I've stopped using their recommendations (except in my car) for other reason: I no longer knew the albums. It used to be you would get new album from X, you would listen to it couple of times, learn the song titles and think "this new album is awesome/shit/better then the last one". With Spotify it was just constant stream of songs from the sam e artist without any idea of their artistic progression. I missed that part so now I just listen to whole albums and custom playlists.
Ah. See, I never grew out of album listening. I fought mp3 players for so long I probably nearly killed an extra 15 people in my life flipping through my massive CD book as I drove probably too fast down the road when I was 16.
Thinking about it, I’ve probably missed a lot of songs I would’ve loved that way, because when a new album comes out and it can’t grab me in the first few songs, I don’t go back and listen until I sometimes give them another shot.
