Were you using Discover Weekly or similar? I've found Spotify helped me create a massive list of songs I really liked. My liked list is up over 2,000 and Discover Weekly will usually unearth another 10+ great options without fail each week, and similar with song or artist radio.

Wonder if it's preferred genres or something that happens with a certain playlist size?

(One of my gripes is that the shuffle on long lists isn't very good, but I solved that by splitting my main list into a few sub-playlists and then using shuffle on those.)



My discover weekly used to be great, but at some point it broke and started suggesting me finnish, dutch and german music. Despite me always skipping them in the discover weekly.


I often favour music without lyrics because it's less distracting in an office environment, so music by international artists doesn't bother me at all - might even be preferable. More interesting for my kids to hear international influences if we're listening in the car too.

I just checked my Discover Weekly for this week to see if maybe it had gone downhill, and fav'ed about 20+ out of 30. I think it must just work very well for the styles I like.


same here. i had much better results years ago but recently i think ive been getting someone elses discover weekly by mistake because there is hardly anything on it that i like


Weird. I usually call it "Discover Weakly" or "Discover Meekly" because it's usually about every 3rd week that I find a new artist.

I like all sorts of Americana but Spotify loves to feed me blues. I'm not all that in to "blues".
