I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

Turn off Automix in your settings and the Playlist work much better

Automix doesn't do what you're saying it does, it is only an advanced version of crossfading the end of one song and the start of another.

No, it isn't crossfade. It adds random music to your Playlist. I found this fix on Reddit the other day and it made a big difference, I'm now hearing songs on my liked song Playlist that I've not heard in a long time.

Usually I just use everynoise.com playlists to listen to specific genre

I just about lost my mind earlier out of frustration for this. I love listening to rap/hip hop and the algorithm makes multiple mixes with the exact same songs every time.

I just typed in "underground" in search and found so much good shit. Not even all rap. There's all sorts of great music I have never heard!

I've been using Deezer and it's just as good as Spotify, you can also import your Spotify favorites list and playlists. Jumped over during the whole Neil Young/ Joe Rogan cancel

If you're not an Apple assimilate, Deezer is good for songs. Sadly, the part of their app that handles favourites really sucks.

They get really annoyed when you keep asking them about it every six months. What is it with us subscribers?!
