Music
I have very low music literacy, in that I often know a song but don't know its name or artist. This makes it very hard to put on music that I want to play, or to discover music adjacent to songs that I like. Organizing information helps me understand it better, so I've organized my favorite music in an effort to better connect artist, album, and song.
This page also enables me to quickly access music that I like, something that I find difficult in Spotify's interface. Jump to the part you want:
