Only Play New Songs / Limit Song Play Count / Discover Radio

[harvest316]

I love discovering new music, and I hate listening to the same song more than three times.  And considering the vast wealth of songs on Spotify, I shouldn't need to.

• Discover Weekly plays the same songs all week, and crosses all the genres I listen to, which leads to quite a disjointed listening experience.
• The Daily Mixes tend to rehash the same songs I've been listening to, and stay the same all day.
• The Radio feature is coming really close, but does also tend to throw in songs from the underlying playlist.

Ideally, I need a Discover Radio that plays only new songs around a starting playlist, or a setting to limit the number of times a song can be played.  And by new, I dont mean new releases, just songs I haven't heard before.

Thanks for considering this new feature.

If you'd like to see a 'Discover radio' tab in Your Library based on a starting playlist and displaying only songs you haven't heard before, feel free to suggest this as an Idea. To do so:

1. Go to the Spotify Community
2. Click on Menu
3. Click on Ideas > Idea submissions
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click on “Let’s go”

As a heads-up, it's good to know that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for the idea to be implemented 🙂

This is such a nice feature I've been searching for a long time. You'd think Spotify already has such a feature, I believe it's a basic. It'd really help to not listen to music I've already heard (Especially even already in my liked songs) when trying to discover new music.
