#392This gave me a good laugh. Shared with all my friends and made my group chat blow up for a while. Great job!

Woah, thanks! My 2020 list was topped by some tracks off kids albums which...are for my toddler!
Mentioned to the below responder, but you should give this a try if you're on a family plan, I heard it helps with that problem: https://www.spotify.com/us/kids/
There's not Desktop version for this though, right?

#394I see a lot of comments here (and some in the YouTube recommendation thread currently on the front page) suggesting sometimes a Rube Goldberg-esque series of behaviors to trick the algorithm into performing properly. I see this mentioned as "easy" and "trivial". I consider it "abrasive" and "tedious." The algorithms should work through normal use of the app .

Do you _really_ think they wouldn't've already implemented it already if it were possible in a reasonable way?

#395Well 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.

So... Opeth before Heritage? lol

Actually I'd bet on the opposite: They don't think it makes sense to ignore it. They want to process this data, and they're confident in the weight it's assigned to it.

#398As soon as I saw Tiny Desk Concerts in the list of "objectively good music" at the beginning, I was dying. It knows me too well! I'm gonna check out that list... Spotify has done an excellent job of recommendations lately. It took several years of liking songs and making playlists, but I've been very impressed with Discover Weekly. The shuffle function is still broken, however. It only "shuffles" from like the top 50…
Jerry Martin? No kidding, the Rush Hour OST is legendary! One of my favorite instrumentals to work to, for sure.
A+!

#399As someone who listens to spotify all day while programming, here's my secret to success: I create a playlist to fit a mood (for example, ambient electronic music with a good beat and no words), and I seed it with at least 10 songs. Then, I go down to the "Recommended Songs" section and I just play whatever it recommends. If I don't like a song, I hit the skip button on my keyboard. The vast majority of what it recom…
I do the same thing now, but the recommended section leaves a lot to be desired on mobile.
There's no way to prevent songs from getting suggested (other than maybe blocking a song entirely?). My recommendeds don't seem to get updated until the playlist has changed dramatically. And repeat songs get added to the section even if I haven't added it the umpteen times it was suggested prior.
Is the experience different on desktop or am I doing something wrong?

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)
Liking/disliking makes a difference, but for some reason my likes from 2014 seem to have an identical weight to my likes from today.
I haven't observed that with my account. I think it does change if you spend a bit of effort at letting it know what you like. Like songs you like, hide songs you loathe, skip songs that are meh.
