But the content        isn't always up to par with what known and highly successful        musicians seem to produce.              Spotify's AI experiments with different ways of presenting new        music. Sometimes it's spot on (pun intended) and sometimes not        so much.              Spotify also comes in handy when I want to discover and compare        all the cover versions of a particular song and just play them        all in a row. It's fun to find a cover version that truly is a        work of art that may otherwise go missed.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: What do you call a musician with problems?
