Since the Plex announcement that their integration with tidal is ending, I’m considering what my options are. I’m aware the the *arrs but is there anything that will recommend music?
What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?
You must log in or # to comment.
If you don’t have a problem with sharing your listening data:
- Last.fm (for example, check “similar to” section of artist pages or “similar albums” of album pages)
- ListenBrainz, a free and open source alternative to Last.fm (for example, Music Neighbourhood, ListenBrainz Radio, or the “Created for you” playlists (they have been criticised by people for having too little variety, but according to the devs this will increase as more people use the service))
Or you can just ask people for recommendations.
LastFm is great. Entire “radio stations” for every (niche) genre out their.
What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?
- Find DJs I like on Twitch. (Many of them copy shows to Mixcloud too, so you can listen later, but track IDs may only be on the live show.)
- When I hear a song I like, grab the discography from one of the usual sources.
I have discovered so much great new music via Twitch, but I am sure not every genre is well supplied with good DJs.
@Nyarlathotep @anytimesoon I mean, I do the same thing people have done for a century, I listen to the radio.
@anytimesoon Why do you want some computer recommending music for you? Wouldn’t you rather your friends and shit? #FunkWhale
