Peaceful Choral Music: 50 tracks from 50 living composers
The playlists are coming back, for real this time.
In the past 2.5 years I've spent most of my time on fundamental metadata issues that made the streaming experience (for classical and other music) often not as pleasant as it should be. We are still not there yet, and I'm aware of the issues that still bother classical fans: long track title readability, especially on mobile; no composer column (though composer is displayed as first artist at track level for classical content); search could be lacking for aficionados and overwhelming for classical newbies. They are not forgotten. It just takes more time to fix 30m tracks delivered by tens of thousands of labels in different formats (and constantly updated), than fixing a personal music library.
From now on I will also spend some spare time on playlisting. Hope you enjoy the first effort. Suggestions and comments are welcome.
