i have one i creatively named "masterlist". i put almost everything i listen to in it, if i remember to. at the moment it has 3,756 songs. compared to some, im not sure it's a whole lot, but it certainly feels like it when it takes so long to scroll to the bottom. i like smaller, more-curated playlists too, but if i just listened to those i wouldn't get to experience the feeling of pressing shuffle and hearing a song i haven't listened to in months/years -or to start feeling low when an alice in chains song comes on, and then get picked back up by kevin gates singing something about freakin and booty holes...Β she don't wanna - kevin gatesΒ .


do you like long playlists that you add on to for years? do you like daily/monthly playlists?


-i like the idea of the monthly playlists. i see a lot of girls my age do that. i wouldn't see myself starting a new playlist each month and trying to create a "vibe" for the next thirty days, but i could go along with adding what i liked listening to each day, and keeping it as sort of a way to reminisce. sites like last.fm have kind of taken my attention when it comes to that idea though. i could see any song i listened to (on spotify or last.fm's player) from now all the way back to 2020. on stats.fm i can see what i was listening to on a certain account back to 2017 -which is fascinating. all that data being saved until i decided 5 years later to actually want to record it all... though back to the reminiscing thing, i still think that's a good idea: to be able to search for a month or specific time period and then immediately being able to immerse myself in it again.


as for those playlists created by spotify, i'm not so into them. the ones that only take songs i've already listened to are alright, but i dislike being pushed the most popular songs in a genre -or those created by imaginary bands that just help spotify take back a percentage of streams to keep its pockets filled... i'm not so into that. i've discovered some amazing small bands through spotify, but i'm not sure spotify itself led them into my sight.


how do you listen to music? are playlists unimportant? do you throw every song into one and click shuffle? do you enjoy taking the time to curate playlists for specific moods and float between those? or do you listen more casually -whatever's on or easy?

My liked songs playlist has 5,122 songs. My main playlist has 1,045 songs. I have tons of playlists I make, one of my favorites is my afternoon playlist, which is just perfect, my ethereal playlist, and my "songs with my favorite instrumentals" playlist.

My personal MP3 library has 500+ albums and 5,000+ songs.

I totally agree with the mixed quality of Spotify's generated playlist, just too repetitive.

my liked songs on spotify are far fewer than the amount of songs in my main playlist. that's probably due to how much i disliked when they changed how you'd add songs to playlists and the liked songs section -i also normally only add to myΒ liked songsΒ with something i recently discovered and want to be easy to listen to again.


i have a lot of mini playlists that i've created for the purpose of having a band's discography in one place or for specific events likeΒ driving in the middle of the night,Β or just saving 10 or so songs i liked that day, but those playlists often collect dust after the day is over. for me it must just be easier to have a huge playlist since my taste changes so often and i mainly listen to music when i drive. it's easier to just skip through than try to change playlists or albums.Β 


i like that you have mp3's. someday i might go that route, but i also tend to pick 1 or 2 songs on albums that i like and have no interest in the rest. there's few albums i'd listen to fully. if i own music, i think i like it physical, but if i had a dedicated mp3 player that'd be almost as good.Β 


-and yes, spotify playlists are repetitive and don't seem to do a good job of mixing what is well-known with what should be discovered. i get recommended those workout ones often, and nothing in them exactly screams "do a pushup" to me... but maybe they're basing it off of what i already listen to, which isn't veryΒ muscle-manlyΒ i think.


thank you for replying :)

i tend to make very very short playlists that encapsulate my most played songs at particular times (eg. fall 25 semester, summer of 2026, april 2026)!! i mostly listen to albums so playlist listening is for when i'm in a moodΒ or when i have to spend a while driving. my driving playlist is my longest playlist and has ~60 songs.

@levs


that's very different from myself. when i create small playlists it's usually just for something specific and i don't revisit them much afterwards. how often do you return to those playlists?Β 


60 seems so low to me (lol), when i drive i usually put on my masterlist and might skip that many songs until i hear something that peaks my interest. that may not be the most efficient thing to do, but trying to figure out music and switching between stuff while driving isn't very ideal either. i assume you don't skip through much? every playlist i have, no matter the size, i don't believe i could sit through without skipping. it's not that i dislike any of the songs, i just get peculiar about what i want to hear. the only exception might be if i have music playing while i am extremely focused on something like editing my layout -or something computery. i enjoy listening to music and consider that a task of it's own (i mean i like to be very present during it, not just hearing in the background).

@eternalikon how often i revisit my playlists totally depends on the playlist! i'm very interested in archives and archival work so that sort of bleeds into how i approach music. it's almost like a way of archiving parts of my life. i make a lot of small playlists that include what i listened to at the time, which i revisit when i'm nostalgic. but i do also make some super short playlists to try to to capture something very specific. like an event or a feeling. and i'm particular about what songs are applicable!!! i guess i kind of approach playlist making as if each one will end up being a burned cd or a cassette mixtape lol


i do sometimes skip around in my 'big' driving playlist, but that's the only one i really do that with because it's the only one that's long enough to not be very particularly curated lol. my second longest playlist has 25 songs on it and it's what my friends and i listen to when we pregame so it's mostly pop that can go in the background or be sung along to. the rest of my playlists all have like 5-15 songs.


as an example, (i remade these on youtube for the sake of linking them lol) these two playlists both correlate to summer 2025 but one is for encapsulating a particular mood and one is to remember what my top listened to songs were. i wouldn't add more songs to the first because then the mood wouldn't be as accurate, and i wouldn't add more songs to the second because i don't need to remember every song i listened to that summer.

I make themed playlists. Often on some historical genre or context.

I find 200-250 is 'practical' if you're listening for some specific emersion on some specific theme.

All that in mind, my largest is 480 songs.Β

I haveΒ 4,432 songs in my liked songs playlist, but in my biggest purposely curated playlist I have around 400 or so. Making playlists is something I really enjoy doing, I like making playlists for other people & themed ones

My most recent playlist I've been working on is one dedicated to songs I've listened to most this year. I made a playlist in the same fashion last year and it was really nice to look back on

The funny thing is, I go to all this effort to make playlists but when I listen to music lately I generally just think of a song I like and search it up lol

I have about 5-6 playlists. My highest one is called Everyday and it has 54 songs in it. πŸ˜† But I listen to my playlist that is called New every day. It has about 33 songs in it. Every time I hear a new song I like I add it. I did move some songs from it into the Everyday list.
