Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding

Every single time I use Spotify, after the first advert it says to enjoy the next 30 minutes ad free. Then after a 2 minute long song, I get 5 minutes of adverts 😑. Every single time

Edit: using mutify now, thank you everyone!

  • Laughs in Navidrome

    • I can't get good automatic playlists on navidrome. Nor any good way to automatically mix my collection satisfactory....

      • Not entirely automatic, but I found that Navidrome (at least when you use a third party client like Feishen or Symfonium) has smart playlists. I use that to write some simple queries like:

        By genre:

        • Ambient
        • Downtempo

        By listening habits:

        • All Favorites
        • Rediscover Old Favorites
        • Last 100 Songs Played
        • Never Listened To
        • Top 100 Songs

        and so on.

        Obviously, the genre smart playlists assume your music has Genres tags. I use Picard (with the Last.fm genre plugin) for that.

        • tell me about Picard? I heard of that... Bit never tried it. My collection come from lidarr

          • MusicBrainz Picard

            It's a GUI tool that gives you the ability to tag songs in bulk. It uses the MusicBrainz database to provide relevant metadata, and also provides user plugins (like the Last.fm plugin I mentioned)

            I get my songs in batches (through Bandcamp and youtube-dlp) every couple of months, so GUI is fine for me.

            However, I'm seeing a CLI alternative called https://beets.io/ ? Apparently it is a CLI tool that also queries the MusicBrainz database (or Beatport, or Discogs), and apparently integrates well with Lidarr. I never tried it, however.
