Programming and listening to music go hand in hand a lot of times...

I find a lot of folks like that.

Oddly enough generally I don't.

rainymood.com maybe, but not music very often for me.

Listening to music while programming makes me angry. Spotify only recommends shitty songs completely unrelated to my playlist, so I have to keep looping over my playlist and after a while the songs stop being interesting and start being annoying. Join that with my frustration because my code isn't working and I'm angry.

@F1973 How? I can only click like or dislike on songs that are in my discover weekly. Playlist radios for some reason don't have those buttons anymore.

@F1973 guess the best in the industry is garbage then. It it always recommends me like 4 decent songs. The rest is shitty covers/hardbass/other Russian stuff.

@F1973 nope no switching countries or vpns.
The 6 daily mixes are decent and I quite like these. But the discover weekly playlist is just eh.

I use two accounts. The main one is the one with the garbage weekly mix. It provides the subscription for my family and my second account.
The recommendation on my second one are waaaaay better and it's easy to influence them with likes.

But no luck with my main account. I literally only played kpop for a good month and only liked those songs and my mix had no trace anything in that direction.

Calling the algo garbage is a bit to much though. I'll need to take one back. It's good and does it job wonderfully. Just not in the case of this one account. Not sure what's up with that.

@F1973 huh, I thought that was just some sort of special playlist, didn't know it had any effect on what it recommends me. Thanks!

Yeah sometimes esp during the beginning after then the music just confused you😂

@F1973 While I'm both a Spotify user AND not a fan of Spotify, this is also true in my case!

The one thing I fucking hate about Spotify is how i keep getting tracks in my daily mixes and what-not with the same artist names as artists i listen to, only.... they're just artists with the same name, not the same artists!

Like, I keep getting tracks from both a metal band and a rap group called Malice but I want the rawstyle artist Malice in my tracklist :(

@F1973 Oh and also, tracks i dislike just keep coming back 😅
