![]() ![]() "That's one of the questions everybody asks me," Gabler said in a CBS interview. ![]() ![]() "My answer to that is, not in the conventional sense that we think of someone as being an anti-Semite. But he got the reputation because, in the 1940s, he got himself allied with a group called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was an anti-Communist and anti-Semitic organization. And though Walt himself, in my estimation, was not anti-Semitic, nevertheless, he willingly allied himself with people who were anti-Semitic, and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life." Disney ultimately distanced himself from the Motion Picture Alliance in the 1950s. The Walt Disney Family Museum acknowledges that Disney did have "difficult relationships" with some Jewish men, and that ethnic stereotypes common to films of the 1930s were included in some early cartoons, such as Three Little Pigs but points out that he employed Jews throughout his career, and was named "Man Of The Year" in 1955 by the B'nai B'rith chapter in Beverly Hills.Years ago, before the Like button was introduced, Spotify had a star button, which used to add that song or album to a playlist called Starred. I’ve continued to use that playlist to add songs I like from a variety of genres, while also building more genre-specific playlists. When Spotify sees songs added to playlists it seems to treat that in much the same way as a Like, giving you the best of both worlds - properly curated playlists and a well-trained Spotify. Once you’ve got a few decent playlists curated, you can use these to feed you new music that is aligned to your tastes. Select a playlist and then click the three-dots menu button and select Go To Playlist Radio. This will produce a bespoke playlist of songs that are in the same ballpark as the ones you already like. Better still, a unique playlist is generated every time you select that Radio option, so you can keep getting fresh music from that same playlist. Be specific with Spotify-enabled smart speakers And as the playlist grows and morphs, so does the Playlist Radio. If you want Alexa or Google Home devices to shuffle a playlist, you have to be precise with the terminology you use. “Alexa/OK Google, shuffle my playlist from Spotify.” To get a playlist properly shuffled, you have to say: Otherwise, you’ll find the speaker starts from the first song added to the playlist and works its way through in chronological order. It’s important to get “shuffle” right up front. The word “my” is also very important, as otherwise the smart speaker might confuse a generic playlist of the same name with one you’ve curated in your own library. On that note, it pays to be as specific and unique as possible with your playlist names to minimise the risk of confusion/unwanted substitution. The Spotify search engine is deceptively powerful. The lack of any ‘advanced search’ facility fools people into thinking it’s a basic artist/song search, but it can do much more than that.įor instance, you can search for specific genres, sub-genres, record labels and years of release. So, if like me, you’ve got a penchant for Britpop from 1995 to 1998 (my university years), you can type the following into the search engine:Īnd get a huge list of songs that match that search:Īrtist bios are a goldmine Barry Collins/Spotify What’s more, these terms can be combined to give you a set of results that perfectly match your tastes. One of the less noticeable features of Spotify is the artist biographies, which you can find by clicking on any artist’s name and then selecting the About tab. ![]()
