Pros


This is a great online utility which can rustle up a 50 track playlist in a matter of seconds. All you need to do is start by entering a track name, selecting it from the drop down and hitting the big red button.

Your playlist will then appear with a link to listen to it via Spotify.

Spotalike is a good for discovering new music even when starting with a track or artist you may know well.

Powered by Last.fm’s massive data base which has been growing since 2002 means the results are detailed and will throw up some artists you won’t hopefully be familiar with but will be closely related to the artist you started with.

A great tool for finding something new

Cons


It is limited to what you can find on Last fm and what Spotify actually has available in it’s library which means sometimes you will get the ‘cover’ version as the original artist e.g. Led Zeppelin isn’t to be found on Spotify.
