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.

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

You can configure it to allow those notifications

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