I use liked songs exclusively. I mostly use shuffle but I also unlike and like songs that I rediscover in my enormous (≈5000 songs) liked list so the songs end up at the top.

So the songs at the top are the songs that I am listening to currently. If I want something I haven't heard in a while I just scroll down or use (the suboptimal) shuffle.

Unliking and liking used to be two clicks but now It's 4 or 6 depending on the song and if it's in another playlist or not.

I can't understand why they couldn't just add two buttons. Modern devices have plenty of screen real estate.

When they tried this last time people got outraged any they rolled back the change. Now Spotify is going ahead anyways.
