In a note Monday, the Sweden-based company said it has “made the difficult but necessary decision to make a strategic realignment” within its podcast department, including merging Parcast and Gimlet Media studios into one.
See what the last.Spotify is laying off 200 employees from its podcasting unit, amounting to 2% of the audio streaming company’s global workforce.Browse the Playlist Exchange and Music Chat boards of the Spotify Community for threads of interest.Check the new posts on Facebook from the World of Psychedelic Music group and The Obelisk blog site, as well as for news of new releases by artists whom I follow on Facebook.Check out other Spotify users’ playlists that are listed on the “About -> Discovered On” sections for the profiles of artists whom I enjoy listening to.Check out the recommendations on the Home screen and on Browse -> Discover.While I don’t discover music at a particularly fast pace either, here are the ways by which I’ve typically found music on Spotify that is new to me and that I enjoy: When musicians have concerts check out who they bring on because usually they are solid too. The Wire Music Chat Room (Some really weirdo's in there though).Charts (Same thing as Spotify's Top 50).New Releases (Also contains songs that will be released in the future).Following (The Social Aspect of this is great.Play Your Recommendations (Music suggestions based on my Spotify).Popular (It's a top 50 type thing but it's only people who submit music).Spotify Recommendations (Bottom of playlist / find new songs).Charts (USA and other countries Top 50 and Top 50 Viral).Podcasts (My least used method but have found one or two that are ok).Genres & Moods (I will find a playlist and check out songs).Search Game (I will type a word or phrase and find a ton of hits).Popular/Latest Release (In the Artist's Profile).Fans Also Like (In Artist profile I click on this button to see other artists).Friend Activity (Sometimes find a song from someone on the friends list).Missed Hits (Always some good gems I missed).Family Mix (For those of you who have a family plan).Your Daily Mixes (I only play songs that I haven't heard before).New Releases (I go through every listed song like clockwork on Fri).I find it pretty convenient how the search results are distributed in Songs, Artists, Albums, Playlists, Podcasts and Profiles. The Search bar is always up there on my disposal when I think of something I want to listen to right now. I also find very useful the features suggesting new content I should try out (For fans of, Recommended radio, Based on your recent listening and More like) since they offer some variety in choice.Īnd of course, the good old traditional way - just go as you feel it. As of today, I still use the radio as a first resort way to get some music shuffled every time I'm online.Īs I'm a big fan of any kind of app versions suitable for a web browser I use the Spotify web player on a daily basis. I'm still amazed by the possibility to start a radio station based on any Spotify item (artist, album, song, playlist). Spotify makes it even easier - you can narrow down the kind of music you want to discover by defining the genre of the radio station. But the radio has always been a great way to find new music randomly. The transition from analog radio stations to Internet ones was so smooth I couldn't even notice. I was born in times when radio was still a thing and I was using this technology until some late teenage years of mine. I never got used to Discover Weekly or the Release Radar, so here's what I do to find new music on Spotify: However, with time I noticed I tend to use certain features when looking for new discoveries or just for some sounds for the moment. Let's say your next search and your previous ones are never alike. There's no universal way of finding new music, considering every time you search you're looking for something specific. Since I started using Spotify this question has appeared to me many times and I'm glad it comes up in the Community as well. Your Favorite Ways to Discover New Music?.
