I'm finding this with my Spotify. The discover new music algo just feeds me the same 30 or so songs that I've listened to a million times it must be broken.

Don’t you have access to “Discover Weekly” anymore? My MO is: start curating some playlist based off a genre or theme, start radio from it, keep adding suggestions that fit and I like. Then have a huge playlist with my “I really liked and would play this anytime” and if I find I’m replaying a new song it goes there as well, then, based on your new searching and adding stuff, your next week’s discover might get a lot more interesting. Also shazam stuff on the go and add it to respective playlists, even maybe IFTTT to a Shazam playlist, and even (we need to find a fediverse alternative but I had IFTTT setup to add to a Reddit playlist picking from Music and ListenToThid top posts as well) . So, basically, you need to branch out first so spotify can continue to branch out for you.

IFTTT is insane. I did this a few years ago that I added new songs from my discover weekly list. I have several days of music I've not yet listened to by forgetting to go through my discover weekly every week.

Yess!! I had a “Discover Weekly Archive” too, somehow it got broken and I never set it up again. IFTTT got weird, never sure what’s supposed to be free or paid or what.

I think I had to set it up twice since it got broken once, but I haven't logged in in literally years and the tracks keep on being transferred. 380 hours of music so far.

Jeroba snapped I guess. Network error a bunch of times, so I tried again like five times. Gave up. Then five comments popped up.

If you're on mobile clear your data cache. It seems to me like the app prioritizes a handful of cached songs it's already downloaded, probably to save bandwidth, and doubly so when you're in an area with poor signal.

Speaking of Spotify, I wonder how long it will be before they gut their desktop app for free users. It just feels too functional to be long for this world, especially given how unusable the app is if you don't have premium.
