Don't know what's wrong with yours, mine changes often

Same, Spotify gives me mood based playlists, genre, ones, specific artist mixes, and the song and artist radios change regularly.

and you can also “enhance” any playlist you’ve made and it’ll sprinkle in new songs throughout the playlist

The main thing I miss since moving from Pandora to Spotify is that Pandora allowed you to shuffle all of your stations meaning you could be listening to different music all day without having to intervene and change the station. Made music at work very nice. I don't like to stop what I'm doing to tell Spotify to play something else. I just wanna hear a variety of everything all day. If there's a way to make Spotify do this that I haven't figured out yet, please let me know!!

Well, I have over 3200 like songs from Jimmy Buffet to Tool and from Miles Davis to Billy Strings, so I can literally just play my own liked songs for a pretty much a whole month at work and never hear the same song twice. (unless I put it on shuffle 🙄).

I have also made playlists that last for 8 hours or more. Or I could queue up several shorter playlists at the start of the day, and they'd play throughout the day.

Playlist radios, enhancing playlists, Spotify playlists, radios based on a single song choice. If you're feeling adventurous look for playlists made by other listeners that would last all day.

My work days are too variable and filled with interruptions so I don't ever try to set and let something play. But on the weekends I'll select a playlist or a group of albums to play and just let it go all day.

For instance today I queued up a couple Trip-hop playlists along with a funk/soul mix and we just had that on in the background from noon until 9:00 PM with family and friends over. Only paused it when we were doing video calls with our grown kids who couldn't be here.

I hope this gave you a few ideas for how to listen to Spotify all day.

They suck, in my 2021 Year in Review my top listened to song was a song by a band neither of which I've ever chosen to play.

I miss Grooveshark's slider that let you choose Familiar - Explorative on their automatic playlisting. Honestly I think ANY algorithmically generated feed needs this (Insta, YT, Spotify, whatever) to prevent people getting sheltered into sameness who would prefer some variety.

Select song / artist you like > click start artist / song radio

Do the same thing a day later, the same music comes on…

Do the same thing a week later, the same music comes on…

Ya get the idea.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong? Maybe I’m too spoiled by the original Pandora project?
