I'd like one that on random and uses each song as an experiment to determine your mood. If you listen through that's positive, instantly skip? That's a negative signal. Just adapt on the fly at the beginning of each listing session.

Based on your comment, I would love to see a feature just as we have a prompt travel in image generations, how about genre travel? A playlist of 10 songs taking me from rock to french house.

Wasn't this how Pandora worked?
"The user can use thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to declare whether they like a track or not, which determines whether similar songs should be played in the station.[40] A second thumbs down to the same artist will ban that artist from the selected station.[41] A thumbs down immediately skips a song, but the number of times a user can skip tracks is limited unless they are using one of the paid subscription plans, or opts to watch a video ad.[42][43] More than 450 musical attributes are considered when selecting the next song.[44] These 450 attributes are combined into larger groups called focus traits, of which there are 2,000.[45] Examples of these are rhythm syncopation, key tonality, and vocal harmonies.[45]"

I've never used Pandora before so I had no idea. Do they have a patent on the concept or something? It seems like such an obvious idea and yet the best Spotify can do is prepare a playlist based on taste rather than adapt on the fly.
