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.

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

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 🥳
