Export Spotify Data and Music (Playlists, etc.)
I am quite tired of Algorithm in any app, so am I with Spotify.
Today I got a new ugreen Server, and I copied my old mp3 songs and made it a mount folder on my laptop via network, installed Strawberry Music Player, and just found some old gems - started with Billy Clyro 🤘 .

What’s great is that you can just choose your music.
The next step was to export my curated playlist and the songs I had liked and collected over time. Luckily, there are several tools, e.g., Exportify, that can export everything to a CSV. The cool part is that it comes with a Jupyter Notebook included, to analyze your taste 😍.
# Next Steps
Update my mp3s with the latest songs, and just keep rocking that, and syncing it to the mobile phone as well.
But again, look at these songs!! I feel back teleported to my teen, haha.

# People Are Tired of Algorithms
It started with Mary Spender video I’ve Left Spotify Forever, no algorithmic devices as I wrote at Well Being in Times of Algorithms and on the ordinary (boring) life at Uni-Tasker Devices, and away from Algorithms.
I think there will be a big push towards Uni-taskers and just playing music, no algorithm, owing the songs and the material, paying for it.
