I invented looksmaxxing way back in high school in the 90s, trying to draw like Sam Kieth.

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

I particularly like that Marvis can show a playlist as a collection of albums, and can sort them randomly, which has been great for both general browsing, like flipping through records, and rediscovering forgotten albums.

I use Apple Music, scrobbling to last.fm with NepTunes on the Mac, and Marvis on my phone. Marvis is especially good at creating a custom interface with smart playlists, etc, if you have the patience to fiddle with it.
