Good Recordings on Spotify - Share your Playlist?

[Jose Sifontes]

I know that Spotify is not necessarily an audiophile source, but I do use it to discover music I can then get on HD digital or vinyl. Wondering if any of you have curated playlists of audiophile-worth tracks that you would be willing to share. I am partial to jazz, classic rock and classical, but really looking into good recordings, so will flex genres in preference of that.

This is one I follow by Tristan Howard: https://open.spotify.com/user/trisweb/playlist/02BvuUOuW5PMIeFLC57Zqz?si=p6kc5c5sRxanjNdnlLlxTw

I am migrating my personal ones from Tidal as I shutting down that service, will post them here over time.

Thanks,

Jose

Here's a public list I created with the tracks PS Audio's Paul McGowan uses in their demo room:

Thanks for sharing your list, Jose. I'll check it out next chance I get. For me, I've used many tracks listed here by What Hi-Fi magazine. I really enjoy how diverse their selections are as well as how sonically excellent they are.

Why did you choose Spotify over Tidal?

 

[Jose Sifontes]

@Sonnie I did not choose Spotify easily. I tried to get the family (wife, daughter) to adopt Tidal, but they teamed up to defend Spotify because my wife had a large collection of playlists and my daughter followed friends to discover new music in Spotify. So after paying for both for a couple of years, I simplified down to Spotify to save $$. Tidal sounds better, no question about that, but for the purpose of discovering what music I want to invest in buying in vinyl or HD, Spotify is good enough. I use Jriver on a Macbok to listen to my collection of HD music.
