LOVE Spotify right now. Spotify Discover Weekly has become a Monday morning ritual. Release Radar takes the same approach, curating a new playlist every Friday. So smart to build these experiences around appointments to create a weekly habit. 💕
Here's a screenshot of my Release Radar this week:
@hfauq@rrhoover I don't know how it's built but I have the exact same playlist than Ryan when I click on his link.
Which is pretty weird cause I think it should be a unique playlist generated by Spotify for me.
Am I wrong?
@pierrickgt: Not the /user/ tag in the URL. You're checking his personal playlist. If you want yours: go to Browse, then you'll find the Release Radar there. Hit Follow & done!
@hfauq: Seems like Discover Weekly. I have artists in my playlist that I don't follow... although I think this is more weighted towards followed artists than Discover Weekly.
@basgras well to me, it looks like Spotify is the user.
Since the url is /user/spotify/playlist.
For example if you want to access my weekly playlist, you need to use this link:
http://open.spotify.com/user/spo...
So it's the encrypted part at the end that is the actual playlist.
@pierrickgt@hfauq@rrhoover mine looks completely different. i'm guessing it works similar to discover weekly, but combined with their artist follow functionality
I made an IFTTT recipe that automatically copies your Release Radar playlists, so you don't lose them when they get overwritten: https://ifttt.com/recipes/450465...
@basgras awesome. I used to save my discover weekly's, but after about 17 weeks I had to stop. There's always next week, and a shortage of music to discover is not on my list of problems anymore. Not at all criticizing and thanks for sharing.
Discover Weekly doesnt always nail it for me, but sometimes its absolute 🔥 - every week I usually get at least one gem
My first Release Radar I got one gem but not keen on the rest.
But as music discover is my worst skill ever, I like what Spotify does to help me out 😃
So, "up to 2 hours of released you might've missed". Great, but I really want an overview of all releases of artist I love. So, I use swarm.fm: http://app.swarm.fm/#/releases/l...
@basgras I only see 1 thing in there from 17 days ago. I follow tons of artists.
Also, just found out the new playlist has artists I don't even know, so Discover Weekly the 2nd.
Hmm, mine has a track in there that's not available in my territory. Still some tweaking to be done, but cool! Think this can be really valuable to artists and labels, incl. indies.
I was getting pretty grumpy that Spotify had removed the notifications icon which popped up new releases by my favourite artists....now I understand why, it's all good, it's more than good in fact. If Release Radar is anything as good as Discover Weekly, this is going to be great. Already some gems picked up from my faves.
Finally! Looks awesome. Only thing I'm a little worried about is the presence of remixes on my playlist. I don't really care about a random DJs remix of a song I like.
