I haven't used any #music streaming subscription services in forever and instead I relied on physical media or free YouTube videos all this time.
But there's one feature that I really miss, namely the recommendations. I would like to put in a song or an artist and find similar music that I don't yet know about.
Does anyone know anything #FOSS that enables this? Something like a "similar artists/music" search engine, perhaps even with advanced search parameters?
@Okanogen @lianna We do! Well, our sister site @ListenBrainz does, check it out: https://listenbrainz.org/
You'll have to submit some listens (or import history from elsewhere) before we can generate you custom recommendation playlists. More listen history, better recs.
Popular artists also have a related artist 'web' on their page. That feature is not user-specific and does not require an account. It is also available via API. Example page. https://listenbrainz.org/artist/68bd8072-0412-44b1-81dd-807aa6c1918c

@Okanogen @lianna @ListenBrainz I forgot to mention that LB also has a beta playlist generator, which includes custom search parameters: https://listenbrainz.org/explore/lb-radio/
Logging in used to be optional, except for some parameters which were user-specific (e.g. listened vs unlistened), but then AI scrapers ruined it for everyone. -a
