Next up an infinite infinite record playlist of out-of-copyright works that dynamically remixes mashups of said works in the catalog with an auto populating infinite scroll page of song titles…

They just have to keep adding new items faster than you can listen to them!
Hmm...though I'm wondering were there always greater than 365 full days of audio recorded every year? I'm not sure that is true for the late 1920's-1930's, though by today (and maybe by the 1960's or so) that has become true. So I guess it will eventually become infinite with the metric of being able to listen to them all, though at the moment I'm not sure it is quite infinite yet.

#43Now add a "like" button and make an additional list of "most liked" pieces, and beat streaming services at their own game :)

Not necessarily. Some people actively abhor such dopamine dispensers.
People hate listening to music they like?

There must have been a moment when the total recorded output of the world surpassed the total time a person, a city, a country (have we reached that point yet?) could listen or consume all of them. I suspect we will reach a point where songs are played once only, never to be heard again.
Working against this is the “sliding window” effect of older materials becoming less relevant to modern audiences, and hence “less good”.
Counter this with longer cultural continuity that turns the sliding window into a stretching window.

Not getting https://www.locserendipity.com/Listen.html (with the low pass filter) to play. Is that supposed to play like https://www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html ?
It works a bit differently. You press "Random" or do a search, then click the songs that appeal to you. They are added to the (text) playlist. The idea is that you can change and save the playlist--no login required. You can even download the whole thing and use it offline, completely privately. It still works. The only bug is that you cannot skip.
