What is the best service for legit new/unknown music discovery. A decade or so ago, I remember listening to a podcast that claimer Pandora used 100+ data points in a song to analyse and provide recommendations.
Was that ever true? And if so, a decade on I don’t feel any services I know do that. I feel like if I listen to something from Adult Contemporary (or any other category), they just give me the top 300 songs from that, in some random, made up list.
I’m not saying Spotify is bad, it’s just nothing rarely surprises me.
Who has the best recommendations for new, unheard, non-popular music that is actually like the song you are listening to?

Blueplayer app on iPhone.
YouTube Music hands down
Ignoring sound quality topic here, I’m talking about music discovery algorithm
For REALLY Rare and REALLY unknown music you can check Various Artist - Topic channels.
well i know its not tidal or amazon
Spotify. By far.
Agree 100%. I have found more new music on Spotify then I ever did on Apple Music or pandora, or even tidal.
Last.fm … way to find similar artists
15 years ago maybe. Now Spotify is unbeatable.
Honestly I’ve not found anything to work even close to as well as what Pandora did 10 years ago. It introduced me to most of the music that I listen to still today
Amazon Music has a decent discovery playlist based on your past choices.
Bandcamp and last fm is also decent
I have no streaming service rn i find my music in the deepest dark corners of fringe self hosted websites.
There is nothing more satisfying than revisiting a site you ripped songs from only to discover it got taken down and you are now the only gateway.
