While we are here, does anyone know of an open source implementation of a recommendation algorithm? I currently pay for YTM for my family and while it is the Bee's Knees now, I can see the coming enshittification and would like to start planning ahead. Thanks!

I've seen a few recommendations for ListenBrainz lately, but I haven't tried it yet so I can't say

It's nice :)

I second this, very nice indeed!

I also use their Picard software to check the downloaded album, then it updates the metadata automatically and places them in the appropriate folder structure.

It's good for similar artist recommendations, but I typically prefer looking for music by similar track. There's not a way to do this with brainz is there? I'm pretty happy with Tidal's feature for this but always looking for others.

no indeed, I don't think it's that specific. I mainly browse the weekly exploration playlist, based on my listens, which either recommends other of my favorite songs that I hadn't listened yet, or unknown songs that usually fit my styles. Enough for me to cut the subscriptions 🥳

I didn't know that it could arrange the music too. That would have been really handy a few years ago >.<

Same. Just finished organizing 8000 flacs the hard way which may not be a lot, but it sure felt like it.. lol
