better living with spotify
i’m going to collect some of my favorite tools, websites and tips&tricks round about spotify here. drop me a line if you have an addition.
Genre Playlists
Type the following into spotify search, followed by the genre, to find spotifys’ auto-generated playlists. Eg. “The sound of indie rock”.
the sound of | hundreds of classic genre songs |
intro to | 50 top genre songs |
the edge of | about 200 recent less-known genre songs |
the pulse of | about 200 current popular genre songs |
the needle | can be combined with - current - emerging - underground and countries. 100+ trendsetter songs. |
Also available as a google spreadsheet or excel (created by reddit user atomic_eternity; original thread here).
Same lists, but cooler: every noice at once – pick genre, find lists at top.
