What is it with streaming playlist mixes that causes them to only play the last dozen or so songs, anyway? I add ONE instrumental song to my liked tracks and suddenly it's all Polyphia and Nito.
They prioritize songs in your cache. That way they reduce their infrastructure costs. On Spotify at least clearing your cache can force it to give you something different.
Of course there's some self-serving reason for it. I should've known!
