I’ve been a huge fan of this project for a while and have some tips:
- The Spotify playlists all update automatically (usually weekly) so it’s worth following genres you like.
- Don’t miss the Pulse and Edge playlists linked at the top of most genre pages! Both are based on the listening activity of fans of the genre, with Pulse focusing on currently popular music and Edge on lesser-known artists.
- Smarter Playlists (http://smarterplaylists.playlistmachinery.com/) is a visual environment for building programmatic playlists using Spotify API calls. I use the Pulse and Edge playlists to make my own “Release Radar”-style playlists focused on specific genres, sorted to show the newest and least popular music first.
I’ve also been tinkering on a little handheld ESP32 Spotify remote that includes the genre and country playlists from here. It’s handy to use with a smart speaker to browse music when you don’t know what you want to hear.
