An Xmas Mixtape for the AS readers / members chez Qobuz
DuckToller posted a blog entry in DuckToller's Sonic Encounters
How boring ;-) Stop right there! The tapes are coming back …. Just click here … https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep365-the-return-of-the-cassette-tape/id1048766030?i=1000586927145 https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/zdovki/the_return_of_the_cassette_tape/ https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-start-cassette-collection/ It’s a thing. And it brings up memories. I had roughly 2 decades in my life in which I was working with tapes. From cutting music from the radio to the annual distribution of year’s end mix tapes to my friends. My oldest friend Peter may have received some 5 dozen tapes over that period and some other – more distanced - friends were starting calling me when I stopped that habit after I retired the tape deck. Some others were wearing their tapes as a badge of honor. I had only one girlfriend ever that returned that favor to me, Molly, my love … Just enjoying assembling playlists for my friends and lovers, sometime with a twitch, sometimes with a message, sometimes even without a theme. As I was contemplating this blog entry I was as well participating in Best Cover Records thread which covers for me a one of my audio habits: finding excellent cover recordings of songs I like. Accidently, the thread has had its tenth birthday on December, 1st. This year, I did a service for Peter, delivering him the music of our youth in a couple (or more) of cover songs. However, in modern times the urge to put them into an order to consume is much lighter as it was 30 years ago. And even then I tried to guide him with defined playlists - but the results he got on Volumio just didn’t work for him, he was stressed and not in the mood to get the things that he was looking for from my gift. I felt, I’ve somehow failed, consequently for this xmas tape collection, which is entirely made of cover versions, I just clicked on order by Label, to get the content presented in some specific unspecific order. This xmas tape for anyone who like to listen to a predominantly rock oriented mix with some jazzy and some classic notes to it, can be found exclusively at Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/12542604 Because I really like this idea – I’d be happy to receive feedback from the readers, perhaps with “tape”-playlists with a different focus, perhaps Jazz, Fado, Blues or classical tunes ? Year-end list are welcome as well … don’t be shy ;-) Already in a festive mood, Tom PS: My avatar arrived at 12 years yesterday, thus here are some pics from a (proud dog dad) sweet dog's life -
Hi all, I haven't posted since this forum moved so hello again! I'm hosting a barbecue on Saturday that is likely to go on well into the night, so I have compiled a playlist of approximately 10 hours of music. I want to make sure that if I need to stop the playback and start it again, I don't want to hear the same tracks already played recently. In conclusion, I'd like to create a Smart Playlist that will only show songs that haven't been played in the last 6 hours. Unfortunately, the "Last Played not in the last" shortest option is 1 day. I considered the "Limit to XX items selected by least recently played" option, however that will mean the music will be skewed towards music I haven't listened to for the longest, which is not what I want, because that ends up grouping lots of a similar artist together and it won't feel very random. I tried entering a fraction for number of days, but it doesn't allow that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this to work? Thanks!

I used Spotify as my example in the question, but I'd also be interested in taking .mp3 or .wav to an iTunes playlist or a Windows Media Playlist, etc. Is there a program that allows for this? The point would be, once I have the playlist file or link, I can send it to a friend or acquaintance, and it'd simply be added to their playlist in whichever program they're using. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Does anybody know how songs in playlists within iOS Music App are sorted? It seems to be "date added" with the newest on top... Is there a way to change or have impact on this? Regards
