What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over? (lemmy.world)

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

Is it weird that I don't use any of these streaming services and just use my own library via FTP (if I'm not at home)?

I installed Navidrome for that

I could google that, but I'm in a chatty mood 😂, could you explain what that is?

It's a self-hosted music streaming service, based on the subsonic protocol. I set it up with an nginx reverse proxy so I'm able to access it from many compatible apps without a VPN, I use Symfonium on my phone and the integrated web UI on my computer.

Mmm, that is actually really cool 👍, I'll have to look into that, maybe change the way I stream my media from my NAS. Thanks for the info ☺️.
