Stuff like this makes me laugh. This is poorly band-aiding a problem that was well and fully solved 40 fucking years ago and worked great since then.
When inept devs reinvent something incompetently and needlessly, they really do it right wrong.
But we will keep going down this dead end, I guess, because some folks just adore complexity for its own sake.
Probably nearly no one is going to go listen to and evaluate music at the absurd and nearly-obsessive1 pace that I do.
But check it: Even if you only find one new enjoyable song a day on average, at the end of that year you’ll have (obviously) 365 new songs you like. Worth it, I think, if you’re into music at all.
Over the past year I’ve discovered 4,236 new-to-me songs I like. That’s 11.6 a day. Pretty good pace2. There’s nothing stopping you from having music you love other than you. I spend hours a day doing it; you could spend a puny 15 minutes rather than blathering on about “there’s no good music anymore.”
There is. You just have to actually do something to locate it.

The benefits of GLP-1s for women no one is talking about. Whether we like it or not, appearance — and weight — affects women’s job and relationship prospects. True for men too, and one of the primary benefits of GLP-1s IMO.
