Make track mix non repetitve

Hi ​@AlexWayfer thanks.

Feedback has been shared with the Recommendation team. 

When I have some news, I will come back to you.

As stated in the title, sometimes with certain songs from small artists, attempting to launch a song mix will launch a playlist with just that single song in it. Particularly, I encounter this with Cherry Blossom by Ottom.

Expected behaviour: I launch a song mix which creates a playlist with songs similar to the target song

Actual behaviour: A playlist consisting of just the target song is created

Devices: any(?), tested on desktop, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Pixel 7 Pro

Copy of old thread that I accidentally closed, the issue is still present 4 months later

That’s definitely frustrating, especially with such a long-standing issue! Have you tried clearing the app cache or ensuring everything is updated? It seems like tracks from smaller artists, like Cherry Blossom by Ottom, might not have enough metadata for proper song mixes.

I'll choose to ignore the first half of your comment…

Indeed, this seems to be the issue, which I find odd. All tracks should have at least the bare minimum to be able to form a mix, like genre, playlist presence, other songs fans of this one listened to, etc. At the very least play me different tracks from the same artist, which it still doesn't do.

Hello ​@antikovt ​@AndrewRobert thanks for your messages. 

I have moved your question to here, where this is being discussed.

Recent feedback was shared with our Recommendation and Product team to see what can be done to improve the experience when we don’t have enough metadata to purpose a better Track Mix.

Hi ​@AlexWayfer! Thank you for sending another example.

I've already shared it with our team.

As soon as I have any updates, I’ll let you know.
