I’m almost the opposite. I wish I had the ability to constantly be introduced to new sounds. I love the music I listen to, but always waiting for that next sound to pull my attention.
I do too, but the difficulty in finding new sounds means I keep going back to the same songs. They do slowly rotate out as a FIFO queue. But very slowly.
I got around this by developing smart playlists which rotate in stuff I like based on tags and then filtered by how recently the songs were heard or skipped.
However, this requires a truly autistic dedication to not only maintaining a local music collection, but tagging the shit out of it, and developing complex queries (in Quod Libet) to make smart playlists for all manner of different moods & hankerings.
If you are a computer-touchy autist with a local music collection though, Quod Libet might just be the tool for you. I do abuse playlists as tags because the UX is better in a lot of ways.
One possible reason: the unique sensation when a 3-star song I've been listening to for a decade suddenly "pops" and becomes a fave is like nothing else

For me its a few artists where I like pretty much everything they have done but ends up being tons of songs.
