Finding new music!!

[Chuckles08]

I LOVE my spotify and listen to it every day BUT I am struggling to find different music to listen to..... all the playlists that are found are 'shuffles' of music I have already listened too! I can't seem to find other playlists to expand my listening and it is REALLY frustrating me! 

Starting to think I use it too much and I have outgrown it 😞

I would LOVE some help!
Genres I am interested in:

Folk

Pop

Blues

Acoustic

Country

light rock

Hey @Chuckles08,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community.

Keep in mind that the music recommendations are based on your listening habits (what you like, share, save, skip). In this case, it's expected for the app to suggest similar songs to the ones you usually listen to. If you'd like to discover new music, you can use the Radio feature or head to Search and choose a category where you'll find a lot of playlists made by Spotify, which you might like 🙂

You've mentioned the genres you're interested in, so type one of them in Search bar and play one of the playlist (eg. Country gold) Screenshot for visibility below: 

You can check out the Picked just for You playlists if you're looking for new recommendations on Spotify as well. You can access them by typing "picked for you" in the Search bar and filtering out the results so that only Playlists would appear.

For personalized playlists such as Daily Mix and Discover Weekly, you can improve the suggestions by liking and disliking songs. By following these suggestions, the app will adjust your recommendations and you should start seeing new suggestions in the coming weeks.

Lastly, it's also a good idea to expand your music library following some new artists/ playlists. That way you'll give the algorithm a boost, however, it might take a couple of weeks for the changes to apply.

More helpful info about our playlists can be found in this article.       

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

Please stop suggesting oldies and remixes of oldies I never liked them and I dont know what I did wrong even though I am Disliking almost all suggestions for months its still full of it. Please make it stop! Prior to that I loved the suggestion of the weekly Mix.

Is there a way to remove a song from a Spotify prepared playlist. I don't always like every song on the list

How does the Spotify app algorithm work for discovering new music?
