Self-curated or do you have a good source for human-made playlists?

• tptacek 2y ago
  I feel like basically all I listen to is human-made playlists and recommendations from humans? RYM might be a good place for you to start, but you can also just do the obvious thing of starting from a couple playlists you like and finding other playlists by the same people. Eventually you'll find people who seemingly do this full-time. Really weird for me to see people talking about how bad "the algo" is. Do people just open up Apple Music or Spotify and tell it "find stuff for me to play"? I know that's a thing it will do, but it never occurred to me that I'd actually want it to do that.

I do this with Apple Music. And, to be honest, "the algo" has been really good. The "create a station" feature has introduced me to a few dozen artists at least.

  There are an endless number of playlist mixes on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. I usually go for the YouTube ones because that will introduce me to music I’ve never listened to before, such as this one I discovered some some 5 to 6 years ago I still pull up when I want to listen: https://youtu.be/DbHa-pllnDU https://youtu.be/DbHa-pllnDU If you want human curated music, you can have that. If you want an algo-driven mix, you can have that too. I flip between both and playlists I put together for myself.
