At this point I am quite invested in the Spotify algorithm and am happy with its recommendations and discovery.

Does anyone have any interesting hacks / improvements to vanilla Spotify experience? Some must-have apps or such?

This one doesn’t seem to do anything in particular a Spotify app couldn’t do



I’m actually building an app to allow more precise control over the algorithm. https://tommygeiger.com/tuner Would love some feedback!


1) that was fun. The explanations next to each parameter are helpful to know what each slider modifies.

2) the way you advertise your app and ask for feedback is welcoming. It feels honest.


I just checked this out and it's fantastic, I wish this was exposed by default somewhere in Spotify, amazing app, thanks a ton for making this and sharing!!


I have been wishing for something like this. Turning popularity down is useful to hear new things.


Everynoise is hands down the best tool to figure out the really specific name for your music tastes and find more people like it.


What if my music tastes change moment to moment?


In that case I think Pandora still has the best recommendation engine.
