    Is this why my wife is constantly complaining that her playlists constantly keep playing the same songs over and over?

      My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

      I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

      That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

      Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

        Have you fixed anything when it’s done something you’ve hated? I sometimes think, “I can fix this” and the I let my workarounds last for years. Like a leaky faucet where I fix it by rotating the handle not to 180° but to like 185.

          Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.
