I will say, I like the way these playlists don't pull from your existing preferences. This addresses one of my main issues with spofity- that it'll put you into a musical rut recommending mostly what you're already listening to. I have a pretty broad music taste, so this helps a ton.

I've made a handful of playlists since my prior comment(s) and they have a few songs I already knew, but had a good amount of fresh songs I hadn't heard that fit nicely. I've been making spotify playlists for years and this is a good jumping off point for a new one. Spits out a 3 hour playlist of a given vibe with some cool customization options.

New playlists I make might just go through groovifi and then be enhanced by spotify and curated by me. Very into the BPM option, next one will be a high bpm running playlist of obscure metal.

Thanks for the detailed comment! I also recommend playing with the Genre filter (in Other tab). When combining it with a non-related artists is gives out interesting results. And speaking of obscure metal - Do you know Orphaned Land?

I've been off metal for a while, can't say the name rings a bell. Euro, American, or somewhere else?

Middle Eastern Metal. I am not a metal fan usually but I really dig them.

That's neat. I'll give then a dig. If you haven't seen Bloodywood, they're Punjabi metal, and I think they're pretty cool.

I don’t get your complaint with Spotify recommended curated playlists, the whole point is to pull from your existing musical taste to curate a playlist you’d like. What would be its point if it just created random playlists? The discover weekly playlists are made of songs you don’t have saved/listen to.

Right, but that's not always the playlist I want. I make new playlists to explore new genres, and spotify doesn't handle that well. I don't mind, nor did I complain about spotify's playlists, but they have limits.
