It used to be very effective for me, but now I've realized that I spend more time than i'd like switching tracks on Spotify.
I usually turn on the music when i'm feeling a bit tired and i've already reached my coffe limit for the day (which is two mugs a day if you're asking).

In my opinion, when using services like Spotify, the end goal should be that you don't have to skip tracks anymore. There are excellent algorithms which should learn what you like and what works for you. The longer you use a particular service, the better the song list should become.

Do you experience something else or do you agree?

Totally agree, somehow the suggestions I get from Spotify are a bit flawed. Guess I should listen to more Spotify radios and actively like and dislike songs in order to "curate" my library... but my manager would choke me with my own headphones cable hahaha
