Shame we can’t choose the type of shuffle, based on your mood/what you’re listening too (not to add even more complexity).

e.g. For classical music I’d prefer stringing together pieces from the same orchestra/composer. But for some contemporary music would like mix the artist/album up more.

I'd like one that on random and uses each song as an experiment to determine your mood. If you listen through that's positive, instantly skip? That's a negative signal. Just adapt on the fly at the beginning of each listing session.

Wasn't this how Pandora worked?

"The user can use thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to declare whether they like a track or not, which determines whether similar songs should be played in the station.[40] A second thumbs down to the same artist will ban that artist from the selected station.[41] A thumbs down immediately skips a song, but the number of times a user can skip tracks is limited unless they are using one of the paid subscription plans, or opts to watch a video ad.[42][43] More than 450 musical attributes are considered when selecting the next song.[44] These 450 attributes are combined into larger groups called focus traits, of which there are 2,000.[45] Examples of these are rhythm syncopation, key tonality, and vocal harmonies.[45]"

I've never used Pandora before so I had no idea. Do they have a patent on the concept or something? It seems like such an obvious idea and yet the best Spotify can do is prepare a playlist based on taste rather than adapt on the fly.

Based on your comment, I would love to see a feature just as we have a prompt travel in image generations, how about genre travel? A playlist of 10 songs taking me from rock to french house.

I am not sure if the situation I describe is currently in production in Instagram.

But here's what I noticed when I went to the explore section of Instagram.

At display, there would be distinct choices of images and reels, varied and related to my interests. But if I select a particular reel/image type (e.g. animation or comics or 3d render), it would take that as a signal and would expand the feed based on that selection. I love that feature.

I guess Spotify Radio do that to some extent, not sure.

The song radio does that. Really well in my experience.
