If you ever get tired of Discover Weekly give JQBX[1] a try. I built it so that I could bust out of the same old genres Spotify tends to re-suggest every week.

This is neat! It's cool how powerful Spotify's API is.

I built Amplitude [1], which uses Spotify's recommendations API to create artist based discovery playlists, if you need more new music than Discover Weekly provides and also Rediscover [2], to save your discover weekly playlists so you don't lose songs.

This looks great, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Spotify has been slowly driving me crazy with the same exact songs in my daily mixes day after day just reshuffling.

This is the big reason why I switched to Apple Music. Spotify has an amazing UI/UX, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't want to listen to the same stuff each week. I have FM radio for that.

Jason, this is amazing! Every few years I look for something that will be able to suggest new/different music to listen to, and the product gets killed.

Spotify used to have apps which had something like this (... I forget the name of the app), it's good to have a replacement.

I would happily pay $1 a month for this. Where is the $12 a year subscription?
