        That sounds cumbersome as hell.

        I want my song to end and my player to start automatically playing similar songs that are also curated based on my larger listening habits.

  There’s many blogs where you can discover music and unlike algorithms you get more diversity and nice descriptions. If you listen to a lot of hip hop it’s even easier by looking the featured artists

    Spotify does a phenomenal job of learning what I like and auto-playing a mix of things after I finish a song or album that aren’t just in the same genre but are also based on my taste profile that’s developed on – all with zero effort on my part. And I can still discover things via blogs too.

    There just isn’t anything like that available in the self-hosted world yet, unfortunately.
