If you use NRbG with a Development Mode API key, things are supposedly about to get bad for that. If you're interested in alternatives, see the bottom of the page for a group you could join to discuss such things.

Presumably NRbG and Curio are now broken for newly created Spotify API keys. Due to the same petty new restrictions to the API I can't create a new API key myself, and thus can't even try them that way. But other people report hitting 429s and getting locked out almost immediately.

If you have hit issues with the Listening History views in Curio showing zero counts for things, do this:

Yeah, sorry, I had to fix the same issue in a couple other places, which I didn't notice because I had the queries cached. Delete any "20XX tracks all" and "20XX tracks full" queries from the query page (the little "x" when you hover), and then go back to Listening History and try again.

Planning ahead for the end of the year, which is STILL A MONTH AWAY: a thing for comparing a genre capsule for your year in music to a friend's. (And yes, in my test case, my "friend" is myself from another year.)

Sometimes I come across a very long playlist and I want a quick sense of how my own listening intersects with it. There are lots of ways to quantify this, but here's one of them in Curio query form (you can copy and paste the query from the alt-text):

?28pRQNZyF8cHagMgrpLBOR.other playlists.tracks /my artist=(.artists:@1.id.artists) ||apoints=(.my artist.counts.points...._,(1),total),alignment=[=apoints*count]#alignment

People complain about Spotify's shuffle mode, and I never listen on shuffle so I don't care, but if you do, you can make your own in Curio: tracks....shuffle/artist;.1:@<=100 Run that on the query page, and then save the results as a playlist.

If you want to scrutinize algorithmic playlists Spotify makes for you, you can copy their tracks into normal playlists and then use Curio to run queries on those. E.g.: playlists:~<[DW 2025-06-27].other playlists .tracks.(.artists:@1).other artists /label=(.artist catalogs.catalog.label)#count

Here, for example, is ?? in a Curio query that gets a playlist and some albums, annotates the track, album and artist overlaps between them (in that order of priority), and flags the tracks in each album that were previously released (by that artist) before their album appearances.

|artistkey=>(.artists:@1.id), songkey=>(....artistkey,name,concatenate), albumkey=>(....artistkey,(.album.name),concatenate) ?(6tHWkiFaXkuGFGrA5BGjkw.other playlists/), (4NDg5ffB2LRsI64Ojj979x,2KcDTzr3qk1nL5KClxHAUt.other albums ??old songs=( .(??this .artists:@1.artist catalogs.catalog:release_date<(this.release date)) .tracks/id=(.songkey) ) ||<tracks,old=(.songkey.old songs) /) ||<of,<tracks,artistkey=(.artistkey),songkey=(.songkey),albumkey=(.albumkey) ??songindex=(/id=(.of.tracks.songkey):count>1||match=~track) ??albumindex=(/id=(.of.tracks.albumkey):count>1||match=~album) ??artistindex=(/id=(.of.tracks.artistkey):count>1||match=~artist) |<of,<tracks, matchsong=(.songkey.songindex), matchalbum=(.albumkey.albumindex), matchartist=(.artistkey.artistindex), match=(.matchsong;matchalbum;matchartist.match)

The new ?? label operation has the same labeling options as a ? start operation, but relative to, and without changing, the current list: tracks|others=(??this .artist.tracks:-(this)) This replaces the more limited special-casing of "=_" in starts: tracks|others=(?this=_ .artist.tracks:-(this))

Today's tiny DACTAL tweak that probably affects nobody: in an aggregation, semicolons explicitly identify aggregators. So this query is a count of counts; the first "count" is a property (of groups), the second "count" is the aggregator. tracks/artist...count;count
