WildOne Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have really bad ADD, and option overload can really make my decision making freeze up. There's just SO many options of playlists and such on Spotify, that it's often honestly easier for me to just keep listening to whatever audiobook I have at the moment. It sucks because I really love music and I want to listen to more new music and more artists! When you open Spotify, if you don't already have something in mind that you want to listen to, how do you decide what to listen to? Do you have a few main playlists you cycle through, do you just use your daily mixes? Does anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domination Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Never use playlists or daily mixes. I just go on a best selling albums of 19XX list, pick one with a cool cover or an artist I already have some exposure to, and listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I listen to a song I really like and then just let Spotify (or tidal in my case) put on random songs after that, I end up adding like 80% of them to my playlist bc the algorithm is just that good honestly it’s the best way for me to find new music I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgos Groove Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I usually go for my On Repeat playlist or one of the decade mixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perpetual novice Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 the BEST new feature Spotify has added in the last little while is auto generated mixes. go to your search bar and type whatever vibe, genre, feeling, anything and include the word mix and there will be an auto generated playlist for you. if i want chill music, i type chill mix, something will be there... if i want something angry, vibey, moody, fun, music for shopping or walking.. just type in any word and spotify will somehow have the music for it, it's awesome.

Kayseri Mantisi Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Because I always open Spotify with having something in my mind beforehand? It's not like Netflix where you open it and then decide what to watch after checking the app for half an hour. If I don't have anything in my mind I just randomly play an album I like or my saved songs and let the AutoPlay do it's thing.

Odette Violet Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have my playlists set already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower moon Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) discover weekly can be really good. it gives you new music from artists you listen to or music from artists similar to what you listen to. also starting a song radio can be helpful with new and familiar music. I mainly listen to the same stuff on repeat tho Edited September 25, 2023 by flower moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphy23 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) My favourite thing to do is play a song I like, and then See what Spotify will auto play based on that song. It’s fun. Otherwise my go to playlist. https://spotify.link/Unj25v6ooDb Edited September 25, 2023 by Raphy23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianSolo Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Apple Music here, but same difference—I tend to listen to an album I know I already love but haven't listened to in a long time. This evening, as a matter of fact, it's Beyoncé's 4. I find it easier to transition to another album after already having listened to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I stream mainly R&B/Hip Hop so the algorithm will automatically direct me to what I’m interested in. Otherwise, I stream albums in full or visit the big playlists to see whats out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alldeezy Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Depends, I either listen to an album, if I can't think of one I use the AI DJ. And I got a playlist of 400 songs I love but I mainly listen to that during car rides or when im in shower or cleaning. Lately I played a playlist of 25 songs and have it on loop but that's just my streaming playlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmusicisdead Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 just turn on autoplay or choose a song you're currently vibing with and click "Go To Song Radio". i think those works the exact same way IDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I have a bunch of albums saved on spotify and usually go there, listen to something, like the songs I liked the most then generate a song radio for the one I liked the most. But I usually supplement Spotify with RYM as far as music discovery goes. Anything I rate on RYM I check out the lists they are featured on and you can find gems that way.
