Blend playlist

Messius — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 06:07:53 GMT

I blended with a friend and we had a few common songs. I was wondering how the algorithm works in terms of who listen to that song more, or which profile the song came from? Like listening to the song more than 10 times.

None of the below information is required. However, the more you provide the easier it will be for us to try and help.

Plan

Free/Premium

Country

Device

(iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy 9, Macbook Pro late 2016)

Operating System

(iOS 10, Android Oreo, Windows 10,etc.)

Hi there @Messius,

Thanks for the post.

The song selection for the Blend playlist is fully automated and based on your and your friend's listening activity. The more you listen to a song, the more likely it is to end up in the Blend.

You can check from which library the songs was added, by looking at the profile icons next to the song. If it only has your profile picture, this means that only you've been listening or liked the song. If you see both profile icons, this means that you both share an interest in that track.

In general, there is no minimum number of times that you have to listen to a song, in order for it to end up in your Blends.

Hope this info helps 🙂

My blends are all broken, and they're all being plagued by a song I've never listened to and have no interest in listening to: Cathedrals of March. Why is this? I just want to be able to listen to the music I like... Very strange bug!

Blend story : how are selected the two musics ?

Hi, I was wondering how the two songs are selected in a Blend story between two people, as seen on iOS and Android.

Specifically, I’m referring to the music that plays in the first story, which shows our taste match percentage, and the second story that features “the song that brings us together.”

What are the criteria used to choose these tracks?

Thanks a lot!
