It's normal to play the same song over and over again (2016)
I&#x27;m curious about other people&#x27;s experiences with how they choose what music to listen to.<p>Many of my friends carefully curate playlists on Spotify, or listen to the playlists they make for you. Others listen to the radio and just enjoy whatever comes on.<p>On the other hand, I have a large library of music (~13k songs) and just kind of decide what I&#x27;m in the mood for on a whim. No playlists, just a large collection of albums that I manually select or tell Siri to play for me. This method doesn&#x27;t even work with Spotify for me due to their 9,999 song limit for libraries so I had to change to Apple Music when it surpassed that amount.<p>I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve ever met another person who manages their music collection the same way so I&#x27;m curious about how rare it is. Shockingly, I manage to not fall into habits of listening to the same thing over and over, but actually enjoy the majority of the music somewhat regularly.<p>If my entire library were put on shuffle, I could likely name the artist with around 80% accuracy and the song &#x2F; album with maybe 50% accuracy. There are definitely ones that I get wrong, but with a library of that size, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s particularly realistic to memorize everything.
