable. This is actually also a topic Zowie and I are often syncing on; what is the right course of action here? To not use these platforms? They still are 10x better than the competition in terms of user experience. Not using them doesn't seem feasible, the only real solution I see is to either create a 10x better platform yourself, or to support others that are trying to build it.
Algorithms:
This I find to be one of the biggest challenges in modern life; living in harmony with algorithms. It's obvious that big tech algorithms are designed in order to keep you on their platform. Your attention is the most valuable asset. Working in digital marketing myself, I'm aware of this and it's an area I struggle with at times. However, I don't see these new algorithms necessarily as bad, or evil. I see them as a new phenomenon we have to learn to live with, and if we can master them, they have the potential to be an extremely powerful tool. Basically, I think one of the core tasks in the Information Age is to train your algorithms in order to let them work for you, in stead of the other way around.
@@nilspaar he who seeks shall find. i think being aware is key here, once again hehe. and everything has its Rhythm in the Universe: i still use Bandcamp a lot. maybe im too lazy to do a sub on Spotify or dont want to pay for "mainstream". and i see no vinyl i could order there as well as the artist cant really decide much about the price structure. 'Catalog.Works' looks kinda promising to me ('Audius' i dont resonate with tbh), and i started using 'Odysee/LBRY' more. oh, i dont see algorithms as "good" or "bad" either (being "non-dual"); we kinda are ones ourselves, no? have u checked out 'OpenAI' already? greetings, hiveMind
@@bazmalaza85 Haha true! I like the non-dual perspective on algorithms. I have checked out OpenAI but not too thoroughly, I am pretty optimistic about SingularityNET (and DAO) though.
Thanks again for the recommendations by the way, I wasn't aware of Catalog Works. Audius I have heard of but haven't used it yet, why are you not a fan? Looks pretty slick imo.
@@nilspaar from Goertzel the transhumanist? nah Bro. Audius is too mainstreamy n EDM heavy for my taste...plus i have the feeling 3LAU is in the "Country Club" (maybe check Lana Del Reys song/lyrics n music video if u dont understand what i mean n maybe dont believe in that "symbolism stuff"...). i trust my judge of character here, brought me a long way already...
@@bazmalaza85 Transhumanism is an interesting point, in a sense the entire Second Brain concept is quite a transhumanist concept, don't you agree? Are you against using a Second Brain? We're actually planning to do a video / talk on this as it's something I'm sparring with Zowie about often. What's you take on that?
And yup, no idea what you mean with 3LAU and Lana Del Reys lyrics, I have some homework again :D
where do you find these genres? also I realize you have psychadelic trance there... that's pretty cool.. never even realized there was a psychadelic trance category, that's awesome! one of my favourite categories is actually Drum and Bass, but its a sub-genre within genre.. called 'Intelligent Drum and Bass', there is literally sounds of the future right there.. reminds me of a old school game I played back in the day 'Super Monkey Ball', which had a hugee gathering.. for the time.. it does sound very atmospheric if you listen out.. you can hear those fragrant tunes in the background.. I just love it.. also podcast is cool idea.. might have to try that out.. might learn things didn't/wouldn't have known otherwise.. I think it is worth connecting to spotify to facebook because then people can listen to what your listening to, and you can see what they listen to.. although I also get might want to keep it confidential so that's fine.. I also have category with 'ALL-ARTIST' or 'ALL-MUSIC', but interesting to see you just use the title of the genre instead.. that's a good idea...
I mainy gather new music on Spotify through playlists, and full sets on RUclips, Soundcloud, and Mixcloud. If you're into psychedelic trance, I recommend the RUclips channel "Electric Samurai", this guy is putting out high-quality mixes every week.
I also dig Drum and Bass, especially crossbreed (crossover between dnb and hardcore), but are not that familiar with, going to check out Intelligent Drum and Bass right now! :)
@@nilspaar yeah it's great bro!!! Yeah same love those crossbreed ones as you say.. like advanced-genre type thing..
@@nilspaar beats port is also great place to find music.. I saw it on Spotify as well.. like artist links and stuff.. used it before already.. but just reinforces fact it's good.. they have search engine where you can find the SPECIFIC GENRE of any track within a Suppos-edd genre.. usually artists fall Into multiple genres.. but with that tool rather than dropping them all into house, all into trance, all into drum and bass say.. you can split the Specific genre tracks within the 'suppose-edd-' genre and specific each track to its genre belonging to the artist.. I believe that's why they have multiple genres for artist. Though could be wrong and tracks happen to fall into multiple genres..
@@tommychappell6359 Ok nice, will check it our, in my experience the genres on those platforms often are way too generic, but haven't checked it for a while.
@@nilspaar which platforms?
RUclips 'errored' my comment thank you much, comment go delete (spent so long thinking about). go kaput (how rude, what a bastard xd). just going to say spotify isn't best in terms of music, tidal and other music softwares similar are king (come with Hifi), howeverrr spotify does have one thing going and thats its user experience (king of experience). This is 1 thing that is currently weighing down spotify imo, also like where feature where could sort like 3 different 'sorts' for a list and name each. ( I like have them together by artist but then having best artists at top, to worst at lowest of list ). If they implement Hifi it will be number 1 for me. currently place at number 2. after Tidal. It will be number 1 by far (if implemented), also if they make sort-feature suggested (multi-sort), think would be cool (just me probably). like to keep super organized or try to. Also I haven't seen any updates in years. I know taking down lot of tracks for content in them deemed outside of policy. but apart from that same layout for ages, Im not complaining they don't need to change much. but just yeah haven't changed all that much (from what I have seen over years). I think they should have multi-feature thing where can drag and drop and decide on features (would be really nice edition). to customize experience more. cause like say haven't changed layout/much years. apart from odd things like maybe few extra recommendations stuff. terms of overall experience its definitely in number 1 I just wish update soon, cause havent seen new features for ages. I think good criticism. would make user experience better/comfortable/with more customizability/control, and fun. also well done on playlist (holy crap), god tierrr. maybe not opening statement lol, but everything apart from top tier.
also what was thing, like sort by genre/sort by mood, sort by theme? how many main ways do people look for music. I remember saying ages ago but not shown here.
