So, imagine I’m using any sort of streaming server. Is there ANY of them that have the ability to suggest new stuff, which is the number 1 and only reason I still use Spotify?
If anyone could answer this including the setup they have to run it, that would be awesome.
There isn’t really anything like Spotify. There were attempts to use a service like Last.fm (which isn’t self hosted) or libre.fm (which is self hosted but development has been stopped) to track your listening data. Then there were a couple discovery projects that worked with Navidrome (don’t really remember the name but they’re probably somewhere in r/selfhosted) but they haven’t been very succesful.
Even if you somehow managed to solve those problems you’ve got the next problem which is the fact that you don’t have the recommended song available in your library. Perhaps it could be solved wit Lidarr.
Personally I think Spotify is worth $10 a month.
