# Discover Page Fixes Applied

## Issues Fixed

### 1. Genre Content Issues (Kesha in Soca Picks)
**Problem**: Genres were showing inappropriate content (e.g., Kesha in Soca)
**Solution**: 
- Enhanced genre-specific artist searches with proper Caribbean/African artists
- Added region-specific search queries (e.g., "soca trinidad", "dancehall jamaica")
- Improved fallback mechanisms for better genre accuracy

**Changes Made**:
- Updated `genre_artists` dictionary with more authentic artists per genre
- Added Soca artists: Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Kes, Patrice Roberts, Voice, JW & Blaze, Nailah Blackman, Erphaan Alves
- Implemented multi-strategy search approach for Caribbean genres
- Added duplicate detection to avoid repeated tracks

### 2. Made For You Recommendations
**Problem**: Not using actual listening history for personalized recommendations
**Solution**:
- Restored proper listening history integration
- Enhanced fallback with more targeted searches
- Reduced API limits to avoid rate limiting

**Changes Made**:
- Fixed `get_for_you_section()` to prioritize actual listening history
- Added better logging to show when listening history is used
- Reduced recommendation limits from 100 to 25 tracks
- Improved fallback queries to include Afrobeats/Amapiano (user's preferred genres)

### 3. New Releases Tab Issues
**Problem**: New Releases tab not showing content
**Solution**:
- Fixed featured playlists 404 error handling
- Enhanced search-based fallback approach
- Improved error handling and logging

**Changes Made**:
- Added proper error handling for featured playlists (404 in some regions)
- Implemented multi-query search approach for new releases
- Added duplicate detection and shuffling for variety
- Reduced API limits to prevent rate limiting

### 4. Rate Limiting Issues
**Problem**: Too many API calls causing rate limits
**Solution**:
- Reduced limits across all endpoints
- Optimized API call patterns

**Changes Made**:
- Reduced recently_played limit from 50 to 20
- Reduced genre recommendations from 100 to 25
- Reduced comprehensive discovery limits
- Optimized search queries to be more efficient

## API Improvements

### Enhanced Genre Searches
```python
# Before: Generic searches
search_results = self.sp.search(q=f'{genre} music', type='track', limit=15)

# After: Region-specific searches
if genre == 'soca':
    search_queries = ['soca trinidad', 'soca carnival', 'soca 2024']
elif genre == 'dancehall':
    search_queries = ['dancehall jamaica', 'dancehall reggae']
```

### Better Artist Targeting
```python
# Added authentic artists for Caribbean genres
'soca': ['Machel Montano', 'Bunji Garlin', 'Kes', 'Patrice Roberts', 'Voice', 'JW & Blaze', 'Nailah Blackman', 'Erphaan Alves']
```

### Improved Error Handling
- Added proper 404 handling for featured playlists
- Enhanced logging for debugging
- Better fallback mechanisms

## Testing Results
- ✅ Soca genre now returns authentic Caribbean artists
- ✅ New releases section working with 8 tracks
- ✅ Made for You section ready for listening history integration
- ✅ All genres working with proper fallback searches
- ✅ Reduced API calls to prevent rate limiting

## Next Steps
1. Test with actual listening history data
2. Verify frontend displays New Releases tab correctly
3. Monitor for any remaining rate limiting issues
4. Fine-tune genre searches based on user feedback
