    Damn. They need to revert this change. I don’t get why they would have made it.

    I’m also sad that everynoise was halted. Spotify, man. Their recommendations are their only strength.

    I don’t think mine was 200 either. Nor is/was discover weekly. And I have used both for years now for the purpose the post says, seeking new music for djing/playlists.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bug that quietly inflated a certain percentage of playlists.

    I think I’d like larger playlists for both playlists though!

    The Index controllers are never really out of the way for anything. And sliding them down your wrists is uncomfortable, awkward, not practical for all wrist sizes, etc.

    I personally think the Index controllers are overhyped and terrible. They are awkward, didn’t live up to their promise for finger “tracking”, make your hands sweat, they are bulky, the straps are never quite the right tension, they had durability problems, etc etc.

    I’m not sold on these, but I can see why others are. And why people in the club scene or who are performers would give them a shot.

    I sure miss the original CV1 Touch controllers.

    I also used VR Optician to get an insert for my Index. When I bought it they let you buy them one by one. That was great for me since I’m blind in my right eye. Really well made. I’ve taken it off and on over the years and it has held up great.

    For my Beyond, I had to buy a full pair of inserts. Bigscreen sells them with the HMD. But now I have a backup. I got the same prescription in both.

    Apple will be selling or including prescription inserts for their Vision Pro too. Prescription inserts really are the best and most comfortable way if you can afford it.

    AFAIK you can get them for every popular headset currently being sold.
