I constructed playlists of my current favorite 45s (scratchy records) in two streaming services, Apple and Spotify. I subscribe to Apple Music and not to Spotify so there were a few hurdles. I had to download a Spotify desktop app in order to rearrange songs but every time I searched for a song Spotify was there to recommend another song based on patterns from other users likes. I didn’t take advantage of that this time, I was on a mission, but I can see how this would be great for constructing sets on the fly. Apple had every one of the songs I was looking for. Spotify could not come up with a copy of Edith Piaf’s “Sudan One Vallée.”
Vs.
I’m surprised Apple Music doesn’t have a “pops” feature. Great list by the way. Will have it on shuffle at work tomorrow.
Yeah Jason, that pops category. Not just Apple. It is heard to find where Peggy Lee 45s are filed in the Bop Shop. Pops songs live forever.
It’s been a few months since I last looked through the 45s at the Bop Shop. Last time I was there for four hours during a snow storm. They are the best shop locally for 45s. The others sadly do not hold up in that area.
