Same for me, I got tired of the same artists being played over and over. I’ve switched to Deezer who does a much better job. I will probably switch to Qobuz soon.

I tried Tidal, and now I’m on Pandora. The ‘radio’ feature of Pandora more closely matches the way I want to listen to music (I feel like playing this, stay in this mood, but vary the artists), but I’m disappointed by the android app. I should also try Qobuz, maybe even Deezer, but the real pain point is that I have literally thousands of playlists on Spotify. I can pay TuneMyMusic again, I guess

I had no trouble transferring my playlists to Deezer, but I only had dozens of them.

What issues are you having with the mobile app?
_g_be@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They’re not issues so much as nit-picks.
On the now playing screen, I try to swipe the album image to skip (like Spotify) but it doesn’t. Yes, the skip button is right there, but when driving it’s needlessly distracting to have to find the small button.
There’s no obvious way to see your play history when it’s on auto play or radio.
You can start a station from a single song, and you can add song variety to a single-song station, and you can let a playlist end and it will autoplay songs, but you can’t create a station from a playlist directly. These seem like the same function but are treated differently.
You can ‘collect’ or ‘👍’ a song from radio/autoplay, and it’s implied that it influences the station to do the latter, but all the 👍 songs go to their own playlist and sometimes a ‘songs you liked from this station’ playlist separate from the station and sometimes in the station page. It can unintuitive.
There’s no API so there’s no way for TuneMyMusic to import my playlists from Spotify.
Adding a song to a playlist often fails the first time, I can mash it but it doesn’t go, but if I back out and add it again it works.
Some of these can be chalked up to user error, I haven’t gotten used to the paradigm change, but the app still feels rigid and “less polished”. Like I said, nitpicks.

You can import your liked songs fyi but yeah I didn’t see anything about playlists or liked artists
