Spotify is the most popular, even though not my favorite, environment for music listening nowadays. To quote the great Joe Roberts of 'Sound Practices' it is one of the 'ideal jukeboxes' we are lucky enough to have access to in the 2020s. We really do live in the days of science fiction made real, after all, but I digress...
Back to Spotify. Among the millions of playlists avalaible, there are a few that are particularly remarkable for audiophiles. Especially two.
The Harman Art Of Listening Playlist allows you to try some tracks chosen by Harman experts, from the ubiquitous Tracy Chapman's Fast Car, to Michael Bublé's version of Fever and more. Particularly interesting if you do blind testing, for Harman laboratories are famous for their ongoing experimentation, arguably the greatest effort yet made to make sense of subjective blind tests in audio.
With the other you can stop doing blind tests, just sit back and have plenty of time to relax, with more than 3000 tracks (!). TNT-Audio Suggestion is the collection of music recommendations by TNT-Audio editor Lucio Cadeddu. AFAIK it is constantly being updated, and it will be for a long time to come.
