Main thing I miss from Spotify is the discover weekly playlist.
I started using Apple Music because Spotify’s attempts to ruin podcasts by making them exclusive to their platform irritated me.
Discover weekly is a really great thing though and Apple Music’s stuff isn’t as good.
- darnfish 5y agoI think Apple Music's "New Music Mix" is their version of Discover Weekly, it's under the Listen Now tab
- spideymans 5y agoThe New Music Mix only releases one playlist a week. I believe Discover Weekly releases five playlists a week, each with their own moods. I much prefer Spotify's approach. However I do find that both services largely recommend the same music to me. They just have different mechanisms of surfacing it.
- dag11 5y agoDiscover Weekly is once a week: on Mondays. You're thinking of Daily Mixes, of which there are 6 that update throughout the week, one playlist per day. To go along with Discover Weekly there's also a Release Radar playlist that updates every Friday with that week's new releases from your artists. Spotify is so deeply engrained into my weekly schedule that I really look forward to the Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists bookending my work weeks.
- fossuser 5y agoYeah - it sucks in comparison. Not at all similar to anything in my library. It might as well be random.
- schmorptron 5y agoThat's fair, same for me. Discover weekly (and to an extent release radar) were some of the best features on Spotify for sure, they had a way higher chance of really hitting good than they have any right to.
