Name it shufflenplay so then you can
shufflenplay <playlist name>
I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I’ve got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.
I didn’t want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.
i have different directories named after moods/styles filled with hard links to my music. works better than playlists for me
So real. I’ve always thought music apps like iTunes/Spotify etc. were superfluous when you already have a file system and sym links.
But how do you get latest tracks?

No. Low quality multi-generation lossy re-encodes.
Soulseek or doubledouble.top
Yeah okay but how do you discover new music?
Shazam what I hear around me and like. Often it’s just bus drivers listening to music, and since I sit in the front if possible, I can discover music. Or just radio, whether it’s FM, DAB+ or internet. AM is usually limited to news and bazillion chinese stations.
you should swap Shazam for the open source “Audile” :
Nothing worth listening to has been produced since 1989 /s
