Spotify revamps its Discover Weekly playlist after 10 years

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-08-23 19:00:00

Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist, which shares new listening recommendations every Monday, is getting an update. Ten years after the debut of Discover Weekly (yes, we feel old, too), Spotify Premium users will see new controls at the top of the playlist, which allow them to push their recommendations toward certain genres. So, if you mostly listen to 80s rock, but you’re starting to develop a soft spot for K-pop, you can select different genre filters to push the algorithmic curation in the r

Spotify’s much hated ‘Create’ button could soon go away, if you want it to (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-01 11:02:11

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify introduced a “Create” button in its app’s bottom navigation, but the move sparked widespread user backlash. Code within the latest app release suggests the company is listening to user feedback, as it could soon give users an option to hide the Create button. This opt-out toggle is not yet live, nor has Spotify officially confirmed it. Old habits die hard, and Spotify is learning this the hard way. The service introduced the “Create” button on it

10% Home Depot Promo Codes & Coupons | June 2025

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-09-01 19:30:00

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools. The Home Depot smell is buried deep in my childhood, filed somewhere betwee

Still upset about last summer’s Spotify price bump? These lawmakers are on the case

Tech Team / Android Authority TL;DR Last year Spotify introduced audiobook access and raised pricing for Premium plans. While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware. They also accuse Spotify of orchestrating the whole change to lower its payouts to musicians.

There are lots of ways to make a generic vlog on YouTube nowadays, but only one way to make a vlog using the likeness of Harry Potter characters—or at least only one way to do that without technically doing it at all. Thanks to Veo 3, Google’s newest video generation model, smooth-brain YouTube content is getting a lot smoother.

Two U.S. senators have requested that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate Spotify due to allegations that the company bundled its music streaming and audiobook services into a more expensive subscription without obtaining user consent, while also reducing royalty payments to creators in the process.
