So, imagine I’m using any sort of streaming server. Is there ANY of them that have the ability to suggest new stuff, which is the number 1 and only reason I still use Spotify?

If anyone could answer this including the setup they have to run it, that would be awesome.

    I haven’t seen it mentioned here but you can use Plexamp along with multi-scrobbler attached to a service like listenbrainz or last.fm. This will record what you listen to and help come up with personalized recommendations.

      Another thanks for the recommendation on multi-scrobbler. I was trying to find a method for filtering which devices/players in Plex would scrobble to last.fm, and that did the trick. I just had to configure a filtered notification in Tautulli to send to multi-scrobbler and then to last.fm.

    Plex does alright at suggesting music from your own library, and also has some really nice DJ-like song transitions that are legitimately way better than any other track fades. However, Plex users have been frustrated with the company’s slow response to fixing long-standing bugs, and some of the features are paid. It’s also not open-source.

    No idea if it can suggest music that isn’t in your library; I know that they integrate with Tidal though, so maybe if you have that it’ll also suggest stuff from Tidal?

        I’ve used Plex, Jellyfin, and Navidrome. I’m currently using Navidrome, but Plexamp is a massively better product for discovering/interacting with your library. The sonic analysis really takes it to another level.

    I currently use Tidal. Lacks some of the DnB albums I liked on Spotify, but at least has proper audio quality.
