most of the reason I'm cancelling .. beyond sick of hearing some random bullshit I didn't ask for, nor want to hear. Everytime some trash pops on, I close the app before it's even close to done playing the song... I boot up vlc player on my phone and load my mp3s like it's the 2000s...

just reconfigured my audio on Linux, and have been essentially ripping songs from Spotify nonstop. once I'm done with the obscure music I can't find elsewhere, Spotify will be officially dead to me.

I've been looking to disenshittify my life. This, Google, MS, and all the other streaming services are on the list. Slowly but surely.

I am only keeping Google email to give back to the enshittificTion by only using it for trash companies that can't be trusted when I have too. otherwise I have other email services they will never know exists.

I hope this "AI" knows what language is used in songs. Sometimes I like to listen to songs in certain language (usually the one I'm actually learning). The potential use case would be to create a playlist with songs of certain language and genre I like.

As for now, it turns out it's incredibly hard to do. For example even if you find, say, popular French song and use option to "find similar" then algorithm usually finds either songs with similar genre or even french songs but sang in English.

No thanks, I prefer human DJs and you should too, they are better.

Is this the thing where if you search for any style or genre of music in playlists, you have to first scroll through the fake generated by Spotify playlists before you can find one that a human made?

Part of (but not all) of the reasons why I've moved back to Vinyl.

Long may it continue, I'm finding far more music now than I ever did on the Spotify platform.
