I feel like I'm the only person who hates Spotify, Youtube Music, Apple Music, etc... None of them give me music I want. I pick some old 60s vocal jazz and within 40 songs all of them try to stick some pop music into my "radio".
Other issues are picking some artist, clicking "radio" and getting the same playlist every single time, maybe shuffled. The same 10-30 songs. No variety.
Other issues are not understanding what I want. Say I listen to an 80s synth band. Pick "radio" and I'll get effectively "hits of the 80s" instead of "synth bands"
Similarly say I want female vocals, no way to filter on that.
This is one think I liked about the original streaming service, rhapsody. Each artist listed influencers and followers. That was a way more accurate way to find similar music than AI which AFAICT at best sorts by "most users that liked X also listen to Y"
Looking forward to try some of the recommendations here

- cholantesh 3y agoNope; seems like the best compliment anyone has for Spotify (as a consumer rather than a SWE) is that it's "fine". It doesn't necessarily have everything, its recommendation engine is mediocre, definitely not the same value it used to be, etc., etc., "but what're you gonna do?" I for one am happy to use Jellyfin and just stream from my NAS, but that doesn't give the serendipity that something like Rdio did.
