When we rolled out our initial batch of playlist feature improvements in February of this year, we hinted at more great things to come. Today, we’re excited to deliver the goods and a solution to one of music streaming’s biggest annoyances. In the spirit of naming a trusted, reliable tool after its job, we’ve branded our new playlist feature Playlist Improver. It’s short, simple, direct, and awesome.
