I guess I'm lucky that this particular problem is not one that bothers me much. My playlists tend to be a) quite short ~30 songs I listen on repeat until the mood changes and / or work requires a different rhythm and b) are not that many. Only around 10 in active use at any time. I tend to delete older lists to not clutter "my library" This leads me to the conclusion that a one time (GDPR) data dump would be sufficient to migrate the data over time. Since Music is quite fungible, the one benefit Spotify offers over other services is their recommendation engine which is arguably better than the competition.

This is actually part of the problem I have. I only really have a few artists I may listen to on a more frequent basis, but other than that I am usually just using random playlists from Spotify that fit my mood rather than spending time making my own. However I have been having a couple issues. Everything was working fine, but then I started using Spotify at the gym almost daily for workout music. The music genres I like to listen to while working out are vastly different from what I listen to at home. To further compound this problem I often listen to podcasts in the car and don't listen to Spotify much at home. So a good chunk of my usage of Spotify is listening to music at the gym. As such my recommendations are complete garbage. I don't care to be suggested music related to gym music as I just pull up random playlists anyway. But what I do want is suggestions for what to listen to when I am at home. Problem is that Spotify has no incognito mode or any way to tell it to "ignore this from recommendations". That was actually one of the biggest draws for me was using stuff like "Discover Weekly" and the "Made for you" stuff. But now it is essentially useless for me. Now I have been trying to transition to Plexamp as I already use Plex. My problem is that now I have zero suggestions of what new songs to acquire and I feel stuck.
