Marketplace Playlists and "Picks"

[johnnyb]

This relates directly to the Zune software:

Is there any way to subscribe to/download playlists that are selected for you, similar to "Picks for <username>" ? I know there are Channels suggested for you, but I was wondering if there is an organic (changing, constantly updating) playlist suggestion for people based on their song plays and liked songs. If there is, I might just spring for a Zune Pass for this feature alone.

This is built into Zune, and unlike Smart DJ, there are things called Autoplaylists (under the playlist tab). Put in a couple of different songs in there, and it should update based on your criteria. I don't use it, but I think this is what you're looking for!

Wow! I've always used Autoplaylists for things like my Liked songs or songs I've just gotten and want to keep ina spot where I can give them a quick first listen.

But it doesn't seem to use any songs from the Marketplace. I am really looking for something that will give me playlists that others create and update based on what I like. Maybe like pairing me up with some similar users and allowing me to follow a playlist of theirs.

Honestly, that sounds more like a Spotify job, but I don't even know if Spotify does that! If worst goes to worst, we could always create a new music venture that does this!
