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?
this is something i’m trying to figure out myself, so i’m right there with you 😅
the best thing i’ve done so far is to visit various public tracker sites and look at the trending torrents for music over different time frames.
i’ve also been just combing through different DJ sets, playlists, and allowing the almighty algorithm on YouTube take me to new places, and then I download the ones that i like. almost crate digging, but digitally :)
keen to see what others say, though.
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.
Havent found a good solution for me aswell.
I used to use spotify and let it create similar playlists to what I already had but ofc they killed that feature in favor of their useless smart shuffle…
Maybe not exacly what you’re looking for but www.chosic.com has a bunch of tools for recommending similar artists and songs.
This looks like a decent option. Do you know if they have an api? I can’t find any info on the website
Orpheus has a spiderweb map of similar artists at the bottom of every artist page. It’s not as in-depth as WCD’s was (RIP) but it’s serviceable!
