Woo! Good to know it’s not just me who finds the mixes and recommendations better 
I’ve read that Spotify is heavily influenced by labels paying more to be pushed to the top of the algorithm, and you can certainly see this trend I think. It also affects the shuffle mode, so you end up hearing the same songs over and over.
Tidal seems to do this less (I’m sure they still do it in some way, money is money after all), and I prefer it.
I recently moved from Spotify (after having been with them since 2011) over to AM. Spotify ruined their home screen with a TikTok, Instagram-Reels, style update. It autoplayed too all the damn time.
I am liking AM - it just takes some getting used to.
Apparently there was a big update to Apple Music for Windows today (and also Apple TV for Windows). As I’m on Windows 10, I can’t get it, but might be worth updating it to see the changes.

Not sure what topic to post this in – has Apple stopped updating the Replay 2023 thing? They were meant to update it each week so you’d have a rolling view of your music listening habits through the year as opposed to once a year like with Spotify. But my last update was end of March…
It updates weekly on a Sunday. The only way it wouldn’t is if it’s not tracking your plays for some reason. Or you’ve not listened to enough or in such a way that would prompt a change in your playlist.
Is that the same update schedule as the new music mix. Because that’s when this does.
I looked at mine and I’m not sure it’s working properly. I listen to a LOT of music but the tracks it’s picking up, there’s no way some of those are the most I’ve played. Feels like it’s not correctly picking up the tunes.
The mixes have set days, and are staggered throughout the week. The idea you’ve always got a new playlist to listen to.
I think it’s the relax one or chill or whatever it’s called that’s on Sundays as well.
My new music list is done on Fridays.
Odd. Last update as of end of March that I listened 10k minutes. It’s definitely at least double that by now but it just won’t update. I have no idea why…
I’ve just been sent an unmissable offer from Spotify.
Get back to playing your songs without audio interruptions by rejoining Premium. £10.99 for 3 months.
Individual plan only. 3 Months for £10.99. Previously £10.99/month, £10.99/month after trial.
Not sure if they still offer it - but Amazon do a £99 Spotify Gift Card, which gets you 12 months of subscription! 
That must have been quite the first post…
And it’s utterly baffling why it was approved at all given that since the Big Forum Outage all first posts need to be vetted. @AlanDoe can we please have an explanation on the low quality of first posts recently?
It was an AI generated spam bot post
Really? Isn’t there human verification on sign up with Discourse?
2023 Apple Music Replay is out
I’m top 100 listener for two artists, but sadly no top 10 no matter how obsessed I am…
I was the top 0.001% for a band with Spotify once 
Wow, that’s something else! Top 0.1% is the best I got back when on Spotify.
