Interesting. My method for finding new or similar music to what I have in my library is to use TasteDive. Crowd-Sourced, so you get a 'real world' recommendation. It can be a little bit of work, but I find it quite effective. TasteDive also works for movies and a lot of other things. It does have an API tho I've never explored that side. I'm not sure what software would interface with their API.

Oooh, this is new to me. I'm going to give TasteDive a look. Thanks!

You bet. I am a huge music fan. I create it, I listen to it, from Opera to Death Metal and anything in between. My heart belongs to Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, and Funk tho.

I also hopped back into ListenBrainz and Last.fm within the last year. Exactly like you said--they're not trying to sell something, so it was interesting to go back and see just how much that influences the recommendations.
The suggestions are better, I'm building up a local library again, and not paying for Spotify. What's not to love?
