Between the constant pings from Slack and the AI-generated discovery feeds that keep trying to shove viral tracks down my throat, the simple act of listening has become a chore

Ya know what would make way more sense? Learning to manage the notifications on your phone. Not just while listening to music but, like, always.

If you don't need Slack notifs, put them on silent. And I can't imagine any reason you would need any notifications at all from Spotify, so just turn them off altogether.

Right? "Android authority" but hasnt fine tuned their notifications to not interrupt their music?

I agree though many people have on-call work positions and turning off notifications is a risk to their job security

I'm not sure that ignoring them to listen on an iPod is any better.

It’s not necessarily that. It’s more like, if I configure my phone to silence notifications for an hour on the weekend, there’s a chance either through my own fuckup or the settings being so complicated that come Monday morning I will miss something from work.

I don’t know why people are losing their minds over the concept that someone might want to get away from their phone for a while.

You can configure it to allow those notifications
