It could be better.
For starters, 50 songs in a playlist is not a lot.
The second issue is that there’s a lot of overlap between mixes.

Your Daily Mixes contain your favorite genres and artists, but so do all the other mix types.
Maybe I want to listen to my favorite artists one day but look for new tunes the other.
The feature did exactly what it says on the tincreate a similar playlist based on your existing one.
Think of it as an on-demand version of Daily Mix.
Smart Shuffleessentially replaced Create Similar Playlist.
It should also work on any playlist.
I want to spin off new playlists based on my Spotify Mixes and my friends' playlists.
Lossless Audio
Lossless audio formatslike FLAC and ALAC provide better sound quality over traditional MP3.
Lossless audio has long been available on rival streaming platforms like Apple Music and Tidal.
Spotify has been talking about lossless audio streaming since 2021, but it’s still not here.
Hidden songs won’t play in that specific playlist, but they’ll still appear on other playlists.
Also, you could’t hide songs from any playlist, and it doesn’t work on albums, either.
You have to roll out the Trash Bin extension throughSpicetify, which is an excellent Spotify tool.
It automatically skips songs you put in the trash.
You could have mini-conversations with other fans of a song or artist without having to hop onto another platform.
Custom Themes, With Complete Redesigns
Spotify is one of the most boring-looking apps in the industry.
It’s in permanent dark mode, so you better get used to green and white on black.
Spotify Premium should add themes featuring complete overhauls, cool visualizers, and creative interfaces.
If songs had custom tags that describe them, we could create awesome custom playlists.
Not to mention, a tag system would integrate perfectly with Spotify Mixes and Create Similar Playlists.
Or an all-instrumental 1980s thrash metal playlist.
The possibilities that a tagging system would unlock are endless, and I’d gladly pay for it.
The way things are now,Spotify Premium is not worth upgrading to.
Third-party tools like Spicetify add more functionality to Spotify than Premium for free.
