Highlight releases that I'm likely to really care about #62

I'm not sure what the right solution to this is, but I thought I'd open an issue talking about the problem from my perspective to start a discussion.

Apple Music is really poor at surfacing new albums from artists that I would like, even though it has 11 years of my listening data. Droptune is great because it shows me everything, but this is now a bit too much. When I started I got a lot of classical music because I had a few classical artists in my collection, even though I haven't listened to them for years. I found that if I unfollowed them that cleaned up my recommendations, but many people probably won't want to do that much curation.

It would be great if Droptune could look at my listening history and highlight in some way the albums that I am most likely to care about, and maybe deemphasise the ones I'm less likely to care about.

Some ideas:

Yes! So, this past weekend I rolled out a feature that actually saves your listening history (both through Spotify's API and via Last.fm if you connect that).

I did that to ultimately have the data to do things you mentioned.

Definitely want to be smarter about how to surface new tunes and that starts with the data we collect.

Great suggestions!
