Spotify seems to be quietly removing genres from the API now. I'm going to wait and see where this goes before I change the https://t.co/glhvpEuAbR connections. NRbG is not affected.

It's more Unraveled than Wrapped, but here's a tour of the things you can do with your Spotify extended streaming history if you request it and load it into Curio: https://t.co/a7kZKFS3oj

For anybody who hasn't been following Curio developments on other channels, the update is that if you download your Extended Streaming History from Spotify (e.g., after December 31?), Curio can do a bunch of stuff with it.

If you're using NRbG and the previews stopped playing, Force Reload and try again. If you wish you got this note earlier, switch to Bluesky.

I'll still probably post any major updates here, for a while, but for more stuff come over to https://t.co/AT6PPFTYVi.

I've been working on Curio to make the listening tools I wanted for myself. But I don't always already know what I want. And anyway, your data is yours. So now it has a query language, so we aren't limited to what I already think. https://t.co/pXcrVO5GT2

PS: If these updates are any tiny fraction of why you're still here, @everynoise.bsky.social.

My guess is that the generator is trying to create new Pulse/Edge lists for genres that didn't have them before, but a single Spotify account can only have ~10k playlists, and particledetector is maxed out.

Last week Pulse died after Campursari, and Edge after Classic Bhangra. They die at slightly different places each week, but 8/24 was the last time Pulse got past Classical Jazz Fusion or Edge past Deutschrock.

Some of the Pulse and Edge playlists are still updating and some aren't, and I hadn't tried to figure out why until now. The answer is embarrassing, though not for me. My automation is still running, but it updates each series in alphabetic order, and dies in the Cs or Ds.

I wrote some code and some words about searching for music. https://t.co/lfjZD2CfHn

But it finally occurred to me that the internet archive has snapshots of some specific artist profiles from https://t.co/nQOir7dTa6, which used to show all the codes even on things available everywhere.

If I *made* you curious, the country-availability list on Spotify tracks and releases went from 184 countries to 185 recently, and it took me a while to think of where I could get a public list of the old 184 so I could see which one was new.

If you don't know what this means, you almost certainly don't care. But it took me a day to think of a way to figure this out without access to my old Spotify data, so I'm recording it for my own future reference.

The track- and album-search research features now have some extra syntax for artist filtering. https://t.co/NNOrGNUhYY
