Questions people ask
How does the music selector pick albums?
It combines what you said you want to listen to with how you rated ten albums lots of people know. Albums that share a lot with the ones you liked move up; albums like the ones you didn't move down. Picks come from albums that are widely rated highly and widely heard.
What if I haven't heard some of the ten albums?
Tap Skip and choose Haven't heard it. An album you skip doesn't count against you, and it can still turn up in your picks if it fits.
Which albums can it pick?
Albums with a Wikipedia article in at least 20 languages that are on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time or, for albums from 2001 on, have a Metacritic score of 80 or more. Those lists lean toward English-language music, so many great albums from elsewhere are not in the pool yet.
Will my picks change if I take it again?
Yes. The picks follow your answers, so a different mood gives a different list.
