Re: How bad is your Spotify?
#92The problem with this service is that most times, I don't chose what I listen to. Spotify does. I play music all day while working and I'd love to listen to more artists but most times, I'm stuck in the routine between my Release Radar on Fridays, Discovery Weekly on Monday, and Daily Mixes during the rest of the week. I add songs I like to a variety of personal playlists and sometimes I start a "Song Radio" for a so…
I have no proofs, but I feel that liking/disliking songs does make difference (even though I'm still struggling to get rid of tons of bad covers and mediocre music in Slav languages)

Re: How bad is your Spotify?
#95Looking at title I thought it was rant about product quality. But it's not, so I'll provide mine. Since 2013 when I've started paying for Spotify it has turned from one of my favourite apps to one of those I hate most. On my previous Android phone it would freeze every other day when there was no internet. Why? Who knows. Could be related to me using SD card, or could be something else. The phone wasn't very old, but…
I've got the polar opposite opinion to yours. Spotify has been God's gift to mankind as far as my experience goes. I'll get the negative out of the way first: their UI teams loves to keep tweaking stuff, which is annoying. It's a stable app and they should leave it alone. Having said that, it's wonderful. I can download all my music. It has some truly wonderful playlists for when I'm coding. It's recommendation engin…
I had similar opinion to yours until around 2015, then things started to break randomly. To be fair, I discovered some good stuff via recommendation and I like other features you mentioned (though I don't really use podcasts). However none of this matters when basic playback functionality is broken.

#96Well that was dumb. The entire thing was generic insults that could be applied to literally anything. > You are 0% basic. Have you considered there's a reason nobody listens to Perihelion Ship?. Screw you, they're great. Its Opeth with growling.
Thats the point. Its designed to make fun of you
Re: How bad is your Spotify?
#97Funny, but I was hoping this might provide some insight into why my Spotify is so bad, even by my own tastes. Spotify constantly queues and recommends songs to me that are so bad, I can’t even imagine how there could possibly exist any data indicating that any significant sample of listeners has ever enjoyed hearing them. Spotify has 5+ years of my listening history, and orders of magnitude more data from listeners a…
It feels like it's a self-fulfilling spiral of bad music. The more I listen to the recommended music, the more of the same crap keeps getting recommended to me. Even if I skip them.
I remember that Spotify actually had pretty good recommendations when I first started using it at the start of this year, because I had only listened to the songs I actually liked so far. But now I'm lucky if I find one decent song out of a hundred recommended ones.

#98lol that’s really cute. Spotify permissions it asks for make sense. It was really confused by all the kid music I play. Why so much Raffi? Their training set must not include people with children. :)
I was asked > "You listen to 'Super Simple Songs' a lot. I mean A LOT. Are you ok?"
Yes, I STAN for Leftöver Crack ... and the Wiggles.

Liking/disliking makes a difference, but for some reason my likes from 2014 seem to have an identical weight to my likes from today.
