While I found Blend to be far from perfect, I still think everyone should try it.

What Is Spotify Blend?

Blend analyzes two Spotify users musical tastes to create a mix.

Blend allows you to create a link you might send to a friend to create a unique mix.

Some songs perfectly aligned with both peoples tastes, and others left us scratching our heads.

It hit the mark with artists that we both love, like Beck.

Bettinas mix included more dance music, which makes sense based on where our listening habits overlap.

For me, the biggest downside of Blend is that the mixes can be a bit messy.

The playlists sometimes cobbled together several genres and songs that didnt flow well.
