I'd LOVE to see this concept in a separate form for full length of what ever can be licensed to be shown in full.

I gave it 15 minutes of several years and stations but they are all snippets and ads. Got very repetitive and boring.

Great idea but needs to be watchable for more than 30 second bits from really really obscure broadcasts.

Yep, that makes sense. I will try mine for a few weeks but I'll keep an ear for musics playing over and over. If I notice the same music playing over the weeks I'll incorporate your idea 😁

Finally getting around to checking out your app (I wish it was a website, not an app), having some strange experiences. First off, I was prompted for my iPhone PIN, which no app should ever be doing. I skipped that step and got into the app, cloned my liked tracks as you described (UI was a little laggy, I ended up getting 2 copies of that playlist), but I'm not seeing any way to randomize the newly created playlist. What did you mean by that?

Well the church here is suuuuuuuuuper mild in comparison to most other countries as Scandinavia is super secular, but I just oppose it ideologically.

I think a junkie I talked to said it's just a basic service, a couple of hymns and a sermon by a Finnish Evangelical Lutheran pastor, so pretty airy-fairy "we should aim to do good" and none of that "sin and you'll go to hell" shit. Still, the idea bothers me slightly, even if the practice doesn't.

Finland had a massive denouncement of the church when someone just made an online tool that let you do it automatically.

Although I have to say that money really does get spent rather well here, as there's no massive Catholic churches that suck in money and the church we have does a lot of charity work and gives food.

If people could've just changed that to go to a secular institution, I think they would have. No-one really cared that much about the 1% church tax.

As I dislike the idea of making vulnerable people sit through indoctrination to get food, as some church food aid programs require you to sit through a service before you can get the aid.

It's like a Flat Earther going to get confirmation to their whacky world views from hungry hungry hobos by dangling food in front of them.
