I am still missing Rdio in that regard, they were just playing the right songs all the time. With Spotify this is absolutely not the case and it's even far wors

  Opposite experience here: Spotify is absolutely perfect. They have conditioned me over the past 7 years to love whatever they recommend. YouTube has good automatic playlists but the play-next feature often wanders way off after a few songs

  While I haven't found a recommendation engine that works well enough for me, rdio's was very close to it. It's big feature, among others, was their heavy rotation section - I only followed people that shared a similar taste to mine and we had a really cozy circle of listeners whose current favorites were surfaced by said heavy rotation section. We discussed albums in comment sections, shared playlists and I regularly stumbled upon familiar usernames and friends when discovering new gems. This social component to discovery is completely missing from Spotify, yet it's more powerful than any recommendation engine I have used, including Spotify's attempts, which I'd rate as mediocre. I miss rdio.
