I’ve noticed Apple Music doing this too. It used to not do it: discovered some wonderful music by saying “Play some music” and it would suggest new songs
Now, same small set of songs. Is there a way to force it to change? Like a different prompt
- californical 4y agoJust a theory, but I bet they (and Spotify) are sticking to songs that cost them less per play, when you get stuck on a group like this

- bluepizza 4y agoThere is no song that costs more. Labels are paid by the amount of streams they get in total. The distribution of money is made by the labels.
- hnburnsy 4y agoI wonder if the streaming services considered favoring longer songs to save on per stream fees.
- skeeter2020 4y agoDoesn't everyone just say "Play me one of the songs that someone else on the same CDN edge node recently listened to"? :)
- bluepizza 4y agoIt wouldn't save fees, because what Spotify does is allocate a percentage of their income to pay artists, and that's it. So whichever way this income is allocated, they are paying the same amount of money anyway.
- hnburnsy 4y agoclear the cache on the mobile client, Spotify may be caching songs locally to save on bandwidth.
