Hey again product friends! We're loving your feedback on Discover Weekly so far. To make it easier for you, here are some answers to the most frequent questions.
1. What is Discover Weekly?
It’s a weekly selection of new discoveries and deeper cuts based on your evolving music taste. Updated every Monday morning, Discover Weekly brings two hours of our best ever music recommendations, tailored specifically to YOU and delivered as a unique Spotify playlist.
2. When & How do I get it?
We started rolling it out today and you should be seeing a new playlist called "Discover Weekly" inside your Spotify app, personalized with your picture if you're connected to Facebook. If that is not the case yet, hold tight as we're still rolling it out, you should be getting it very soon. In case you are a new user, give us a little bit of time to get to know you and your music taste so we can deliver you with the best Discover Weekly possible.
3. What happens at the end of the week? Does the old list disappear? Get pushed down the playlist? Added as a different playlist?
Discover Weekly is one playlist that gets refreshed with completely new music every Monday morning, which is why we suggest saving your favourites. Each playlist will include approximately 2 hours of music each week - meaning around 30 songs.
It's also timezone synced, so you should get the update Monday morning no matter where you are in the world.
4. Can I share this playlist? And can anyone see it?
Your Discover Weekly playlist is set to private by default, but you can open it up and make it available to anyone on Spotify. And just like any playlist, you can easily share it with the world across any device and platform.
5. Can I start following other people’s Discover Weekly? And how can I differentiate them in my playlist folder - won’t they all be called Discover Weekly?
Yes, you can follow other people’s DW, as long as that person has set his/her playlist to public (hence a bit of early confusion in this thread!). Currently, the only way to differentiate DW playlists is the playlist image, but we’re looking into making this clearer in the future.
6. Can I delete the DW playlist?
Yes, Discover Weekly can be unfollowed, like any other playlist created by Spotify.
7. Any pro tips?
Yes, if you set Discover Weekly to offline, and leave your phone connected to wifi overnight, the new tracks will be ready to play wherever you are on Monday!

@flaneur Thanks for this lovely feature, I was going to stop my Spotify Premium (long time user but live in India) because Apple music costs 1/5th of the cost of Spotify I pay. I love Discover Weekly and thankfully my BMW has Spotify connect, a few suggestions for you. Can you make the Car App show the recents instead of my playlists in the same order every time? It gets hard to keep scrolling to find a song. Also how hard is it to have a heart or + button on the lock screen? I find it unfair that Apple apps can do it and not you guys. Also lastly please let me buy gift cards with an international credit card I'm wasting money for no reason I am eagerly waiting for spotify to launch in India (using it for years)
