Spotify hack called Sort Your Music - Sort your Spotify playlists by any of a wide range of musical attributes such as tempo (BPM), loudness, valence, energy, danceability, popularity, and more. Why this functionality isn’t embedded or available in the app is frustrating, but at least there is a simple workaround.
Until next week.
Stay spirited, stay resilient.
