![]() The vast majority of the time that I flex Spotify’s music-finding brawn is when I want to find more music similar to specific songs or playlists that I’ve already curated, not just to play certain artists and their sound-alikes. When one song really stands out to me I can leverage Spotify’s algorithms to my advantage - with the standalone radio feature, not so much. As a power user, playing a radio station based on a specific song or group of songs is much more useful to me than a general radio feature based on artists or genres. One of the reasons I use Spotify, and have been using it for the last six years straight, is that I can play whatever song, album, or artist I want, whenever I want, whether I’m on a free plan or a paid one. ![]() Radio is easy to use, and I enjoy the songs it plays based on specific artists, but I almost never find myself using standalone radio in my daily listening experience. ![]() When you realize that someone hundreds or thousands of miles away has read your mind and done exactly what you want, without your having to ask, it’s a great feeling. After realizing that the music playing is indeed not part of my playlist, I’ve internally thanked the product designers at Spotify that my phone A) kept playing music at all and B) kept playing music that fits what I had been playing before. I’ve found myself more than a handful of times jamming out to an amazing song, one that I’ve never heard before, having become engrossed in something with friends and having forgotten entirely about DJ-ing. Makes sense given that it chooses songs based on the content of playlists that I have already curated myself. ![]() This feature consistently impresses me with a fantastic ratio of songs that I really enjoy to songs that I want to skip.
