Maybe they have enough capital now to adjust the Discover Weekly algorithm, which provides a weekly recipe of 30 songs that have no basis in what I listened to or have in my playlists. I do get to discover Millennial sleepily-singing voices to a disco beat and a 'laid back' riff that promises to stay in the background (thanks to a faux garagey sound). Is that what Indy means?
For pre-selected music that I listen to frequently, I use playlists with Spotify.
For truly discovering music with algorithms that work, I use Pandora.
I do notice there is NOT a lot of overlap at times, due to bizarre licensing restrictions and deals.

- therealdrag0 9y agoIt works great for me when I'm not experimenting. But if I listen to an album of a genre I don't normally listen to my next weeks playlist gets pretty spoiled.

- therealdrag0 9y agoWoah. Thanks for pointing this out; never thought about that.
