[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!

Hello, 

I'm using the Daily Drive almost everyday since it alternates podcasts/news and music I like (hearted) with also some new related records to discover, which is a pretty neat feature!

 

However the podcasts present are chosen by some algorithm which is not clear and it appears quite "stiff". I understand that it place podcasts that upload daily, but I think there should be some sort of priority list that you can select manually.

 

Example I can choose 10-15 podcasts of the ones I'm following (or not it doesn't really matter), some upload daily, some weekly, some whenever. I assign priority level so if the podcast that rarely uploads do so, it will be present in the daily drive rather than the usual daily ones.

 

Also I would like to choose the ratio of podcasts and music in the mix but that's not bothering me so much.

 

I think that the solution for this should be enabling putting podcasts (not podcasts episodes) into playlist, in order to keep the structure of the daily drive as functional as it is right now, and letting user customize their experience as they would like.

 

Thank you, hope to receive some feedbacks on this!

Great idea and like the mix of news and music but literally the same songs over and over and over and over and over and over again…started unliking these tracks to try to change the songs.
