I want to get off spotify, but I want a way to discover new music, and be notified of new music from bands I listen to. I don’t want ads, and I’m fine with piracy so long it is a relatively painless experience. Something like stremio but for music.
My dream service would be one that could recommend music based on a given song, and provide details about the artist and things. And even better version would have an API I could tap into so I could connect the service to music assistant. Hell I’ll make a (mostly) locally hosted version of the spotify dj if I can.
poiskm.net is my favorite way to nab obscure songs mainly from the Former Soviet Union, not super relevant for you but I might as well give it a shoutout here because it is a good ad-free service for discovering new music
Edit: Linux Mint also comes prepackaged with Shortwave, fun little radio app
