Is there a Decentralised Spotify / Music Platform Alternative?
Is there a Decentralised Spotify / Music Platform Alternative?
So I know about Mastodon, Lemmy / Kbin, PeerTube, and Element but is there a Fediverse alternative to Music & Podcasts (preferably one that doesn't connect to Crypto)

Licensing issues aside, the most important thing to me about Spotify is the recommendation engine. Their weekly playlists that are autogenerated "Discovery Weekly" and "Release Radar" are amazing and places where I have discovered a TON of new really good music. Any service that I ever switch to would have to have something similar.
Really? Every time I've tried Spotify the playlists have been utterly dire. They just repeat the same select few songs over and over.
Well the two I mentioned are autogenerated brand new each week, so they never really repeat anything. At least not that I’ve noticed. Other playlists I don’t really listen to much.
I think they're probably referring to the auto-generated lists based on top artists the user has listened to. Those are extremely repeat heavy and is why I never use them. Weekly and Radar are terrific though, as you said.
Yeah that's completely fair enough, they do have some good suggestions and I guess it is the way people discover artists these days.
