#MusicalNewYear Hands down one of my favorite apps!!! I have playlists for EVERYTHING including #MusicOfTheNight 😴
Yes, I like listening to Lil Wayne 😂😂😂

Cathythoughts 👍🏻♥️♥️ we were listening to records , vinyl records ! At a friends house recently.. I was amazed at the sound , really good! And the ritual of it However I‘m like you , I go for the YouTube/ Spotify listening 👍🏻 5y
Cinfhen Nothing beats vinyl but storing them is so overwhelming 🥺 @Cathythoughts (edited) 5y
TrishB @Cathythoughts and Cindy - between books and vinyl in our house.... 5y

Cinfhen You NEED a second house @TrishB 😂😂💕🙌🏻 5y
TrishB Yes please 😁❤️ 5y
AmyG I love my Spotify playlists! 5y
Tera66 Spotify, I have so many playlists! 5y
Cinfhen I know!!!!! @Tera66 @AmyG Spotify rules 🙌🏻what‘s your most obscure playlist??? 5y
AmyG @cinfhen I do favorite songs of each year, then just favorite songs, a punk and a heavy metal playlist. 5y
Tera66 @Cinfhen I have one called, Songs That Break Me, its songs that literally make me cry when I hear them. So naturally I rarely listen to that one.😭 5y
vivastory 😂😂😂 5y
Purrfectpages We just joined in December and I love it! I‘m making a ton of playlists and I really love the weekly recommendations! 5y
Cinfhen That‘s brilliant @Tera66 I‘d LOVE to see what‘s on that playlist although music is so subjective and it‘s more of a personal connection to a song that can #BringOnTheTears 😜 5y
Cinfhen I just discovered that Spotify created a playlist called Home mix which is basically a playlist that combines top played songs from our family account!! @AmyG @Tera66 @Purrfectpages It‘s hilarious because it‘s a mix of my 17 yr old who loves Migos to my 25 yr old who seems to be obsessed with acoustic alternative music. Than my hubby who likes 70 rock, my 23 yr old who likes club music and than my 80s music. Talk about eclectic 😂😂 5y
Purrfectpages @Cinfhen I‘m sure that‘s quite a mix! I‘ll have to look for ours! 5y
AmyG @cinfhen....HA! I need to check that out. I can only imagine. 😳 And how do I find the Home mix? (edited) 5y
Cinfhen If you go to playlists on the menu it appears as Home mix @AmyG 5y
AmyG Thank you! 5y
Tera66 @Cinfhen @AmyG I'm so excited to try Home mix, my playlists are so different, it would be fun to hear Celine Dion go to Motley Crue to Emmylou Harris to Cardi B.😂 5y
Cinfhen Yes!!! It‘s almost exactly like that and I added about a dozen songs to my library @Tera66 😁🎉🎵 5y
Suet624 I‘ve been able to find some really obscure artists from the 60‘s that I never thought I‘d hear again on Spotify. It always makes my day. 5y
Cinfhen Yay @Suet624 I know what you mean about finding a “lost” song 😊pure heaven 5y
CrowCAH What‘s next month‘s music challenge?! 5y
Cinfhen Hi @CrowCAH I‘m cohosting with @TheKidUpstairs #TimbitTunes xx hope you‘ll join us 5y
CrowCAH @Cinfhen yup, got the list! 5y

#LitsyClassics MayLovesClassics #day24 #Soundtrack I couldn‘t choose just one book(should I go for a novel about music like High Fidelity or a music biography?) so I‘m going with the app I use to soundtrack the book I‘m reading. For books set in the 80s there‘s Power Ballads, for books set in Scotland its bagpipes, Ireland its fiddle & Celtic folk songs for both. I made a special Aussie pub rock playlist recently for my first photo challenge too🎵

Cinfhen Love Spotify!!! It‘s a life changer!!!! Israel free radio sucks!!!!!!! Thank God I can just blue tooth my Spotify wherever I am 💚 6y

I was Googling to find out whether or not I could gift Spotify when I noticed the predictions and laughed!! Thought I‘d post them here so you all could laugh too! Frozen cheese, anyone? 🧀

laurieluna Who eats cheese so slow they have freeze it anyway? Doesn't last long enough in this house 😂 6y
tournevis @miralunasbooknook I swear! I've asked him not to, but after 27 years, he buys cheese in large quantities and freezes it. *sighs* 6y

OrangeMooseReads @tournevis that made me laugh lol 6y
laurieluna @tournevis that is so unusual! I've never heard of anyone freezing cheese. I buy ready meals with cheese in sometimes that are frozen. But I've never frozen a block of it. 6y
tournevis @miralunasbooknook It's something his parents did. They had been quite poor and could only afford cheese if it was dirt cheap. There is no reason for us to do this, but evidently 27 years of marital life has not been enl 6y
Rachellynnwright I must admit to have frozen my cheese before! I had gotten a big pack from Costco or something, then my fiancé decided to go on a diet, so I had to freeze the cheese!!!!!! 6y
jbhops Feel the love tonight!! Also, yes, yes you can freeze cheese. 😂 6y
MatchlessMarie The other day I was googling how to smoke veggies in a grill and the suggestion was “how to snort veggies” 😝 👃 🌽 6y
julesG @MatchlessMarie 😂😂😂😂 6y
AceOnRoam I freeze cheese! I live on a boat, you can't always find good cheese in the next country along!! Or Red wine. I stock up on that too, it weighs the boat down quite bit lol 🍷🧀🍪 6y
Eggs 😂😂 6y
KVanRead 😂😂👏 6y
KVanRead @AceOnRoam Good to know! 6y

It‘s official...my kid has taken over my Spotify account. 🎶 Fortunately my husband and I have managed to fold many of our favorites into the mix. None of which are reflected here (except for Feist).

So I posted before that I had discovered that TuneIn Radio had audiobooks and it got me thinking of other music apps that might.. Well I checked my Spotify and whadya know!

Cinfhen Cool, thanks for sharing!!! 7y
Spiderfelt Can you imagine the head-scratching if you accidentally hit shuffle? And how would the "radio" feature work? Have you listened to any of these tracks? I wonder whether they are complete books, or just a few chapters? 7y
ReadingEnvy If you subscribe to Audible it has channels with audiobooks too. I think they are Prime related but I'm unlikely to listen to them as they have to stream and when I listen I'm moving between networks, etc. 7y

Nicohlay @Spiderfelt nope haven't tried it yet, just thought it was a neat feature that I didn't know about before. 7y
Nicohlay @ReadingEnvy Audible is too expensive for my taste, especially since you only get 1 book a month lol I like looking for cheaper (meaning free lol) alternatives. 7y
Spiderfelt Clicking on a couple tracks led me to further exploration. It was quite a deep rabbit hole. I found SLATE hosts a 'bookclub' with book reviews, and there are lots additional audiobooks if you know how to find them. Searching 'audiobook' doesn't always bring it up, but now I have something else to explore. Thanks for the heads up. 7y

What would a true bibliophile's Top Songs Playlist be if Weird Al's "Word Crimes" isn't on it ???? Thank you, #Spotify, for pointing that out. Do you like that song? The YouTube video is great ???.

I've been playing classical music off of my Spotify playlists while at my staff desk in the library. Luckily, no one seems to mind. When I opened up my Spotify today, I saw a "Your Top Songs 2016" playlist. Here's my top 7. I'm surprised only 2 of my book-reading songs made the list. Yes, I don't listen to many contemporary mainstream songs ?. If you give any of these tracks a listen, let me know what you think! ??? #LitsyMusic
