So, imagine I’m using any sort of streaming server. Is there ANY of them that have the ability to suggest new stuff, which is the number 1 and only reason I still use Spotify?
If anyone could answer this including the setup they have to run it, that would be awesome.
You can reasonably use Tidal to find new suggestions and plex to actually listen to stuff. That’s basically what I do. Tidal’s algorithm for discovering new music is better than Spotify’s imo, was pleasantly surprised when I switched because of plex/tidal integration. The biggest pain will be the initial Tidal setup with music preferences (likes/dislikes etc)
I will say though that Tidal/Plex integration is far from perfect, I initially got it to mix my downloads with a streaming service and quickly discovered plex cannot download Tidal songs which put a huge dent in my plans.
I had high hopes for the plex/tidal integration. But it is not ready yet. Hoping they can improve upon it, when things worked it was great.
Would be awesome if tidal or Spotify had a lower cost “discovery” account that had a limited number of streams per month that could integrate with plex/plexamp to stream AND provide recommendations. But I think the market for the is probably too small for them.
