I have been surprised by how useful the Discover Weekly playlists are. I can't say every single week/edition has been worth listening to, but a majority have. I actually started a new playlist folder last week just so that I can start saving entire Weekly playlists if they are worth listening to as a whole.<p>I think there are some valid weaknesses that the verge pointed out; perhaps most importantly that there isn't really a smooth flow to the playlist. I wouldn't say the transitions, or lack thereof, from song to song work. But on that end I tend to just shuffle the playlists anyways, which somewhat makes up for it.
