the problem with these algorithms is they get stuck in a loop and it keeps recommending the same type of music to you or keeping you in a bubble. Related songs to a song are different for each user so it ends up showing you more of the same (you can test this yourself, make another spotify account and check, this also applies to top songs from an artist and even spotify official playlists). At least I notice this problem with youtube music recommendations, maybe spotify is better with regards to this (I don't use spotify that much) but I still don't like it. Another problem besides getting stuck in a bubble and accidentally reinforcing certain cultures of music over others is that algorithms can be intentionally manipulated to devalue certain types of music/content and users won't notice. This gives a few tech company executives the power to shape public opinion, even to the point of changing results of elections for example, by subtly shifting what content is valued or devalued. (this also affects what content is created in the first place as creators make content that gets more views or money). This is more clearly a problem for writing/language content recommendations like twitter or tiktok style apps, but I think it could apply to music too, music is also speech and can also show people and/or normalize certain ideas.
I left Spotify when they drastically changed their UI around 2017-18, then tried out apple music but the Spotify algorithm is so hard to compete with that I went back after a couple of years. They know when you like different kinds of music and algorithm is aware of your interest in new up and coming artists and it's easy for you to basically keep the algorithm learning from you. I suggest trying it out a bit more

I switched to Apple Music a few years back when that’s all you could stream on the Apple Watch, but I still find myself going back to Spotify occasionally for its better selection of indie artists (I’m talking like Tumblr. DIY musicians that no one else has outside rough UA-cam uploads) which is odd considering Apple Music advertises over 100 million songs whereas Spotify boasts 80 million making you think the larger quantity would have the greatest selection for you, but that’s not always true. Although I will say both Apple Music and Tidal do offer high bitrates for streaming than Spotify currently does which is nice for those that have solid speaker systems at home. Klipsch reference series and the newer Sonos Arc sound bar with rear channels I feel sounds better with select albums than Spotify.
I personally like Spotifys algorithm. It’s recommended so many good songs to me over the years. I’m sure it can be better, however it’s the best out there imo
As seems to be the experience of many commentors here, algorithms/recommendations are becoming an increasingly crucial element of differentiation between Spotify & its competitors (Apple Music, UA-cam Music, Amazon Music etc). Music streaming is a unique industry in that all the players have virtually all the music content available (unlike movie streaming like Netflix where they won't have all of the world's movies), and everyone is priced the same ($10.99/month in the US). This may be how Spotify can differentiate from the crowd, though only time will tell if its enough to help drive profitability in the future. I made a video on Spotify's persistent lack of profits and how they compare vs the other streaming platforms, may be interesting to you.
0:01: 🎧 Spotify, the world's largest music streaming service, uses AI and collaborative filtering to personalize user experiences on the platform. 3:00: 🎵 Spotify's algorithm uses content-based filtering to make recommendations, but it has potential biases and limitations. 6:03: 🎧 Spotify's algorithm is not optimized for providing additional context about music, unlike Apple Music's new app. Recap by Tammy AI
I am from Chile, but Spotify assumes that we hear Mexican and Puerto Rican music here. This is like treating Canada and New Zealand as two provinces of the same country just because in both places people speak English.
When you upload a video, it's first only available at the lowest resolution. The higher resolutions get encoded in the background and are normally available within 30 minutes of uploading a video.
Often, people get in my car with me and at some point they'll say "Ohh, I love this song! I've forgotten all about this song!" Then I answer back with something like, "That's why I still pay for SiriusXM. Even though I have Spotify Premium, you get stuck in loops on Spotify where you do hear the same songs over and over. With satellite radio, it's not trying to guess what I'll like so the variety is much wider."
Spotify is the best except for their lack of hifi quality option. Us audiophiles who want to hear all that a artist and producer out in to a track miss out and with Tidal or Apple Music for example offering it, it's a shame Spotify doesn't want to.
The largest area Spotify lags is in classical music (which admittedly probably the majority of listeners aren’t impacted by) but Apple Music’s new ‘Classical’ app is insanely good in this respect and is actually “Primephonic” which Apple bought out, and rebranded as its own if anyone remembers that from last decade. It’s able to filter and categorize even better than ‘IDAGIO’ with insanely rich ‘Dolby Atmos’ recordings. 5-star experience all the way 👍
There is a personalized DJ AI out there?! That sound awesome! I look forward to when it matures enough that I can give it input (via speech or text) to tell it what mood of music I want to listen to at any one time. Also, it would be cool if an AI can do remixes for me on the fly. A while back, I found that someone mixed Mozart with 'Like a Hurricane' and it is one of the best things I've heard.
I use Apple Music because of its unparalleled music quality, but I miss Pandora’s recommendations. Discovered so many of now my favorite bands, back in the day.
This had so much potential! Interesting topic and high production value. But it didn’t really get into exactly how it worked, and instead spent 50% of the time talking about an odd bias story that isn’t really a huge concern in playlisting songs
Exactly. IKR? I already know how the algorithm works but when I found this video, I was expecting them to give us really useful Info. But turns out 80% of this video was clickbait. Now let me share some of my knowledge The algorithm will study your user habits (it will study the type of music you listen to, the artists you follow e.t.c). Once the algorithm has gotten sufficient data from you, it will now look for other Spotify users that have similar music taste to you. Any song they listen to, the algorithm recommends to you. It's as simple as that really. I really wasted my time watching this video lol
Spotify is mostly funded by the big music labels. Meaning they can push big and new artist THEY SIGNED ON. Those music labels literally pay Spotify to show these artist as ‘trending’ wether they may be or not. Tough luck to independent artist as they can’t pay to trend. So whatever ‘AI algorithm’ Spotify is claiming to use is pretty bs
If Spotify uses AI to suggest music we have no need to worry about the supremacy of AI intellect any time soon. I’ve been using Spotify for almost 10 years and it still can’t figure out what I like because my taste is varied and not defined by genres. Spotify was the first subscription I cancelled when I need extra money because I have not been able to discover much interesting new music over that platform.
Spotify algo barely works for me as I can listen to progressive metal in the morning, phonk at work and soft jazz in the evening sporadically injecting some hip hop into it. It just does not understand what I want and tries to recommend me either of those things. But my recommendations are always terrible... It works well for people who are in a bubble and it keeps them in a bubble. The algorithm is terrible for people who have diverse musical taste. Also algo arguably tries to prioritize tracks that pay more to spotify per listen which also messes things up.
This! I would drop Spotify in a hot second if something better came along simply because the shuffle feature is an absolute dud. When I hit shuffle I want to shuffle all my songs not what it thinks I want.

i use the AI DJ every single day and probably 50% of the time i listen to music its through the DJ. i love how it shows me stuff i love but also shows me very diverse types of music and i love it. best feature!
Is it on Spotify? or a different service? If it's on Spotify, may I ask how you use it? It sounds so cool but I am struggling finding the feature Thank youuu
I love the DJ. I've been using it since it was introduced and I found that I end up liking more songs from the DJ recommendation than other way on spotify. Yes, sometimes, it misses the mark but most often than not, I can vibe to it. From time to time you can tell its still in beta cuz it'll be like "and now we're gonna play an artist you used to listen to all the time back in the day" and I never heard of the artist. haha 2/3 times I ended up liking them tho and adding a few of their songs to my library.
I listen to Spotify and Pandora and I put my own music that I listen to which is old time music from way back I don't listen to today's music very good info WSJ
As far as I can tell Spotify's algorithm functions to bring me the songs and artists I already listened to. Take a cue from Amazon's "recommended if you like" function from 20 years ago. That worked much better.
doesn't UA-cam technically have a bigger dataset? this is even more true for obscure songs by new artists, since UA-cam tends to recommend new stuff as well, whereas Spotify recommends things others are listening to a lot.
Streaming still doesn't cater to my need of having a centralised place where I have popular releases along with obscure bonus tracks or demos. I want play count tracking that is accurate as well, so I really don't like using different ways to consume music all that much.
I highly doubt its true but if spotify are only now looking at implementing a reccomender system to provide users with song reccomendations I would be shocked. Literally one of the most commonly used algorithms in ML
I don't like Spotify because after they take their cut of my subscription fee, the remaining should be split between the artists I listen to and no others. This is important because, if, for example, I only enjoy traditional black Christian gospel music (eg Kirk Franklin), I don't really want to financially support people who overtly worship Lucifer. Or if I don't want to support a major gospel artist one month, the money, after the Spotify cut, should be given to the small startup artist I wanted to support. Patrick Riddick might have 1000 loyal fans who play his music. If we pay $10 monthly and Spotify takes 30%, a small gospel artist like Patrick Riddick should walk away with $7 x 1,000 loyal fans that month. Instead, the bulk of that $7 is maldistributed to people like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Drake. The system is not only unfair to the artist, but it presents a moral conflict for conservative users. 😢
Maybe they should make it clear that if you listen to podcasts then your main screen will be only podcasts. They separated the feeds, which was good, but then they turned my music feed into TikTok. How tf am I supposed to find new artists
Whatever they have done recently is not working. My "radio" is now the same songs over and over. I got SXM again because of it. I did enjoy the AI dj for a while however.
The utilization of algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) in Spotify's platform is undeniably impressive. However, despite its advanced technological features, some experts have identified certain biases that are present within the system. It is my sincere hope that Spotify will continue to address and rectify these issues, ensuring that their platform remains accessible and equitable for all users.
Most of the recommendations from Spotify are not good for me. UA-cam usually recommends better artists for me. I guess cause most of the artists I listen to are small or not big in the west. UA-cam also has more data points, like how most touhou circles are not on Spotify
They have some of the best recommendation algorithms in the market. It is based association rule and it works like magic. Apple Music is far behind Spotify
How long have you used it?? Cuz the algorithm is literally the best out there. I've found songs I never knew I would love. My current favorite songs were all discovered thanks to the algorithm
While I really love spotify, the only thing over the years I have purposely avoided is listening to songs suggested by their algorithm. And it shall continue that way.
Spotify is an amazing platform for music, while its music suggestions are really really bad. 'Discover weekly' has never once amused me in the last 4 years.
The biggest problem with Spotify that it’s algorithms doesn’t understand who listening! For example you are traveling with your kids and play music for them. Next day your list is ready which is included Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and cocomelon, baby shark songs. The second thing is that for example you are listening Turkish songs and Spotify mixed them with incompatible songs which are American pop music. It mixes two different language and culture. If it capable to make a list abstaining from these problems would be great.
I received a 3-month free trial of Spotify and, to be honest, I find its algorithm to be quite poor. For instance, during sunset time, I typically prefer listening to more mellow and relaxing music, but Spotify keeps playing the same type of music every day. Similarly, when I wake up in the morning, I usually prefer something more upbeat and energizing, but the app fails to recognize this and offers me the same type of music again and again.
@@allencarnes2477 I disagree. I could guess that after 2 days. If similar music is being played 2 days in a row at a same time i would guess on the 3th day that or something similar to that based on the time of the day is what that person like to listen to. Look at the video. It says NOTHING about time of day algorithm!
@@omdawe I did watch the video. I also use the app which is why I’m saying over time it gets better recommending music based on what you’ve listened to.
We need more of these than the "briefing" videos

there aint gonna be much tranparency no matter how much you try to improve the algorithm if payola still exists
The robot hasn't figured me out yet 🥴
Wish they’d pay the artist what their streams are worth 5 cent per stream is sickening
the same happens with podcasts, of course, which is even more dangerous than the biased music implies
Most of the recommendations from Spotify are not good for me.
UA-cam usually recommends better artists for me. I guess cause most of the artists I listen to are small or not big in the west.
UA-cam also has more data points, like how most touhou circles are not on Spotify
Garmin and Coros seem to have the fitness space all locked up, well, the ones not controlled by Apple.
Polar and Sunto seem to be giving up
The VP sounds more AI than the AI DJ😂
They have some of the best recommendation algorithms in the market. It is based association rule and it works like magic. Apple Music is far behind Spotify
At a top 5 percent listener I have to admit the algorithm is terrible. I constantly skip tracks and am often sickened by suggested tracks
How long have you used it?? Cuz the algorithm is literally the best out there. I've found songs I never knew I would love. My current favorite songs were all discovered thanks to the algorithm
still i think suggestions by yt music are the best. You have to play just one song and here you go
But where is true Shuffle
I just run my playlists on offline mode, are the suggestions good now? It always plays me stuff I skip.
I've used Spotify for years and never used recommended playlists. I rely more playlists created by regular users with hand-picked songs.
Watching from India sir
While I really love spotify, the only thing over the years I have purposely avoided is listening to songs suggested by their algorithm. And it shall continue that way.
This video was expensive 😢😂
Spotify is an amazing platform for music, while its music suggestions are really really bad.
'Discover weekly' has never once amused me in the last 4 years.
The biggest problem with Spotify that it’s algorithms doesn’t understand who listening! For example you are traveling with your kids and play music for them. Next day your list is ready which is included Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and cocomelon, baby shark songs.
The second thing is that for example you are listening Turkish songs and Spotify mixed them with incompatible songs which are American pop music. It mixes two different language and culture. If it capable to make a list abstaining from these problems would be great.
Spotify is the one of the subscription that i use the most
Stop showing me podcasts at the top of car play. Have actual music at the top
They really need to fix those tracks that say an artist is involved in it, when in truth they have nothing to do with it.
What about UA-cam music it’s lit 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
📣📣📣NOT FORGET THE LOST ART OF JUST WALKING IN TO YOUR LOCALLY-OWNED RECORD STORE❗❗
購買意欲を高めるための広告に音楽要素が加わると、ノリの加速度の付き方が格段に違ってくる。
個人的に危険だと感じるので、タイプの違うBGMを複数用意しとく必要があり、You Tubeと併用しているが、選曲に違いが出にくくなる。
Spotifyは、もともとGoogleMailやMapの入力内容にあわせたBGM流すのが興味深かった。
Been waiting for this AI DJ in Europe, but still haven't got it
Thank you
Spotify algorithm is nothing to brag about, it’s terrible.
I received a 3-month free trial of Spotify and, to be honest, I find its algorithm to be quite poor. For instance, during sunset time, I typically prefer listening to more mellow and relaxing music, but Spotify keeps playing the same type of music every day. Similarly, when I wake up in the morning, I usually prefer something more upbeat and energizing, but the app fails to recognize this and offers me the same type of music again and again.
It’s one of those things that get better the longer you use it. In a 3 month span it doesn’t have a good sample size of your music taste.
@@allencarnes2477 I disagree. I could guess that after 2 days. If similar music is being played 2 days in a row at a same time i would guess on the 3th day that or something similar to that based on the time of the day is what that person like to listen to. Look at the video. It says NOTHING about time of day algorithm!
@@omdawe I did watch the video. I also use the app which is why I’m saying over time it gets better recommending music based on what you’ve listened to.
? what you mean?
of all the (custom) playlists it offers you, you can just pick the one you are looking for the current moment?
