I use music streaming services mostly for their shuffle features, not for playing music I select. I'm not a fan of this idea, because then those services would be able to pick winners and losers (the artists) based on a shuffling algorithm I don't have control over. This creates a perverse incentive where labels could try to influence the frequency of their artists in those shuffled playlists over smaller labels and independent artists.
