They\u2019re actually pretty useful if you ask me \u2013 you just need to know where to look.<\/p>\n<p>For as long as I\u2019ve been subscribed to Spotify, I\u2019ve been force-fed its \u2018Made for you\u2019 playlists which \u2013 despite being designed to find new artists similar to ones on your radar \u2013 are incredibly repetitive. This is what sparked my hunt for specialist playlists I could actually rely on.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-solid border-y border-neutral-300\">\n<span class=\"font-article-heading block pb-3 !text-base font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333]\"><br \/>\nYou may like<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"1f153fa7-0671-4218-9363-862f13aed558\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2000px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JcacssECFpHJbJMTXrzbjN-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"854a2395-bbf9-49d9-9654-a59dfcbdd3ea\">The first one that stood out to me is the All New, All Now playlist, a hotspot for the latest music releases of the past few weeks.

This is when I revisited custom art covers, and it\u2019s done a solid job at summarizing the sound of my playlists \u2013 though I still need Spotify to fix its image and sticker limitations if it wants me to stick around.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-you-might-also-like\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-you-might-also-like\"><span>You might also like <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.techradar.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a while, I\u2019ve been using the same Spotify tricks to help boost my playlists and taste profile, including browsing its New Music Friday playlist to consulting my Daylist.
