As with all music recommendation engines, I want the ability to remove things from the mix. I have zero interest in music similar to Kidz Bop, it's just something I happen to play for my kids.

There’s a way to do that: click the See stats for a playlist button and select a playlist to only get recommendations for that playlist

Pretty cool, but after I visited the settings page and changed nothing, I hit Save… and now the profile page says I have listened to 0 genres and keeps crashing the tab on iPhone/safari :( Not sure if the settings page is related, but that was when it started.

I have an idea why this could have happened. Will look into this tomorrow and fix. Sorry!

If you say music discovery then I expect to discover things I don't know. Currently this is only offering new releases by artists in playlists.

I understand that via the API you can't get access to their whole graph and recommendation engine.

Currently when I like something I go to "artist radio" or "song radio" to find new things.

For a better discovery tool you need to use data from outside of Spotify

I like to use Spotify Release List [1] which is also a good replacement for the Spotify Release Radar. It just watches for artists you follow and doesn't include those that buy their way into the Release Radar (I'm looking at you, Ed).

How does this compare to Music Butler? It recently went to a paid model. I did find the service very useful for the 3ish years I used it, but I didn't jump to premium, and kinda stopped using it. Curiously, what makes this service different and how will you ensure "100% perpetually free with no strings attached"? https://www.musicbutler.io/

This is cool! How/where does it get the new releases data from? Would be nice to have a service like this for books
