Auto-add to the 'New Discovery Playlist' based on playtime threshold

[ge2019]

Problem: I’m really tired of playing the same songs, but I find it quite cumbersome to discover new music and save it to our playlist. We use the Radio feature to find cool new songs, but we have to unlock the screen, open the app, look back at the song, and add it to the playlist.

Solution: A toggle button to activate "Discovery" mode and block songs that have already been played. Newly discovered songs that are played beyond a certain threshold will be automatically added to a new playlist for us to listen to later.

How this might work: We set a threshold, for example, 70% of the song's duration. So, if a song's duration is 4:35 and we have only listened for 3:13, this new feature will recognise that we like the song and want it to keep playing. When this toggle is on, it will continuously filter newly discovered songs based on the threshold. If we skip a song below the threshold, it means we do not want that new song in our playlist. This combines simplicity with better usability in mobile situations, such as being in a car or running.

Come on, this would really help indie artists gain better visibility, and avid music listeners will stay on your platform to keep discovering new tunes.
