This is huge when I'm trying to stay in the flow while programming. Spotify is like a personal DJ that really groks how I work, especially now that it silently continues playing matching tracks when a playlist ends.
With Apple Music, I ended up switching back to iTunes at least once an hour. I really hope they won't be able to crush Spotify.
- jeffhuys 9y agoThey (Spotify) also have some kind of awesome new playlist feature that mixes the songs together automatically. The "Trap Vibes" (don't judge) playlist uses that feature, I'd say try it! Play at least 2-3 songs and notice how gapless they transition into eachother. It really works great. I hope it's automated and not based on cuepoints (it probably is, though).
- noxToken 9y agoLiterally just found this feature this morning. It was awesome that it also adds the fade effect even if you skip a song. Gapless playback used to be a feature that was only active when the track came its end naturally.
- always_good 9y agoThat sounds good because the Spotify playlists I listen to have a surprisingly small pool of songs. For example, I've heard almost all the tracks of the Mexico -> "La + Chingona" playlist on the first sitting. It says they are regenerated each week yet it's the same songs reshuffled. All of the Mexican playlists are like this, but I've never tried other playlists so I don't know if it's Spotify-wide. Maybe they just have a bad Mexican music team.
