Just started using AM, it’s a bit of a pain in the butt to love or dislike songs. Also, not sure it actually does anything or not. Online users seem to think it’s mostly just for show and even if you dislike a song it will keep coming back.
I’ve tried a number of the streaming services and my biggest complaint is that I like a song and then it plays that song over and over in every playlist. So far 3 songs in discovery mode, not bad 2/3 new ones and all similar to my wide ranging likes.
- xelia 3y agoI agree, and to mitigate this weakness I created a “Like Song” shortcut that adds the song to a Liked playlist, very similar to Spotify. The only weakness of AM that I couldn’t mitigate is remote controlling songs - Spotify is superior surprisingly so.
- hightrix 3y agoAnecdotally, I’ve found most recommendation systems work best when you do not interact with like/dislike but instead simply play songs you like to seed your algorithm. Google News used to do this constantly. I’d say “show me less” of a topic and then the following day I’d see that same topic with a different category. It was infuriating.
