Spotify has long been a favourite but one of the things that I miss from other options like Pandora, Last.fm and Apple’s Genius playlists is the possibility to seed a playlist with a track and get a generated playlist that introduces you to new music you probably wouldn’t have heard without it. Well now that’s a possibility with a new project that has the dubious but memorable name “Spotibot”. Powered by Spotify and Last.fm, this new service from Andy Smith offers playlist generation and he also has a handy bookmarklet that you can use to make sense of the normal random Spotify online playlists. I’m sure that at some point Spotify will introduce a similar feature but until then Spotibot is definitely worth checking out. See the site here.
