So I attempted to make a reference playlist on Spotify because I was worried about reposting.
I apologize if I missed a song. If it’s on Spotify, put the link in a comment and I’ll update it. I’ll be updating it on a regular basis.
This list does not include the posts of whole albums. It’s only posts of individual songs. I’m tempted to make the albums a separate playlist.
Cheers!
This looks like a lot of work - but I love the idea of this.
Seems a great way to explore music I’ve never heard before - and revisit some classics.
Thank you.
I didn’t fully appreciate the amount of work it would take until about 150 songs in, sometime after I realized Jerboa wasn’t showing much beyond 6 months ago. Lots of flipping between Firefox and Spotify.
I’m glad you like it! It’s a trip to listen to. In making it, I found a few tracks I had planned to post and only a handful of reposts.
What saddens me is all the tracks that aren’t on Spotify. Lots of live covers didn’t make it. So it goes, I suppose.
Did you do this by hand ??? My dude.
I knew inevitably a coder was gonna come along and tell me how to do this like a sane person. Hahaha, yes by hand. I don’t know how else to do it. Please, for the love of all things, lay it out for me plainly, cause it did occur to me, but I had no idea where to even begin.
Happy to help out :) Web scraping is hard, good thing Lemmy gives an API. Hit me up on matrix if you’re there @penguincoder:hive.beehaw.org or just PM.
Your work and effort is very much appreciated. I had noticed the live version thing (I’d posted Burn by The Cure as a rare live performance) but having the studio recording is enough - those who want to see how a track might have sounded live will be able to find it (e.g. for some of the Alestorm tracks that have been shared recently, there is a very good live mix available under their label on YouTube).
Not being able to access all music via just one streaming provider seems to be a feature of the services these days. Sad and frustrating, but it doesn’t detract from the value and quality of this playlist.
Thanks again.
