after talking a bit about some 2019 albums, I use a series of charts to show how I think using the "recently played" tab impacted my music listening and is leading me to have a shallower experience with music than I had in the previous years. personally I'd recommend not using that feature, though I guess people can still use it responsibly. But I guess what I'm wondering is, is it better for Spotify to do what they did and remove it from mobile for the people like me who abused it, or should they only be concerned with delivering features people want for those who use it responsibly?
i'm pretty bummed about them removing it, though it was always a bit eratic for me in the first place. i frequently queue an album rather than playing it directly, and the queued albums never showed up for me in the recently played section. my work-around has been to screen shot everything i'm listening to and delete the screenshots after i've properly sorted out what was what. not ideal but manageable.
they got rid of the "songs" filter on mobile as well, which messes with me. i might remember a song title and forget the artist/album, and it was nice being able to search for that quickly....as someone who generally doesn't use playlists and almost never listens to podcasts, i can't say i love the new design. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
