This is somewhere between a complaint and an idea. I love the new Spotify integration, but am annoyed that the “Match”/automix radio is so terrible. Using a song I enjoy on regular spotify to create a station generates mostly similar songs that I also like, especially after I have used the “thumbs up/thumbs down” buttons a handful of times (which helps their algorithms understand what it is I want to hear).
The Match feature within Djay, however, seems to have no idea what it is that I am listening to. For example, a dance song for some reason led into some alternative 90’s rock songs with a similar bpm… Another recent house-tinged track generated mostly terrible 80’s synth dance. Mostly I end up listening to heavy metal… nothing like the music I started with. I’m not sure if Match is broken, or if it literally only considers pitch and tempo to find matches, but you really need to add those “thumbs up/thumbs down” buttons (at least for automix radio) so it is able to create a more intelligent station.
It is sad that the old Spotify station feature gives far better results than the new Echo Match.
