Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September

They have the human made ones, they have the “artist radio” function that plays songs similar to a band you like, they have a weekly top 30 based on stuff you’ve been listening to. The headline ‘albums of the week’ are based on what they like, which I don’t think is unfair - I’ve really enjoyed some of them.

I listen to a lot of metal and electronic, and I’ve always found the descriptions excellent - usually several paragraphs even for the most obscure of bands. Was well impressed that they had Lambrini Girls as one of their ‘albums of the week’, and their album at studio quality. Not that that’s essential for punk. Admittedly I don’t listen to a lot of indy, but they’ve always had what I’ve wanted to listen to.

My main complaint about the UX is that it’s nearly identical to Spotify, but I suppose there’s not much else you can do. Something particular about it that you dislike?

Tha is for the long reply.

Did not know the radio function existed. On mobile at least I can’t find it on the artists page? I have to go into the … Menu on a track in a playlist?

I listen to a lot of instrumental stuff while working, so I may be going too indy? Someone like soundcriters should should have something on their page?

I dislike that you have to go to a playlists page to play it in shuffle, you can’t do it from the playlists menu.

Double clicking should play a track but doesn’t.

At my PC now, where the radio option doesn’t seem to exist at all!?!

  Strange, it has the ‘autoplay more like this’ option on the web player (which does basically the same) but not the explicit ‘artist radio’ option. Huh.

    Ah, I turned off auto play because it would randomly start playing other music instead of continuing my massive playlist…

  “Go to Radio” on the app. Hmm…

    Yeh, found it in the android app (on tracks, not artists). Not there on desktop though.
    
    I can play the radio on the app to my desktop though… Guess that works. Not exactly great UX though.
