I love making playlists for all kinda of occasions: date nights, game nights, long drives, studying, parties...
When I first started dating my girlfriend, I would curate a playlist to play in the car (I would choose music I knew she would like, or something that would set the mood for a romantic evening). The result was that we found out we had a similar taste in music. Now our tastes in music is something that we share a bond over.
- ohlookabird 8y agoI used to do the same thing using foobar2000, typically by providing the playlists as CDs, often even with a nice label. At some point people started to have no CD player anymore and just used Bluetooth from their phones. That's certainly a nice thing too, but it made me stop doing CD playlists. Therefore I wonder: what is your typical medium/platform for doing this nowadays? For just bringing a playlist with me, I could use my phone, sure. But how to actually give a playlist to people, especially for some rather rare music or own recordings? A Spotify link doesn't do it all the time.

USB stick and a custom sticker goes a long way to capture the "physical token" aspect that made gifting curated media feel special.
- nikk1 8y agoI use Spotify playlists. I usually think of a thoughtful name for the playlist. Also, using the desktop app, I can upload cover art for the playlist. Another cool thing that I do with my brother is a "shared playlist." We both add songs to the playlist that we want to share with each other. At the beginning of every year we start a new one.
