Fair enough

Ok, personally I like variety and discovery new

You can do that and subscribe to streaming services

Actually that specific mix is on Spotify...

- netule 3y agoEasily discovering new artists is probably the only reason why I’m afraid of moving on from Spotify. If anyone knows a good alternative, I’m all ears.
- ssalka 3y agoSpotify free version of course! Also, YouTube, though that's a bit more of a "choose your own adventure" type of experience, maybe not as easy/streamlined as you'd like
- gwill 3y agothat and sharing with friends. also, spotify has made playing a shared live playlist usable (although why they don't add a toggle so tapping a song will just add it to the playlist when in that mode bloggles my mind).
- yokaze 3y agoWhat worked for me: Search a web-radio with a (human) DJ and a published playlist. If find there a couple of artists / songs of a certain style that match my more non-mainstream interests, I'll listen to that. Usually, there pop up some artists I have never heard before. A variant on that is, look for such a radio in a different country.
