Zigmidge posted:Spotify does this dumb bullshit where your listens in the weekly discovery playlists have an effect on the songs that show up in your discovery playlists and doesn't offer any thumbs up/down control for them so it deviates further and further from what you like the more you use it. Same.

Is there any way you can use some portable storage to physically connect to the tablet? Quantum of Phallus posted:Nope, I've looked before. Cheers, for the replies. So it can be done over WiFi, so connecting to the airport/hotel network or something? That’s not too bad. There’s a few apps appearing to do that on ios and android Thanks

nervana posted:Trying spotify for a week, and I am still obviously at the period where I miss Apple Music because I am new to the app, but those who prefer spotify, what are your reasons? I tried Apple Music for the trial, but I stuck with Spotify, it has a web player that works at work, ‘discover weekly’ suggests great tracks that suit me, has great playlists/genre stations, plus it’s on PS4 and stuff. Maybe Apple Music has come along a bit since I used it, but it’s very limited to the ecosystem and seemed to exclusively suggest recommended tracks that were nothing like what I listen to.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Oh yeah this is actually so annoying. I turn it on to listen to new hip-hop and it's like "rap caviar"??? Yeah, they're really all about naming playlists inspired by moods, vibes and whatever your tea leaves told you that day. Must be really confident about their music recommendation features. It also allows them to have multiple playlists with the same kind of tunes. There's like half a dozen playlists for when you're happy, I imagine they're all filled to the brim with pop music.

After trying both I'm sticking with Apple Music. Although the playlists are much better on Spotify the integration with Apple is much better. I also only ever use my iPhone or iPad to listen. Never my PC. The biggest issue I have beyond playlists is that CarPlay prefers to start whatever I was last listening to in my library. Even if I've been playing radio all day and my last library play was from the night before.

How does Apple Music even work? When I transferred over from Google Play Music, I imported my library but it seems like my “weekly playlist for you” or whatever doesn’t pull songs from my library. What does liking/not liking a song do? I’ve been hearting songs, and also adding them to a “favorites” playlist but I don’t know if I’m even doing this right.

The weekly playlists are assembled from songs similar to the music you have in your library, giving more weight to those you heart or listen to a lot. For example, the "Favorites Mix" tends to use music you've already heard, while the "New Music Mix" is usually new stuff or related artists. Loving or hating a song will adjust how often things like that show up in the recommendations, radio, etc. You can also create a Smart Playlist that only shows Loved songs for an easy "Favorites" playlist.

For example, the "Favorites Mix" tends to use music you've already heard, while the "New Music Mix" is usually new stuff or related artists. Yeah, I get three playlists every week (refreshed on different days). One is "Chill Playlist"(new every Sun) because that's the usual channel I play on the Radio tab during work, a "New Music Playlist"(new every Tue) and a "Favorites Playlist" (New every Friday). I think the Chill list started showing up, because that's the kind of music I've been throwing up while work (usually the Chill Music station). Before that it was Rock, and prior it was Punk. It seem like the algorithmic genre based playlist changes based on my listening and "Hearting" of music. Speaking of, I'm pretty aggressive at rating the music. The refinement to the playlists and recommendations are not just on what I flag with a heart and but also what I flag as not liking. I also have a smart playlist called "Hearts" with about 1200 songs so far, so I've been doing it for a while. It's really having an impact on "New Music" playlist. The thing I like about the Apple recommendations is not just how well it matches my taste, but it also colors outside the lines and occasionally surprises me with songs I normally wouldn't consider genre-wise, but that I end up really liking. I'm a huge fan of Apple Music generated playlists (not so much the curated ones), but I think they were fairly bland recommendation wise until I hit some critical mass of about 500-600 songs marked with hearts.

It's music that it's determined you personally "chill" to. In my case it's just a weird coincidence I've had the Chill radio channel on heavy rotation when they rolled it out. Now that I scroll down, they really changed the layout of what I remember. It used to be "list of full albums" then a row of playlists alternating for a while. Now it's a small slice of each. Huh.

bobfather posted:App shopper and never look back. I guess that works going forward, but I'm mostly upset at having to redo some of the research that went into building the list. I suppose I should've done some research before updating. Looks like I could restore a backup that was still on iOS 10, write down the list, then re-update to 11...yikes. I'm baffled by the decision to trash the wish list.

Just started playing with Workflow for the first time -- it's neat! I'm using it via a widget to log my weight into Health.app, which also pushes it to MyFitnessPal. Does anyone know if there's any SiriKit integration, so I can just say "I weigh X pounds"? Couldn't find anything that in-depth. I mean, using the widget is easy enough, but telling Siri would be so much quicker and cooler. Also, can HealthKit track my post count?

Guild of Dungeoneering is fun The Sorcery series is good if you like the old Steve Jackson book adventures. I think there's LP for it here, so you can look at it and see if it's your cup of tea. The Room, Room2 and Room3 is a fantastic MYST like with a Lovecraftian vibe to it.

Their app is real good but it’s more of a budget / big picture management over daily spending / tracking so it depends on what you’re specifically after.
