![]() The last saving grace of Spotify Blend is it solves the issue of figuring out how to answer someone when they ask you what music you like. Even if I wasn’t really all that into “ Montero Call Me By Your Name” anymore, it would find a home within my blends, public to everyone. In my experience, if I stream a certain song often, even if only for a month or two, it would appear on the playlist. Another person replied and griped that no matter what they did, the blend would put “Where Them Girls At” by David Guetta onto the playlist. This is ideal for people who have similar music tastes or are open to discovering new music they may not have been originally into. ![]() One person commented on the blend’s ability to seamlessly create the perfect aux where both parties will enjoy, and know, the songs from the playlist. When I asked people about their experiences with the new Spotify function, people shared their good (and bad) experiences. Spotify blends always end up deteriorating into a beautiful disaster at some point, but that is the charm of it all. Spotify Blend syncs all of your data, which means even the music you listen to while in a private session, or the music you listen to only when you study (i.e: anime epic battle themes ) will be exposed to your friends and are no longer a secret to be kept to yourself. Spotify Blend is also the reason why all my friends now know I sometimes shamelessly listen to “‘One Piece: Epic Battle Theme.’” It is a great function, allowing one to see the songs your friends like, as well as be turned on to new tracks you might like as well. It has a song compatibility reading system, ranging from 0 to 100%, as well as revealing to you both the song that “brings you together.” It also updates daily, so it is always caught up on what one is streaming. It syncs your music taste with whoever you send the Spotify blend link to and generates a playlist with similar songs you each would like. For a lot of people, songs you looped a couple months ago are not songs you want to listen to right now.Spotify Blend is the newest feature on Spotify. Basically the use case that seems most compelling to me (especially since it’s a playlist, meant to be played) is a playlist friends keep coming back to when they’re hanging out together or when they want to listen to stuff both of them are enjoying right now. However, how they’re currently implemented, they basically become useless after the first couple listens, because they seem to heavily weigh on top listens from long ago and don’t update to our recent listening. I’ve been looking for discussion/idea submissions about this and it’s been on mind for so long, glad I’m not alone!! 100% feel this, blends as an idea are great because they’re a low effort way to make a playlist with multiple friend’s music. That way I can actually keep up to date with the music my friends listen to. Spotify needs to make it so it adds songs that are popular to the listener at the time, and as the listener finds new music, the playlist goes out with the old and in with the new. if I wanted to listen to songs that my friends have heard (and this includes one time, possibly from a radio playlist, that they don't even remember hearing), I would just listen to my own radio playlists. Why the way Spotify made it isn't good: I would LOVE to listen to music that my friends listen to, and keep up with what they like. ![]() What I thought it did: Takes songs you listen to currently, and often, and adds them to the playlist. It does the same for everyone in the playlist, takes songs they have heard, and tracks like the songs they heard, and adds it to the playlist. ![]() What it is: Spotify takes songs you have listened to, finds other songs like the songs you've listened to, and adds them to the playlist. I'll include below what it really is, what I want it to be, and why it's not good. ![]() After using it for a week, I quickly realized this is not at all what I thought it was. I also read, the playlist updates DAILY, so I was really hyped for this considering it doesn't take any work to keep live. Upon discovering blends, I invited a ton of friends and made multiple playlists to see what kind of music they listen to. ![]()
