Okay I have a request for you sort of based off this that I have been looking for. Would it be possible to have an automatic Playlist that pulls all the songs I have not liked out of my daily mixes? I mostly use Spotify to find new music while driving, so I want l anything new (therefore not liked) on my daily mixes dragged into a new Playlist. Right now every morning I manually add a few dozen songs to queue by clicking through a couple.

I wanted to make this for so long!

I used IFTTT to add all musics on my discovering and radar to a playlist. But this does not exclude liked music. So I would still need to manually delete them.

Also, I really enjoy discovering new music based on what my friends are listening. On desktop app, on the right hand side, there's a list of friends with the music they are listening. I manually add them to my playlist.

Unfortunately, this information is not available on the API, just on the app.

But it's good to know I'm not alone here.

The smarter playlist thing the other guy commented ended up working for me. Took a while to figure out though

It worked for me as well. I played with it for an hour before I could do what I wanted.

The only thing that's missing is removing liked music from the stream before saving the playlist.

Awesome website!

You can do that too, at least sort of. One option is saved tracks, which includes liked songs. You can also filter out your top tracks at least. The Playlist I built is doing both

Oh, thank you!

I haven't though about using this to filter out the liked songs. I'll give it a try.

Thank you, I just tried it and it works!

Here's the smarter playlist's program if you want to check it out.

There's a warning on the My Saved Tracks component: > This component may fail if you have a large number of saved tracks. Someday, this will be fixed.

I have 5801 liked songs and it worked for me in under a minute.

Interesting, mine works the same except I filter out by top tracks instead of adding them - my theory was that if I had played it multiple times and didn't like it, I probably didn't want to add it.

Yep, that makes sense. I will try mine for a few weeks but I'll keep an ear for musics playing over and over. If I notice the same music playing over the weeks I'll incorporate your idea 😁
