What value does mining emotions provide for the customer?
A better tailored playlist
And here I am, thinking that Spotify will start to provide me suicide prevention advice if I start listening to extremely depressing songs. I know Twitter tried to do that to me.

#33Here is the referenced July paper [1]. Spotify has a very cool feature called Community [2] where users can talk about what they want Spotify to do. The most upvoted ideas are things like "change my username" or "filter explicit songs." My personal wishlist is a "don't play this song again" button [3] and native Homepod support [4]. The point is that users aren't asking for Spotify to interpret their emotional state,…
> The point is that users aren't asking for Spotify to interpret their emotional state, they just want rather basic features to work. Obligatory “If I’d asked customers what they want, they would have told me a faster horse.” People may not realize the value of this new feature because they have not even imagined it.
Yes, how dare they want functionality to remove facebook from their account so they can login normally or other features?

I use YT Music's Mix feature to discover music and it's pretty good. If my supermix would figure what to play when, that would be pretty dope.

#36How do they get your speech and background noise without microphone access?
They'd need it if they implemented the feature in the app, which they have not done. Ultimately, they may never productionize this.

Spotify would do better to get back to basics on song suggestion instead of trying to guess emotional state - Pandora still finds similar songs by musical elements better than Spotify. A good example to try is to select a song that is out of genre for an artist - an acoustic version of a song that usually doesn't do acoustic for example. The suggestions for similar songs from Spotify all have to do with the artist ge…
My Spotify Most Hated Bug is that I have to be careful what I name playlists now as it’ll completely fuck over the recommend songs if you’ve named it something it thinks it knows about

Spotify has all of their resources focused on podcasts, because that's where they'll be able to become a real aggregator and start making Real Money.
It's a damn shame because the open nature of podcasts is one of the most appealing things about them. I get where they're coming from though.
If they weren't spending ungodly amounts of cash on podcasts (cough joe rogan) they could probably buy pandora (just guessing, not looking at any actual numbers) and replace their recommendation engine with theirs.

#39Thank you for sharing the article. This sounds like an incredible disregard for privacy. Heavens, what happened to curating your own music playlists?
Most companies aren’t able to even keep my email safe.
This is not the kind of information I would entrust to anyone, let alone a music playing company.
