I use iTunes differently to Spotify.

For a start, if I really like a song I’ll buy it and place it in iTunes. That way it’s on my phone and my iPod (which means I can listen in the car). I know Spotify has an iPhone app but I can’t connect my phone to my car so I use an old iPod for that.

But because Spotify is more “transient” than iTunes, I spent a lot of time setting up smart playlists and the like in iTunes. It’s my stuff and I want it exactly how I want it. With Spotify I don’t have that investment (and there’s no point in me buying Spotify Premium because I tend to listen to about ten songs intensively till I’m sick of them - not thousands of songs, which would make it worthwhile). So I don’t set up playlists in Spotify.

Which leads to an unusual side-effect. I know have started listening to albums again. Choose an artists and set Spotify playing through the album in the order intended. Something I’d not done for years.
