Punting spotify into the stratosphere
8/26/2025
I'm finally done going through all the music on my spotify. There was a sizable chunk of music I had saved that I didn't fully like for various reasons. whether to fill out a playlist, as forgettable background music, or it just seemed cool at the time and I'm trying to hold on to that. I understand at least how some of that happened, for one thing its going on over ten years now that I have had that account. That's such a long time! Ten years of music. Think of all the actually useful stuff I could have bought instead of paying some stupid streaming service. Ugh. Better late than never.
Also, I challenged myself to deep-dive in some genres that I thought I didn't like to find some gems. It did work, which was fun, but I never got around to clearing out the leftover bloat. But I am now! Not deleting my account, and I am leaving some of my favorite playlists up for whoever liked them though. But not going to use it anymore.
The music section I have on here is already kind of long, but I plan to toss the more interesting songs on there, and refine it afterwards. That way it's all just in one place and I don't have to look at multiple sources anymore.
After that, If it still a lot, I might have to reconfigure how its displayed so it isn't a giant wall of text. I also plan on delving into the artists of the songs to see if I like them and switching them to either albums or in the favorite artists category. Plus I now need to switch the links to any applicable other sites besides yt.
Now I have to also look into downloading music instead of relying on the fickle whims of website links
Goodbye spotify wrapped! You were mildly interesting but unnecessary and not really all that surprising. Yes, I know I listened to Silverio on repeat, I was there. I'm listening to him right now.
