It plays music and doesn't get in your way. Currently, Spotify:

* Has intermixed music with Podcasts

* Cannot manage a queue properly. Going forward and backward random just plays completely unrelated songs (ran into this one tonight with my kids)

* Displays full-screen pop-up ads

* Randomly fails to play sound, despite showing the song playing

* Completely forgets recently played songs

* Barfs an insane amount of junk at me in the home screen

* An AI DJ that is completely garbage. Playing essentially random junk.

* Emails me a bunch of spam

* Pushes music videos, despite having no interest

* Is completely, 100% useless if you turn explicit mode off (I have young kids)

Well, you’ve obviously have put some thought into this, even if subconsciously. I would like to just add that not only was the ai dj terrible but I would always just hear the same songs over and over. I never count but seems like a handful of songs would be in every play list 8/10 times.

Haha, yes. I've put too much thought into it :P

> I never count but seems like a handful of songs would be in every play list 8/10 times.

I've joked with my wife that the AI is really just whatever songs are going to generate the most revenue for Spotify.

For me, it alternates between:

* Cutting off a series of good songs too quickly

* Playing the exact same 4 songs in a cluster

* The DJ telling me "I love these songs", then proceeding to play songs I have literally (1) never listened to (2) have skipped repeatedly in the past few weeks.

It's also fun that it can't figure out me playing sleepy time music for hours and hours on occasion is not indicative of me actually enjoying that music.
