: well… it looks like I’ve finally switched from #spotify to #applemusic. I knew it was coming. am I happy with this change? partly, yes. but I already miss Spotify’s music recommendations. with Apple Music I feel like I stepped back five years with my playlists. maybe it’s just a matter of changing my habits and the way I use the app. I know I can accomplish the same things I had on Spotify – it just needs time.
now, the next step is to change my podcast player from Spotify to… well, I’m thinking about Apple Podcasts or Pocket Casts.
it looks like I’m slowly staying loyal to just two companies – Apple and Automattic (the company behind WordPress). I just wish Automattic would integrate all their apps more. I’d love to use Day One as my main diary editor and sync it directly to my WordPress blog. the same with podcasts in Pocket Casts. and Simplenote! I’d totally use it – but is it still in development? will they abandon it? it feels so disconnected from other Automattic tools.
honestly, I could easily replace my Apple-centric ecosystem with Automattic’s one – with my WordPress blog at the heart of it. actually, that’s where I’m heading already. it would just be so much easier if their tools talked to each other a bit more.
