Mopidy provides some fantastic web frontends, and also exposes an MPD interface so you get the best of both worlds. For output, you can go directly to your audio out on the server, or use something like Snapcast or even an Icecast stream (I use both for different purposes). I have a few different sql scripts that just tear through the mopidy sqlite database and build daily playlists using mood, genre or pure random so each day I get a few "discovery" playlists. Then, for real discovery, flip through the year-based lists on rateyourmusic.com (https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2020/ https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2020/) and the world is your oyster.
