But there is the ability to just play from a playlist, supposedly at random without any personalized suggestions thrown in (though be careful about what shuffle mode you use because one of them inserts songs they “think you’d enjoy” (but probably actually means “save spotify money”).
Yes, playlists do that, but they also exclude new music. I am constantly looking for new music, so I make stations of songs or choose one of their pre-made stations and listen to whatever spotify throws in the station.
Makes me wonder if there’s a good 3rd party program or service that does music suggestion without any concern for how it will affect spotify’s royalties.

Last.fm is actually pretty spot-on.
