My Question or Issue

I have three Blend playlists, two of which are updating regularly and one which updated today after a gap of 5 days or more. Is there any way I can get this particular Blend playlist to update daily again? Also, the songs don't change much although our listening patterns change a lot.

Hi there @Shreyasi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

If you create a new playlist, do you get the same behavior?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Cheers!

Hi Jeremy,

Out of the three playlists I have, one got updated 8 hours ago, the other one got updated 5 hours ago, and the playlist with the issue got updated 5 minutes ago. (It was showing "1 day ago" when I started to write this reply.) So yeah, I think the functionality is a bit erratic. Also, even after the update, the songs don't change much in any of the playlists. I haven't created any other Blend playlists.

Thanks for your time!

Hi there. I too have a blend that has not updated .. its just the same tracks again each update but in different order and I know that myself and my blend buddy have been listening to different music than what is on there

Hey there @1152573145,

Thanks for reaching out on the community!

Please note that when Blends are being created they use a pool of songs formed from the listening preferences you both have at this moment in time. The updates of your Blend playlists are slower in time and are dependent on both your listening activities. This means you both need to be actively exploring and listening to actual new music (not your current Blend or music in your Daily Mixes) for a while in order for your Blend to reflect this and update itself with fresh new content. You can speed up this learning process of the app, by liking and following new songs and artists to your profiles and so the results should be notable in a couple of weeks time.

Also as @Jeremy suggested above, you could try and create a new Blend playlist and see if it behaves as expected. 

Hope you find this useful. Keep us posted if you have any questions.

Hi! I’ve been experiencing the same problem where all three of my blend playlists do not seem to be updating daily as stipulated. It hasn’t changed since the time we first made the blend. However, when I asked my friends, it appears to be updating for them. Is there any way to fix that?

Hey there @thunderdae, 

Thanks for getting in touch about this. 

First up, we'd recommend logging out and then logging back in two times in a row on your device. It sounds a bit odd, but it forces a sync between the account and your device. 

If this doesn't do the trick, would you mind checking if the playlist updates when you log in to your account on a different device?

Keep us posted.

None of my blends have updated in four days. All of my devices and desktop show the same list for the last four days .

I have encountered the same problem.

Hi there,

I only have two blend playlists and they have not updated since 5 days ago. Please help!

Hey folks,

Thanks for posting here. 

Are there any changes when you restart your devices and then try logging out and then logging back in two times in a row?

Just to double-check-does the same thing happen when you create a new playlist?

Keep us posted.

It didn't for me

Hey @Arthug,

Thanks for the post.

Can you let us know what other troubleshooting you've ran through so far?

Looking forward to your reply.

Clearly nothing's been done to fix this—I've got one Blend mix that hasn't updated in weeks despite the fact that my friend & I listen to different artists on a daily basis. I'm not inclined to use this feature with other friends—what's the point?

[Jeremy]

Hi there @11124171064,

Thank you for your reply in this thread. 

Can you let us know if you done all of the troubleshooting steps that's been provided in this thread. This way we'd be able to help you without asking you to repeat something that you might already done.

We'll be on the lookout for your reply 🙂

Take care!

Same problem as everyone else.  Blend doesn't update.  I've logged out and logged back in five times (both on Chrome and on the Windows Spotify App), rebooted multiple times.  This was supposed to update every day and has NEVER updated after the second person joined my blend (it never updated after the first person joined UNTIL the 3rd person joined).  Terrible!
