π SIMPLIFY and organize EXPLORING NEW artists/playlists with π "PIN TO EXPLORE" option that is different from adding it to your favourites, and avoids cluttering your favourites and playlist section.
THE REASONING:
I love music... across many genres. Almost all of them, and I spend a lot of time trying to explore new less known artists. Because of this massive continuous endeavor I also NEED to keep my playlists very ORGANIZED, clear and CONSICE. (According to genre, or the mood I want)
I am sure many people who listen to music not only for entertainment but also for the art of it can relate to the process of exploration that is always ongoing for us and can be quite "niche" and nuanced.
Unfortunately, the only option I currently have to "save" and remind myself to listen to a new artist - to explore and organize their songs into playlists - is the FAVOURITES button. But I dislike favouriting artists I don't consider a favourite... (yet. Or possibly ever)
THE SUGGESTION:
A π "PIN TO EXPLORE" button.
- This pin to explore button is similar to the favourites button that puts the artists/albums/playlist together somewhere.
- But different from the favourites button in so far as it doesn't like it. Different also because it should not pop up on your profile under favourites or anything visible to your followers. It should also NOT influence the AI generated suggested music.
THE POTENTIAL USAGE/FUNCTION:
- When listening to a suggested playlist, a song comes up that you really like. You can follow it to the artist page and π PIN TO EXPLORE so that you may continue listening to the playlist uninterrupted knowing that you saved this artist to explore another time.
- When listening to a playlist that you like SOME of the songs in, you can PIN IT but NOT FAVOURITE IT. Which allows for your playlists to remain uncluttered but you can be liberal about the new music you want to explore and remember to get back to. In this way you can work through a whole playlist and sort the music into your own WITHOUT needing to favourite and save many songs you don't actually enjoy.
- Lastly, when an artist is recommended by someone. Or hearing their music through someone else. You can easily search their name and PIN IT for future exploration and to remind you to listen to them later on.
Sidenote:
This does not have to be a pin. It can be a bookmark, pin, flag, sticky note or ANY good symbol/ signify-er that serves the purpose of NOT LIKING but reminding to listen and explore.
The name can be "PIN" or "EXPLORE" or "REMEMBER" or "LISTEN TO" ... or whatever else
