I’ve made myself a birthday playlist nearly every year since 2002. The playlists are meant to played in order, not on random. (Pre-2012 Spotify playlists probably have broken links to the copies of the songs on my computer.) Where certain tracks aren’t available on Tidal, I added a link to a YouTube video in the track listing.
