I particularly like that Marvis can show a playlist as a collection of albums, and can sort them randomly, which has been great for both general browsing, like flipping through records, and rediscovering forgotten albums.

I use Apple Music, scrobbling to last.fm with NepTunes on the Mac, and Marvis on my phone. Marvis is especially good at creating a custom interface with smart playlists, etc, if you have the patience to fiddle with it.

Go to concerts by yourself. Go to movies by yourself. Go to restaurants by yourself. Travel by yourself. It’s normal and good!

You gotta call me, man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.
Sincerely yours, Stan, PS: We should be together too.

I’m warning you with peace and love. I have too much to do, so no more fan mail! And no objects to be signed. Nothing! Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.

two panels of a Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller. Nancy sees a NOTICE board and then blacks out the T with a pencil so the board reads NO ICE. Nancy smiles.
