I make multiple Spotify playlists, each dedicated to a particular type of music I like (country, electronica, folk, house, etc). Spotify Discover seems to work pretty well for me. Yesterday it surfaced an outrun track featuring both guitar and sax solos, which... is pretty on-brand for ethbr0. Having diverse and varied playlists seems to help? I've had friends complain it doesn't work for them, so I must do something different.

>I make multiple Spotify playlists, each dedicated to a particular type of music This is the correct way to make use of the so-called 'algorithm'. I say 'so-called' because I know the algorithm to be dumb/blind. Pick something obscure on a playlist, you will get tour own recommendations back. iTunes is the same. You are gaming the recommended list correctly. Other peoples lists are even better (when they are good ie thoughtful, lists).
