@flaneur - started exploring my playlist and loving it so far. Is there any way to upvote or downvote songs to help tailor future playlists (similar to how it's done for radio)?
Also, how does listening to your Discover Weekly playlist affect future playlists?

@liora_ We don't have explicit feedback at the moment, although this is just version 1. Good idea ;)
We've built Discover Weekly so it grows along with you and your listening, so everything you play on Spotify will affect future editions, and we pay a bit more attention to stuff you've played recently. We also have a few tricks to ensure you don't get caught in a recommendations feedback loop too.
Happy listening!

@flaneur @liora_ Now that I've been playing with this for a week, so many questions about how you're tracking this:
1) How do you know if a playlist was successful? Is it the number of times played? Whether or not those songs are incorporated into another playlist? (if the latter, what if ALL the songs get put on another playlist? Do you filter that out?)
2) How do you determine which songs are eligible for the list? I had two songs on my playlist this week that exist on other playlists. Is this based exclusively off of what WASN'T listened to in the past week? What's fair game?
3) How do you judge whether or not someone likes a song? If I hear X seconds and then skip through, does that song get counted?
4) What can I do to my listening patterns throughout the week to optimize my playlist come Monday morning?
