I think they're combinations of the meta tags used to label songs for their suggestions engine. Spooky Jazz Mix, Spooky Metal Mix, Spooky House Mix, and Spooky Pop Mix are all valid combos with a playlist available.

Maybe with a complete list of the meta tags and the functional combinations we can map out all the weird auto-generated mixes.

Yes! The weird Halloween mixes have been showing up this week, and they are surprisingly good.

Calm Dogs Mix.

Dogs Calming Mix.

Dogs Pet Calming Mix.

I must have searched once for music to help my dog figure fireworks out, and now I am gifted with this kind of variety. (Dogs Classic Classical Mix, Dogs Classical Dinner Mix, Relaxing Dogs Mix, Dogs Calming Instrumental Mix, Soothing Dogs Mix, Dogs Guided Meditation Mix,...)

If you scroll slow enough, the page just keeps loading, so I don't think there is an end to the algorithm attempting to satisfy your every need... nor my dog's obviously very stressful life.

Possibly because these non-curated, algorithm/thesaurus hit-list mixes aren't particularly good? It would train people to ignore them outright.

I've noticed the design of these auto mixes a couple months ago. They'll turn up in certain searches now a little more persistently.

I dont use Spotify anymore, but my profile probably still exists. Look up "Halloweenie music" by "DumbMunky". Its all metal, punk, goth, and psychobilly Halloween stuff.

Unrelated but is anyone else's front page on the app now just a long list? It's really unintuitive yet I can't find other people complaining about it. Also seems like my daily mixes have completely reset and have nothing to do with my listening habits

Yeah, for sure. I've been manually cultivating a Halloween playlist for a few years now, and it's surprising how many obscure songs I've found that are turning up on these auto-gen playlists.

Mine can be super random. Listen to a song 100 times and it won't pop up on any related mixes. My son listens to 13 different versions of the lego ninjago themesong once and I got 5 playlist mixes for the damn thing.

Replying to Hooie (#269,430)

Of course, here's the list.

For a lot of folks, its gonna be a list to pick an choose out of, as its a huge mix of everything reasonably Halloween, so it bounces around a lot in style and tone.

(a little background on the reasoning of what's in there.)

First, the primary thing, what gets it on the list;

  • It's explicitly about Halloween, ghosts, demons, ect
  • Its spooky / haunting or closely associated with things that are (ie, some movie soundtrack pop songs)
  • mentions ghosts/ demons as metaphor, but is also spooky. (things that are metaphorical but lack the appropriate sound generally don't make the cut)

And some caveats;

  • some things get a pass on the 3rd point above, as it has been a struggle to find modern music (<10yrs) that qualifies. I've been trying to keep it from becoming a typical '80's music list' like you usually see on a Halloween list.
  • Generally, I try to include a few items from any given artist. Because otherwise it would become dominated by certain artists (ie, Lordi)
  • For the sake of not being boring, certain versions of songs you might expect are intentionally excluded from the list. No BBP Monster Mash for example, there's a cover instead. (some get a pass here, like Thriller and Ghostbusters). Also, some are covers because I'm based in Canada, and our Spotify doesn't have the license for the song here (ie, OG Buffy Theme)
  • Naturally, its dominated by Punk, Emo, Goth, Metal and soundtracks. I try to expand beyond that, but of course other genres tend away from this sort of thing.
  • and finally, its like a 6 or 7 year work in progress, which I haven't given an edit pass yet this year, so of course I'm open to input

And finally, I'm open to thoughts and suggestions. (following the guidelines above)

When my wife and I used to share an account (before we had the family thing where we have our own). I listened to the Doom soundtrack once and she used to listen to relaxation music to help her sleep.

Spotify recommended an “Instrumental mix playlist” which included both things.

"Happy metal mix"

I was curious a few days ago and decided to see if there were any such playlists.

Spotify kinda didn't really disappoint since that list had Alestorm, Finntroll, Hammerfall and Battle Beast on it to name a few.

Ha, nice! I have that one too. I remember that was a promotion before the premiere for either Star Wars 7 or Star Wars 8, when Spotify also rolled out blended playlists.

There should also be: Darth Vader + (you), and Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Princess Leia. I thought they had Finn, Rey, and BB8 but I can't find them now. Which is sad because BB8's mix was awesome.

Mine are almost always an ouroboros, as Spotify just seems to take whatever playlists I already listen to and then sort them into common-denominator auto mixes, using the exact songs from those playlists.

vatothe0 t1_iu4ox27 wrote

Tennessee Pirate Mix sounded ridiculous so I opened it.

I'd already favorited two (Big Iron -Marty Robbins and Sangria Wine -Jerry Jeff Walker) of the first 5 songs then added the 5th song (Old Man -Beck).

It's a bit heavy on Jimmy Buffett which makes sense, though I don't really like his music for some reason.

My only general description of the list would be the intersection/neighborhood of light southern rock, bluegrass, and folk, I guess.
