Spotify's automated recommendations seemed okay for me at first, but since I spend most of my time using spotify while working, I think the algorithm decided I'm really into instrumental or ambient music that isn't too complicated and that's all I get now.

Where Spotify really did a good job was just having artists create curated playlists that you can take. I'm amazed Apple doesn't do this more. They have "Inspirations" playlists that are kind of stuff that influenced a specific hit album, but they're clearly curated by someone at Apple.

I guess what I'm asking for is for them to recreate Ping, but make it good this time. Haha
