LOVE Spotify right now. Spotify Discover Weekly has become a Monday morning ritual. Release Radar takes the same approach, curating a new playlist every Friday. So smart to build these experiences around appointments to create a weekly habit. 💕
Here's a screenshot of my Release Radar this week:
@rrhoover Wow that's amazing! How's it built? Based on my followings or, more like Discover Weekly, based on my history and EchoNest algorithms?

@hfauq@rrhoover I don't know how it's built but I have the exact same playlist than Ryan when I click on his link.
Which is pretty weird cause I think it should be a unique playlist generated by Spotify for me.
Am I wrong?

@pierrickgt: Not the /user/ tag in the URL. You're checking his personal playlist. If you want yours: go to Browse, then you'll find the Release Radar there. Hit Follow & done!
@hfauq: Seems like Discover Weekly. I have artists in my playlist that I don't follow... although I think this is more weighted towards followed artists than Discover Weekly.

@basgras well to me, it looks like Spotify is the user.
Since the url is /user/spotify/playlist.
For example if you want to access my weekly playlist, you need to use this link:
http://open.spotify.com/user/spo...
So it's the encrypted part at the end that is the actual playlist.
@pierrickgt@hfauq@rrhoover mine looks completely different. i'm guessing it works similar to discover weekly, but combined with their artist follow functionality

I made an IFTTT recipe that automatically copies your Release Radar playlists, so you don't lose them when they get overwritten: https://ifttt.com/recipes/450465...
@basgras I use an IFTTT recipe to do the same for Discover Weekly, thanks for this!

@basgras awesome. I used to save my discover weekly's, but after about 17 weeks I had to stop. There's always next week, and a shortage of music to discover is not on my list of problems anymore. Not at all criticizing and thanks for sharing.
So, "up to 2 hours of released you might've missed". Great, but I really want an overview of all releases of artist I love. So, I use swarm.fm: http://app.swarm.fm/#/releases/l...

@wraldpyk Spotify's activity feed does something like that, actually.

@basgras I only see 1 thing in there from 17 days ago. I follow tons of artists.
Also, just found out the new playlist has artists I don't even know, so Discover Weekly the 2nd.
