What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over? (lemmy.world)

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

Turn off Automix in your settings and the Playlist work much better

Automix doesn't do what you're saying it does, it is only an advanced version of crossfading the end of one song and the start of another.

No, it isn't crossfade. It adds random music to your Playlist. I found this fix on Reddit the other day and it made a big difference, I'm now hearing songs on my liked song Playlist that I've not heard in a long time.

That isn’t automix, that’s smart shuffle.

Automix is only enabled on a few playlists, and not Liked songs.

If you’ve ever listened to a dance album where one song merges seamlessly into the next, automix does that. When you hear a playlist using automix it is very noticeable.
