    I’m going to regret this when not high, but I’d be happy to maintain a list if someone can suggest a service with which to do so that isn’t youtube.

    (Fine, maybe if we have to via youtube but I have to think one of you groovy folks know of something better.)

      Thank you!

      Last I checked, there wasn’t a good way to mirror playlists across different platforms. Maybe I’ll just post on here and ask if there are suggestions
