  • I think the miscommunication here is in the function. I agree with you, that you can use Spotify to find all kinds of music, and even incredibly niche music if you dig around. What the user you replied to wants is to be able to find that incredibly niche/hyper-specific music with a single search query.

    If that user wants to discover music like the band Tool, but has never heard of the band Tool, they want to be able to type “complex polyrhythmic prog metal with tribal trance undertones” and have it spit out Tool, Lucid Planet, etc. Spotify can’t do that. Tool is popular enough where it isn’t a great example. But even still the best you could do is look at their curated lists for prog metal and polyrhythm and come up with what you want after skipping through some bands. And you would find things like Dream Theater and Periphery on those playlists which couldn’t be further apart from Tool and each other, despite sharing a general genre.


  • Also, for those leaking info, please do better than the OOP of the screen shot contained in this post. Not saying this is particularly sensitive and I don’t even know if their intent was to remain anonymous. But just a reminder to think about the little things like the “You forwarded this message at 11:17” because if anyone cares, they could easily find out who forwarded that email at that time. I would guess that most government entities could pretty easily come up with justification to fire anyone based on the public dissemination of intergovernmental emails, regardless of whether the contents were specifically noted as sensitive.

    I only felt compelled to comment this because this is the second post I have seen in the last day or so with an identifying feature like that. There are a lot of government employees who probably can’t stomach working under this administration, and I get it. But there is an argument to make that those of you who oppose the administrations stances can do more good from within, or at least do your best to minimize the harm that would be caused by the bootlicking henchmen you will be replaced with.
