Spotify Finally Allows You to Add as Many Songs to Your Library as You Want

Long before Spotify was a thing, I collected music on my computer during my college days. That collection, which had everything from Cradle of Filth to Dashboard Confessional, to Reverend Horton Heat, easily surpassed 10,000 songs by the end of my first semester as a freshman. By the time I graduated, I had close to 40,000 songs, which are still on that old external hard drive. I definitely had to spend a lot of money on the requisite hardware, but now that we’ve been able to stream music to our phones for a while, there’s no such thing as limits—at least that’s how it’s often felt. But Spotify has capped the number of items you can add to your library for a long time. On Tuesday, the music streaming service announced that it’s stepping into the limitless present and trashing that archaic 10,000 song restriction.

Katie Crutchfield Performing Each Waxahatchee Album In Weekly Ticketed Livestreams

For a while there, Katie Crutchfield was hopping on Instagram Live with Kevin Morby on a weekly basis, covering songs and playing her own music, with a focus on tracks from her recently-released classic Saint Cloud. Their last stream was at the end of April, though, and today Crutchfield has announced a new series of livestreams where she'll cover all of her Waxahatchee albums one week at a time. These are a little different in that they're all ticketed performances through the service Noon Chorus, which has been utilized by artists like Japanese Breakfast, Torres, Jess Williamson, and more in recent weeks as a way to make money while the idea of touring remains a far-off possibility. Crutchfield is using her performances as a way to raise money for her band and crew, and she's also donating a portion of the ticket sales to independent promoters around the country. Here's her statement: I’m announcing a run of five livestreams where I play all five of my albums in their entirety. This
