This is why I've evolved into an upper echelon and stopped streaming music and decided to be a album guy now

I got around this by developing smart playlists which rotate in stuff I like based on tags and then filtered by how recently the songs were heard or skipped.
However, this requires a truly autistic dedication to not only maintaining a local music collection, but tagging the shit out of it, and developing complex queries (in Quod Libet) to make smart playlists for all manner of different moods & hankerings.
If you are a computer-touchy autist with a local music collection though, Quod Libet might just be the tool for you. I do abuse playlists as tags because the UX is better in a lot of ways.
I’m almost the opposite. I wish I had the ability to constantly be introduced to new sounds. I love the music I listen to, but always waiting for that next sound to pull my attention.
I do too, but the difficulty in finding new sounds means I keep going back to the same songs. They do slowly rotate out as a FIFO queue. But very slowly.
For me its a few artists where I like pretty much everything they have done but ends up being tons of songs.
So, should we like, share playlists, or….
We're all going to hate each other's playlists
Why stray from the faves???
One possible reason: the unique sensation when a 3-star song I've been listening to for a decade suddenly "pops" and becomes a fave is like nothing else
