Weirdly, some genres seem to be entirely absent. I listen to a lot of jazz and classical, and with the exception of the occasional jazzy pop song, I never get recommendations for those genres.
Granted, Spotify doesn't have a huge amount of contemporary jazz (much of what I listen to are imported ECM tracks that Spotify doesn't have, though not all), but it does have a lot of classical.
I don't think it's ever recommended any Latino or folk music, either, come to think of it.
- erikbern 9y agoclassical music has notoriously bad metadata on spotify – it just doesn't fit into the data model of artist/album/track. i think that causes the system to filter out a lot of the listening data or fail to find patterns. not sure what's up with jazz but i'm guessing it could be a similar problem
