Reply to comment by Purple_Passion000 in Knowing we like a song takes only seconds of listening, new psychology research finds by thebelsnickle1991

When I'm trying to find new music on Spotify I click 10-15 seconds into a song, listen for a couple seconds, and then skip to the halfway point and listen for a couple seconds. I can usually tell from that whether I'll like a song. Some songs stand out to me as bad on first listen. A lot of those I will add to my liked songs and listen to again later. I often end up enjoying those. It's the songs that provoke no reaction in me that I can safely ignore.

doesn't always work for me. i have to be in the mood for the music. when i wanna listen to something epic or something with lotsa bass and spotify recommends rock or metal because that's what i was listening to before, i can't appreciate it. i might have to listen to the same songs a couple days later and then i might like them

I used to do that when digging for records to DJ with, house and techno. Out of 300+ records there's maybe 10 to 20 I'd part with, the rest I still like.
