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.
The only thing I can think of would be Roon. Some drawbacks though. It’s proprietary and it’s a paid service. It’s very, very good for playing and streaming local music though. They put a lot of work in to their metadata, and do have recommendations in place. You can also get artists/songs/albums like this. There’s no curated lists yet, but AFAIK it’s in the pipeline.
I use it for all my local music. Both at-home and outside streaming work great. There’s still some work for them to do with tagging more obscure styles correctly, like Future funk.
