Create Similar playlist gone

[thedeaddoll]

This feature was INTEGRAL to my usage of Spotify. I need to have it back in order to properly find new music I actually enjoy.

What do you think? I still create a lot of my own playlists. Some time ago, there were functions for creating similar playlists to an existing playlist and also adding to it. I thought these functions were really good, because you can find new tracks and get a cool new playlist, and there are also artists that I didn't know myself and cool new suggestions. So shouldn't the functions be selectable again? They were at the top of the selection in a newly created playlist and have not been since a few updates, which I find very, very unfortunate.

I cant imagine why you would need to remove it?
It was the best feature in Spotify for finding music you really liked and now i feel sad everytime i open the app.

I don't understand why this was removed. This was my #1 core feature that kept me subscribed to spotify. The other new "enhanced shuffle" sucks because I don't want to have to wade through songs I already know when I'm looking for new music. If they don't bring it back in a month or two I think I'm going to bring my business elsewhere, I suggest others in the thread do the same

I'm seriously considering cancelling my premium subscription for me and my whole family after having this feature removed for no reason.

The single redeeming quality of Spotify was and always has been its ability to find new music that I actually enjoy and make it immediately accessible to me.

What good does a catalog of 100M+ songs do anymore if I only ever get the same ~20 recommended to me while you willingfully remove every last bit of functionality that I could use to work around the mediocre and ever-repeating SmartShuffle and Autoplay suggestions? Those have been suggesting the same stuff to me for months now.

It's not like that single entry in the playlist context menu ever confused anybody. There has been no need to remove it just to add SmartShuffe. They can co-exist.

But "Create similar playlist" was the single most critial feature for finding new music fitting a specific niche or taste. With it gone, you might aswell unlist everything but Taylor Swift and whatever picks are currently in the Spotify-curated playlists.

I give it until June till Imma gone, and I‘ve been using Spotify since it was just through Facebook

i have a catalog of over 15k liked songs, and now I can’t find a single new one it seems

I have playlists from all the way back to 2013 so it‘ll be heartbreaking to lose, but I just CANNOT take their changes at this point

I can’t even see what is liked or not in a playlist I made which is fkfbffbfbfbfb

imma in the top 1% of listeners of listeners every year, but I have to leisten to the same music on repeat… reiterating how much this strips Spotify of what it had

[susanglezs]

YES!!!

You can certainly customize the login and it doesn't necessarily have to be via FB. I had this for a long time and have been able to change it since last year.

I can confirm the other thing. Searching for new music is not so easy, especially discovering great new young artists and not always the well-known artists and bands.

I'm also a fan of remixes, which aren't easy to find either, from new to old tracks.

I don't find it easy to use either. There is certainly a better solution.

What I have also noticed is that suddenly tracks disappear from my playlist and only fade out where they were previously available to listen to. I've had this happen several times now.
