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?

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.

It doesn’t help any one else unfortunately.
But I subscribed to Google Play Music All Access during the original promo in 2013. Part of $7.99 promo deal way back then, was that it was a Lifetime Subscription. Even after raising the price on all the 2014 YouTube Red promo users at the beginning of 2024, I’m still locked in at $7.99. I’ve de-Googled nearly everything else, but I’ll hold on to that subscription till I die, or YouTube does.

@anytimesoon Why do you want some computer recommending music for you? Wouldn’t you rather your friends and shit? #FunkWhale

I already know what my friends listen to… Thats why I want computer recommendations!

Funkwhale would be good, but from my experience with it, it’s a bit dead
