Hi there @adrian234,

Thanks for reaching out. 

We can confirm that this feature is still being tested. At Spotify, we're often testing new features and improvements, that's why you may have something in the app that other users don't or vice versa, or have a feature to try temporarily. In this case, we suggest to keep the app always updated so you don't miss out on any new features and improvements.

Hope this clears things up. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

I received an email from Spotify how I can customize the Discover Weekly playlist but there is NO way to do it.

Hey @danceronice,

Thanks for posting in the thread!

Could you give us some more info about this email that you received? Did it include any details of what exactly you could customize about Discover Weekly and was it about the genres?

You can even send us a screenshot (only make sure no sensitive info is visible such as email addresse(s). You can attach it via the Insert Image option in the post editor.

It's worth mentioning that legitimate emails from us should end in “@spotify.com”.

We're here if you need help with anything else in the meantime.

Recently when I checked out Discover Weekly after ages (only suggests the genres I listen to most, but I just find new ones using song radios), and saw that I could pick which music genre the playlist should have, based on the ones I listen to most.

I thought it was super cool, as I like a few different genres, and this new feature would let me listen to actually randomly suggested songs of the picked genre, rather than a mix of close ones or already heard enough times which the song radios give (playlist based on the styles from 1 song).

Today when I chose to give it a try, the feature was gone. Please bring it back, it would be so useful.

I can see the genre-selector in my Android app, but not on the PC-application?

My Question or Issue

The genre selector in Discover Weekly is a very nice feature on Android.

It seems to be missing on the PC-application though (I got a new install this morning)?

Hey there @defdac,

Thanks for reaching out on the Community! Happy to hear you're enjoying the Discover Weekly features 🙂

Genres in Discover Weekly are currently only available on the mobile app, which is why the option doesn't appear on your PC. If you select a genre, however, that tracklist will be represented across your devices.

Just keep in mind that as the playlist resets every Monday, your Discover Weekly genres and any selections you've made will reset as well.

Hope this clears things up! Cheers.

But why is it not on pc? 

[Adri1407]

it's not on pc, mobile only. Maybe you tried to use it on pc.

I found a "workaround" of sorts. Select the genre on mobile and reload the list on PC and it will have changed to the genre you selected on the mobile device.
