Different song list in Automix vs sidebar Matching Song list

[jimyson]

I’m noticing different songs in the Automix list when the source is Matching Songs vs the songs when I open the sidebar and select the Matching Song list. Do they use the same algorithm to select songs and should the songs be consistent between the two lists?

Hi @jimyson,

Can you please share screenshots of both? I’ll follow up with the engineering team, but would like to have clear info for them first. Thanks!

Hi @jimyson, I spoke with engineering.
Some streaming services return randomized results for Match e.g. Apple Music. The Match panel and the Match Automix source both make separate requests for matched data. So if the service randomizes results, then you will see different content returned.
