Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music

@deadhead1000 Thanks for the link, interesting website. 

I am all about building killer playlists. One of my discovery techniques is listening to internet radio, Spotify Discover Weekly and other people's playlists and taking a quick screenshot on my phone of the songs I like. Then at my convenience from my computer, I open my Photos app and add them to Qobuz playlists. It's quick and easy, and my discoveries are much broader than simply looking for similar artists.

Great subject, you gotta love streaming for this aspect alone.  

 I really dislike the streaming service throwing music at me unasked according to algorithm.  I prefer the services that have a tab saying “select new music” as opposed to just doing it automatically 

I abhor creating my own playlists. Tedious. 95% of my listening is via suggested playlists or "radio" type features.

Spotify has the best suggestions. Of course it’s content isn’t the greatest quality.

Tidal does a pretty good job of providing customized suggestions. @steakster if you use a streamer that supports Tidal Connect, you can use the Tidal app to remote control your streamer. Best of both worlds. I don’t know if your streamer supports this (I use Lumin).

I keep hoping Qobuz will release a Qobuz Connect so I can drop Tidal (not a MQA fan).

Definitely Roon with Qobuz and Tital subcriptions.

I don't like proprietary apps.

I use Conductor app with Qobuz. One of the many features I enjoy is Qobuz Playlists to explore music. And then there are tabs on my Conductor app, 

-New Releases, Streaming Charts, Most Featured, Editor Picks, Qobuzinissim

Creating Playlist is a breeze with Conductor App. I love cueing up my ‘demo’ playlist for each genre.

Thanks for sharing the link to a very cool website. It’s pretty darn accurate for my musical tastes, now If I can find time to create more playlists :-)
