[Mobile] Option to customize Your Daily Drive

Just got a playlist called "Your Daily Drive". So far, it's great because it mixes in news-like podcast snippets inbetween suggested songs.

 

However, it'd be great to mark a podcast as 'do not play again' or 'dislike' so it doesn't show up or similar podcasts don't appear. 

 

It would also like to love/like songs that appear, as well as the ability to complete skip a podcast if its something I'm less interested in. Podcast runs similar to normal podcast, but I feel that this is a different experience (and a catered one), we should have more freedom to skip/like/love/dislike to make this experience improve over time.

 

Thank you!

Maybe a solution for all the Kids-Content in my playlists is the option to exclude a certain type of "music" to disappear in playlists? 

My Daily Drive is unusable now, because of the amount of Paw Patrol that appears in it. And the ignore feature just doesn't work (1. because it plays songs that are "ignored" and 2. because there are 12 tracks in one Paw patrol album and another track appears the next day)

The music that populates in my daily drive is from April of 2020 and has not updated since which is rather disheartening. Its made me not want to listen to some of my favorite songs and albums because it's all the playlist ever plays for me- regardless of the fact I've been clearing offline cache, not using Private Sessions, and uninstalling and reinstalling both the desktop and Android app. I even tried listening to some random, obscure stuff for hours and hours and the playlists still don't update. Major bummer to hear the same 28 songs on repeat every morning. Would love a fix to this issue and would particularly love for it to function properly on Desktop as I've been working from home on account of the pandi.

a simple refresh option might be useful. i see the exact same songs in the list for weeks now. not exactly a daily drive, is it?

SOS. My favorite songs are being destroyed by this playlist. Please find a way to have updated music every few days, or ideally every day. It’s such a great idea and I just want it to live up to its potential!

So, so, so agree. The reason for Your Daily Drive should be ease of access to several podcasts 6 and to music without having to fumble with your phone, which is especially handy when you're driving. Why do I get a 'curated' experience when I can't curate it? Haha lately skipped Daily Drive because it is just easier to choose things manually, but also a more annoying.

I would be fantastic to listen to “Daily Drive” regardless what my country settings are. 

Example: It’s not available in Finland and I would like to listen to the German version, but I cannot because my current address and credit card details are from Finland.

i agree. customized it!

This idea should be for Daily Drive on all platforms, including Desktop.  It isn't just a Mobile issue

I was going to make a post about this, as it's a great suggestion, and it seems someone has already beaten me to it; almost 2 years ago, yet it's still an issue? Heh.

 

It'd be nice to customise not only what podcasts you'd like or dislike to hear (sick of Sports pod casts, I'm not a sport person) - but also disable shuffle by default, as this messes up my listening experiance, or at least show the shuffle button. I have to play a different playlist to unshuffle, then go back to the daily drive so it unshuffles. Such a joke for a simple thing.

I would like to be able to treat podcasts like regular music tracks. I should be able to go to the "artist" and select "don't play this artist" and additionally I should be able to "hide" podcasts I don't like in a playlist. Right now they're treated as special entities that take up space and even appear in playlists but there's nothing I can do with them. I can't register my disapproval or remove content I don't like/want. They should be treated exactly like music tracks.
