My favorite part of Spotify is the "Related Artists" link. I can click on it and see that Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Pink Floyd, and Queens of the Stone Age are somehow related to Led Zeppelin. This starts me on a very cool journey to discover music I might not have heard.
It is like Wikipedia - click on an artist, then a related artist, then an artist related to that ... Great for road trips and long coding sessions. I can get a sampling of a little bit of music history without having to go to a record store and search through bins of records. Don't get me wrong - the record store was great, but this is better.
- slouch 13y agolast.fm has provided a related artist feature for longer than spotify has existed!
- muttnik 13y agoThe last.fm spotify app also has a "recommended" tab, which has given me some pretty good recommendations.
- lostlogin 13y agoJust don't try the option they call radio. It's awful.
- Erwin 13y agoIf you use "Follow" on sufficient amount of artists, and Favorite some songs, the "Discover" option gives you some decent selection of more of what you might like (plus the alerts will tell you every time something new from one of your followed artists appears). After year with Spotify, I can't imagine going back to the model of buying one album/song at a time now.
