Spotify Discover Guides You to New Music Based on People You Follow

Web: Spotify's radio feature already tries to suggest bands and artists based on the ones you like, but Discover suggests new music to you based on the people you follow. Your recommendations will be packed with playlists, songs, and artists your friends enjoy that you may not have tried.

Spotify has one of the web's biggest databases of streaming music, and while it's always had things like shared playlists and the ability to see what your friends are listening to, Discover is a more direct take on music discovery. It takes things a step further and tries to combine truly useful suggestions with playlists and artists that your friends have recently enjoyed.

If you're worried that you'll get stuck with a bunch of suggestions you'll hate because you and your friends have different tastes in music, don't worry: Spotify says that the recommendations you'll see take a number of things into consideration, not just what your friends are listening to. To try Discover, head over to Spotify's web player—it's only available on the web right now (partially because it's supposed to replace Spotify's home page eventually) and will make its way to the desktop and mobile apps soon.
