You can lose the commercials with a paid subscription, and create your own playlists. But thing is, a lot of us already own the music we like to play, so other than using Spotify on a mobile device, it really doesn't serve any purpose for me. In regard to Herb's album, I don't need to hear it as a poor sounding streaming version with loud commercials interjected constantly. I'm not that desperate--I'll wait for a CD or FLAC download.
I did try programming an A&M-related channel, but it threw in a bunch of shlock that I couldn't stomach. I realized that the diversity is too broad to really do a successful channel. TJB sounds different from Sandpipers; neither sound like Caprenters; none of those sound like Procol Harum; none of them relate to Edu Lobo or Supertramp, Brothers Johnson or Janet Jackson. In this case, I'd rather throw together a playlist myself and play it back via my music server or over the Zune if I'm out on the road.
My playlists vary--if I do an artist compilation, I will do it chronological if I can. But, I have a few where I found a nice mix of tracks that sounded good together. I created a cool one with tracks from Pat Metheny (solo and Group) and Lyle Mays, all album tracks, that are very mellowed out and segue into one another--it is like listening to a completely 80 minute program.This is why, when I create such a playlist, I always put the selections in chronological order. They're never going to be a perfect segue, but at least they blend within a general time frame.
I peaked at those posts because they piqued my interest!I was guilty on two occasions here (now fixed!)- but I also got it right with "piqued" a number of times, too. We all get brain cramps once in awhile.
