I’ve been running this playlist and newsletter for over four years, and have been subscribed to both Apple Music and Spotify for longer than that.
Both services have their pros and cons (mostly cons) but I do get value out of them. Spotify is better at suggesting me songs I might like, and Apple Music is better at recommending music/playlists that it knows I like.
The other day I realized that Spotify thought I was depressed, and, yeah… Probably. The playlists that it started to recommend were very on the nose.
Algorythms are scary things. They see what you do, and who you are, sometimes know you more than you know yourself.

🎧 Downbeat.fm Vol. 4 Track 5
Try picking a song off a record that you like and make a radio station or radio play. From there find a song from a band you are not familiar with. Then make a another station from that . Then take five bands from that list. Play their catalog on shuffle. Pick 4 songs for all five bands . Use that as your base playlist. I use this method on Spotify and Prime music. As like you I have a diverse catalog of music. This is the only way I discover old or unknown talents.
