i never went into spotify. Too much "tunnel-hearing" and, $$money-related choice.
My collection is like 20k pieces (curated with time, some still whole albums, some 1 song only). a) put all that on a usb stick. inserted in car's audio. random-all. 2 years already.. b) Alternatively, keep same on the phone, for not-in-car entertainment - bicycle, office, you name it. c) at home - kodi and other media players, over the network shares. Sometimes manual pick, sometimes random.
btw.. car's builtin as well as aftermarket radios (2023-2025) cannot take/index more than 5000 pieces / mp3s. Some even lower, like 3000. So.. i had to bundle above pieces back into whole/half-albums (anyone remember LP-sides? there)
