This is happening to me as well. I swear if this is a "feature" change I'm leaving Spotify. I've found so many artists with this I was able to overlook that it wouldn't really give me a mix and just "low-key" shuffle around what was already there or had been there very recently.
Basically if I only one song from a particular album was in my daily mix enough times, it would ONLY have that one in the mix. I've had to go back and listen to a bands full album just to get it to start including other tracks from that release.
Server side:
1) Storage for catalog of music
2) Database of catalog metadata
3) Index on data for common fields that are searched against
Client side:
1) User login for authenticating their account
2) Local storage point for saving/caching
3) Input field for querying and searching local/remote data
Lol it's really not hard, on so many levels. This is not hard whatsoever but yet it somehow is.
