Qobuz’s daily/weekly automated playlists aren’t great. The radio stations feature is pretty good now though.

They’ve been working on their For You tab and it’s getting better.

Their curated ones are a nice way to discover more music too.

    FY was what I was most interested in, but again it didn't seem to grab my play history, only the songs I had played. For like 18 years. And there was no weight between them so something I listened to once in high school had the same chance of trying to pull me in a direction/genre as a song I have 5k plays of. And everything, everything was favorited. That might have been the import systems fault, but they are partnered with them so...

    Yeah, it’s not the best.

    I listened to some Spanish songs and got Mexican or Tejano music for over a month after. Same with listening to K-pop — so much K-pop!

    They’ve got work to do for sure, but in the last year they’ve released a lot to try and improve.

    Maybe I sympathize though, as I work in a small tech company now and I don’t get nearly the time I want to build out our algorithms.

    I would still say try out the Radio feature, it works well. And of course I’m in favour of supporting a more independent tech company outside the US.
