Ah yeah fair. I try to use Spotify's algorithms to my advantage to find new stuff I like, but I only seem to resonate with a new song it suggests every now and then.
Years back before Spotify I used to use Pandora. Idk if they are still around but their radio feature always seemed better than Spotify to me. It's been years though.
The main reason I stick with spotify is its generated for me playlists. Some weeks they can be pretty bad but a lot of the time they have songs that I end up adding to my liked songs. It's actually how I found the top 5th band on my wrapped 2023 and 4 of the 5 top songs.
If you haven't used the Playlist like discover weekly or the daily mix ones, I highly recommend trying them.
Spotify does have its own radio feature. Find a song and open the context menu and select Go to Song Radio. I use this sometimes but I don't think it works as well as the playlists.
I’m actually having fun with the DJ feature as well. Sure it need some tuning, but I like how it switches up genres and plays different types of music.
Does the "DJ" talk a lot? I saw that yesterday, but when I clicked it, they went on for a while to introduce themselves, and I noped out of it because listening to a DJ talk is exactly why I avoid listening to the radio anymore.
“He” talks the most the first time since he introduces the concept. Then be seems to jump in every 5ish songs to switch up the genre, like “let’s go back to 2020 and play some of your favorite songs” or “here are some songs from when you were growing up”.
