Spotify+AI sucks and is becoming a real plague

[Sal1950]

Well they are working on it.

Along with their Lossless streaming, 4 years now. LOL

Fixed.

I was aware that the French translation of "Artificial Intelligence" is Intelligence Artificielle.
And I did not know if you were using Frenglais intentionally!

Nope, just a typo

Was this intentional or a typo?
If the latter, can it be corrected?

I'm doing the same mistake in Romanian too, so it's a language related acronym mistake. We do say IA in our mother tongue language. Same happens with NATO and other acronyms too.

Bluos update today with Qobuz connect support!
Got qobuz family subscription plan and migrated Spotify playlists, pinned artists and albums to qobuz using soundiiz.
So far qobuz recommendations do not include any AI stuff.

I tried hard to use qobuz for few weeks.
Qobuz connect is very nice (and works really well) but....
- delays when manually changing tracks is way bigger than Spotify. At least 1 to 2 sec. While nearly instant with Spotify
- qobuz desktop app could better ( while android app is good )
- recommendation are not as good as Spotify (of course no historical data with qobuz while Spotify had years of my listening history)
-Searching for new content not as good as Spotify
- still missing some of my favourite tracks / albums available on Spotify
- people under my family plan are reluctant to witch to qobuz.

The truth is that Spotify, from feature, usability and discovery/recommendation standpoint , remains ahead other services.

I am ashamed of myself returning on Spotify

I think Spotify will still grow further now with the new mix app, ai-dj and their lossless music.

not to mention the i*e recruitment ads that have many upset. i have never used spotify and news like this ensures that i never will. they are destroying the ecosystem in which music is made, and for no reason that i can divine. of course, we are all old enough to have seen this coming and to have sophisticated musical ideas and a broader perspective, so ai gizmos like this i think will be less-likely to get us fired up. but all subsequent generations will be born into a world where you can hear "barbara streisand" "sing" harvester of sorrows by metallica if they want to, and they will not know the difference when zero human input was utilized in creating a record.

So, maybe instead of depending on databases and machines to suggest new options for us we do it as we did in “the old days” and we talk to friends or just try things out on our own. If we don’t decide to privilege relationships and exploration over convenience, we’ll all get stupid and indecisive

this is a good thought. in my experience, the algorithms are terrible at recommending music that i will like. for instance, i plugged a Trip Shakespeare track into Pandora and all it has been doing for a week is giving me other artists from Minneapolis! And algorithms tend to make very broad recommendations that are not for serious listeners. i think popularity is a huge part in how they make their decisions, not any inherent musical qualities.

Interesting. I don't use the weekly discovery feature, tho. Haven't noticed anything horrible in the daily mixes, which I'm more likely to use other than playlists/albums I've selected (main use of Spotify for me).
