In all likelihood, you will find some that you never even knew you liked.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Your Daily Mix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103138 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1406\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix.jpg 1406w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix-768x331.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix-1024x441.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DailyMix-1200x517.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1406px) 100vw, 1406px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This feature is another awesome example of how Spotify Premium can make&nbsp;playlists of music similar to other tracks you&#8217;ve chosen. Besides updating every day as opposed to every week, the way this differs from &#8216;Discover Weekly&#8217; is that &#8216;Your Daily Mix&#8217; divides into <strong>six different categories, each one an &#8220;endless mix.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What this means is that as you go down the list it will pull tracks of a similar genre, some of which you&#8217;ll know, and some of which will be new discoveries. If your taste in music is especially eclectic, these mixes might be your favorite element of Spotify Premium since these mixes can be drastically different from each other.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Genres and Moods<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103139\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1362\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods.jpg 1362w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods-1024x656.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/GenresAndMoods-1200x768.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, clicking <strong>&#8216;Browse&#8217;<\/strong> on the left and scrolling down will take you to a bunch of various &#8216;genres and moods&#8217;, each opening up to a half a dozen subcategories, all of which are playlists comprised of over a hundred songs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103140\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1399\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus.jpg 1399w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/DeepFocus-1200x775.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1399px) 100vw, 1399px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what you&#8217;re doing or how you&#8217;re feeling, Spotify has you covered.
