I subscribe to several services to get more sources of inspiration.
Apple, Deezer and Qobuz are all great with this but with Deezer being the standout .
Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music
There are multiple ways to search for similar or new music when streaming. The most common way is to manually scroll down the page to find ‘Similar Artists’ – when currently listening to a particular artist. Different streamer apps have different approaches. Some offer a manual search only. Others offer both manual and automatic.
Which streamer apps do a great job? Which do not? EG: Innous Sense, Aurender Conductor, Auralic Lightning DS, Lumin, etc.
Please share your tips & experiences. With & without Roon.

This thread is not about comparing sound quality. Just the ease of discovering similar or new music.

I'm not a huge fan of the streaming services suggesting similar artists. I use the all music site https://www.allmusic.com/ which tells me more about the artist and seems to have a more accurate algorithm. As you move down the page it gets a little whacky but I've found a lot of great artists. A better method for me is to look at the credits for an album I look and then click on the engineer or producer to see what other albums they've worked on. |
Glad to turn a few folks on to Music-map. I understand wanting to find new music vs. music that's the same. I listen to new stuff for three reasons, 1) Keep current and show my 12 Year old Niece I'm not some old guy listening to a lot of old/dead musicians. I really like Taylor Swift, sue me. 2) Find new bands/singers that fit my typical tastes. 3) Find new music that is totally unlike my typical tastes. I have heard some really good Hip Hop. It took me a while to understand that Hip Hop is not the same as Rap. @elliottbnewcombjr - Mandolin Orange! Great stuff. That's one I found last year. |
