Re: Why Spotify’s Discover Weekly is getting really boring?
#2Every Friday I quickly scan through the Spotify new songs/discover and top lists and add the new stuff I like to my main playlist since I don't listen to the radio anymore so it is really the main way I get exposed to new music now. Discover I am lucky to find maybe 1 song a week on that I like and is new. It has just never worked well for me. The new releases by artists you like list is a goldmine though. But none of them are great to listen through on their own in my experience.

#3Despite Spotify's vastly superior user interface and a much quicker Android app, I've found myself switching to Apple music for the singular reason that their curated playlists are much, much better than Spotify's.
I don't have the hours and hours to spend online on music blogs downloading obscure MP3s like I did while I was at university, trawling through to find stuff I like. So now finding new music is more of a challenge.
I've found the curated approach of Apple to be much better than the algorithmic approach of Spotify (and Spotify's curated playlists are also worse).

#4I use Spotify's discover weekly and I'm consistently impressed by the new music that the app shares with me. Bands I've never heard of before that all fit beautifully within the type of music I enjoy. I totally disagree with the author's point.

#5Spotify’s Discover Weekly is crap. It schows me the same crap songs over and over again. A simple mix of albums similar to albums I downloaded on my phone would give a way much better selection. Or simply a
IF song have been seen at least 3 times in DW and skipped after 10 sec THAN do not show song again
would be a high improvement.
[edit] Spotify seems to spend more time curating this forum than curating Discover Weekly.

#6I have a similar feeling, but the "daily mix" playlists are even worse. Why is it called daily if I get the same songs over and over every day?
I miss the infinite streams of Rdio with the adventurous -> familiar slider a lot. You could stay on the same station for months at a time ;(

Same here, still surprises me the songs that has been listed there.
Good experience so far for me.
The only real caveat I have with spotify is the awfully buggy applications.

I miss Rdio in general. When I had to look for an alternative I was really surprised how far behind everyone else, including Spotify, was and still is in terms of overall user experience. Especially if you actually enjoy looking for music and labels instead of being served a weekly playlist that isn't completely irrelevant, yet still rather underwhelming.

I am still amazed about the same thing. Why are they not understanding such obvious behavior with all the sophistication the app otherwise has (eg the match-running speed to music-beat).

I am always looking for Mondays because of that playlist. So definitely disagreeing with the author.
