Spotify is testing a new Discover Weekly a like / dislike function to that should improve the playlist's algorithm powered recommendations. For some users two new symbols – a small heart and a blocked sign now appear in the bottom left corner when a song is playing. The feature, reminiscent of Pandora's thumbs up / thumbs down , will presumably help fine tune each user's Discovery Weekly playlist.While I love Discovery Weekly, I often find that it has populated my playlist informed by unusual tracks that I listened to as part of my work with at our sister booking agency [Skyline Artists](http://www.skylineonline.com/?ref=hypebot.com), juxtaposed with tracks I listen to for personal pleasure. This new feature could help fix that. Mashable Social Media Producer Jennie Gale was among the first to [notice](http://mashable.com/2017/12/04/spotify-discover-weekly-like-dislike-test/?ref=hypebot.com#pL4xFz4sPsqw) the test on Monday morning, and now other users are seeing the new symbols.

> [@Spotify](https://twitter.com/Spotify?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=hypebot.com) Just wanted to thank you guys for implementing the "Like" and "Don't Like" buttons on Discover Weekly. Literally the first week of me using them and I got an absolutely perfect selection of music. Thank you sooo much!
