I use Spotify a fair bit atm for checking half known bands and creating playlists and generally trying to fit together some of the jigsaw that is my musical predilections (best to avoid the word "taste" perhaps). Also I "discovered" (in that dozens of people must have mentioned them, and I've probably heard quite a few tracks in passing, but not

I can't find online any sevrice that takes these URIs and turns them into a neat copy/paste-able list of tracks

You may have noticed I've been blogging a Spotify track listing once a month since the beginning of the year... did you really think I was typing them all by hand? ;-P

1) Click the top track of the playlist in the Spotify app.
2) Shift-click the bottom track. This should select them all.
3) Right click the selected block and choose "Copy HTTP link".
4) Go to GMail and hit "Compose Mail".
5) Click "Rich formatting".
6) Click on the body of the email and hit Ctrl-V to paste.
7) The track list will appear. Now select it and hit Ctrl-C (!).
8) Paste into LJ (or any other context expecting text).
9) Profit!

I had half-hoped you had a solution... thanks.

PS. Just finished listening to it - good playlist!

I wish more people would do this. I'm rubbish at discovering music.

So - a Windows system tray app that reads the list of URls from the clipboard, does the HTTP request to get the title of each page, and writes the results back to the clipboard. How hard can that be?

If you like the Dresden Dolls you may well like Amanda Palmer's solo album.

And possibly Ben Folds. Which is a bigger step left from the Dresden Dolls admitedly but fits with the Sleeper and Kenickie tracks.

And I may be telling you what you already know.

I am aware of both but will promote them up the pile based on your recommendation. Had no idea that Amanda Palmer was (in) Dresden Dolls (and clearly didn't recognise the voice) - I seem to have such scattered shreds of info in music, I guess cos I've never been very interested in music magazines etc.
