I’ve maintained a playlist for years of my favorite sad songs. Mostly acoustic and piano based, lesser-known songs. Please add it to your index. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhMrEC5L8T4FmbQP78B5gzEJh...

#83I once built a site that used Spotify playlist data directly. The intention was that you could take one of your own playlist and find playlists that have the greatest overlaps. The intention was to find people with a similiar musical taste to yourself. Interestingly I found a lot of new music that way and also found other music directions that suddenly interested me. Thinking this a little further, it provides the pe…
> Thinking this a little further, it provides the perfekt basis for a dating application. Music is a very personally representation of oneself and if you find someone who has the same muscial taste, you already have a common basis for communication. I don't think a shared taste in music is that important, or at all, in a relationship but this is the premise of aptly named Tastebuds[1], a dating app based around favor…
Spotify doesn't have its claws in real-life gatherings yet, but they might have something with their music (personality) and podcasts (interests, affiliations) data.

#85Love this concept, way quicker than using the “found on” in the Spotify app - which doesn’t even always work that well.

#87Nice start - I think there is ultimately some value in this approach, but currently seems quite limited in its functionality, for example I can only choose one song? This results in a very large set of results to wade through, many of which will not be helpful or relevant. Personally I'd get far more value if I could chuck in 3-4 favourite songs and see which playlists contains all of them (or order by greatest numbe…
I really want to see if anyone else has Left Hand Free and Pop Muzik on a playlist together, and if they've found any _other_ songs that contain eeny-meeny-miney-moe in the lyrics and made a playlist of them like I have...
(Here's another oddball one, if you're a puzzle type. Bring The Magic - Steve Wynn. So It Goes - Nick Lowe. Roadrunner Once - Jonathan Richman. Heavy Metal - Sammy Hagar.)

#88This kind of thing has always seemed quite interesting (and worrying!) to me from an OSINT perspective. It seems like if you just know a couple of some anonymous person's favourite songs from various genres, you could identify possible Spotify accounts they may also own. As far as I can tell, it's basically impossible to discuss anything remotely personal online without jeopardizing pseudonymity.
What data would be useful from finding someone's Spotify? I dont use it so I'm not sure what details can be compromised.

#89It's kind of mind boggling to me that Spotify doesn't offer this themselves. Seems like use case 101
