Search "just for you mix". There are a lot of playlists.

Calm Dogs Mix.

Dogs Calming Mix.

Dogs Pet Calming Mix.

I must have searched once for music to help my dog figure fireworks out, and now I am gifted with this kind of variety. (Dogs Classic Classical Mix, Dogs Classical Dinner Mix, Relaxing Dogs Mix, Dogs Calming Instrumental Mix, Soothing Dogs Mix, Dogs Guided Meditation Mix,...)

If you scroll slow enough, the page just keeps loading, so I don't think there is an end to the algorithm attempting to satisfy your every need... nor my dog's obviously very stressful life.

I leave soft classical music on for the dog when we're out which really skews my recommendations.

This is exactly why I got the family account so my wife can put her white noise and dog music on it without it destroying my recommended

I've got all the dog calming playlists saved in my library. A whole folder of just dog calming playlists. There's so many.

Whaaaat, thanks!!

Idk why this isnt on their front page of their App/Website.

Possibly because these non-curated, algorithm/thesaurus hit-list mixes aren't particularly good? It would train people to ignore them outright.

I've noticed the design of these auto mixes a couple months ago. They'll turn up in certain searches now a little more persistently.

Idk, mine are pretty decent for my tastes, but I do use Spotify a lot so it might help if you have a bigger sample to pull from.

Mine can be super random. Listen to a song 100 times and it won't pop up on any related mixes. My son listens to 13 different versions of the lego ninjago themesong once and I got 5 playlist mixes for the damn thing.

Mine are almost always an ouroboros, as Spotify just seems to take whatever playlists I already listen to and then sort them into common-denominator auto mixes, using the exact songs from those playlists.

The mixes are good for what the name of it is. What does goblin mix even mean? But listen to the goblin mix and you will be like hmm yup this is a goblin mix.

Unrelated but is anyone else's front page on the app now just a long list? It's really unintuitive yet I can't find other people complaining about it. Also seems like my daily mixes have completely reset and have nothing to do with my listening habits

fanklok t1_iu19zbw wrote

Yes, what the fuck is up with that. I can't even find my daily mixes anymore.

bakinjake t1_iu24l4u wrote

Click search and there should be a made for you button

HailToTheThief225 t1_iu57oop wrote

How were we supposed to find that lol. I have no idea why they don't just put it back on the front page.

I don't listen to any real downtrodden music though. And I know I didn't personally make it. I just scrolled through pages and pages.

They mean made by a different user

Salzberger t1_iu270dj wrote

Not "made for you". That's someone else's public playlist that your search terms were similar enough to.

these are hilarious. some highlights from mine: sad crying mix, tamil devotional mix, and something called a ‘discofox mix’

IgnobleGentleman t1_iu32dne wrote

Discofox is a dance popular in Germany, so maybe songs good for dancing to?
