The ability to choose between new music and songs you have hear before on Spotify radios

[Benknight400]

In my experience with Spotify radio, I've found it really useful for two functions, to find new music similar to the radio I pick, and to listen to music I know similar to the radio I pick. A slider or something along that line that allows you to choose the ratio of familiar: unfamiliar music would be an incredible tool to have. It would put the user in much greater control over the recommendation algorithm

This 100%.  I've thought about this for so long.  A little slider on the auto-generated playlists that let you pick whether you want mostly new stuff or mostly stuff you already like would be so valuable.  A lot of times I want to hear new stuff that is similar to a certain song and have to sift through all the stuff I already like!
