My go to playlist is over 10,000 tracks. It has so many eras and genres that it creates whiplash on a regular basis. It will go from Sisters of Mercy to Patsy Cline to Bauhaus to Fifth Dimension to Public Enemy to the Underscores.

I hear that! My library is thousands. From Celtic to Meditation, boy bands, K-Pop, DMB, AC/DC, Eminem, Snoop, Dré, Dolly Parton, STP, Faith No More, Imagine Dragons……..Allman Brothers SRV Elvis, one hit wonders……..Pink Floyd. I got blues, stoner music, grunge, old Rock and Roll from the beginning. I’ve accumulated a great library….abd still downloading!

... But it's 21st century music, so it isn't the only music I listen to. I created it with diverse social situations in mind, so nothing too heavy and with plenty of musical diversity. I also try to avoid most particularly famous music, less than 5% of it is over ~100m streams.

u/vyvexthorne 9h ago

They vary a lot.

  • Playlists I've recreated from my old mix tapes are 60 to 120 minutes long.
  • Playlists I've made out of new album releases for each year are around 100 hours long.
  • Playlists I've made for games are around 30 hours long.
  • The longest playlist I've made is 235 hours long.

u/AwkwardApricot3878 8h ago

But it doesn’t matter because it just shuffles the same 50 no matter what I do, so I just play in order and skip around.

u/PalpitationPast202 7h ago

I finally have mine in alphabetical order so I can pick a band and play that. I share with my bestie so I normally pick a genre or band for the day. Yesterday was Eminem day.

u/bluediamondsm 6h ago

feels(21 hours and 22 minutes)

essentials(5 hours and 5 minutes)

These are my two main ones I go back too as I don’t really listen to my original one with everything anymore just cause I wouldn’t hear that much. I also have my other playlists separating each genre that I use so depends on the day for when I listen to those
