Great music selection without overthinking

3•cr34t1ve•46m ago
There are times (now more than ever) where picking music seems to be a proper task. Having to figure out I'm in the mood for can be so tiring that I just hit shuffle and settle with the next best thing. Does anyone else get this? What's your recent experience?

Pick an album or ask an LLM for an album. Or radio on a song I like.

How does the LLM get context on what you like? How often do you radio on songs?

I have three moods; listening to music i haven't heard before, listening to music i haven't listened to in a long time (like over 6 months), or listening to some music that i have been recommended to by friends or the rare times of letting an algorithm decide for me.

I usually utilize P2P as a library kind of thing; listen to an album or so from an artist or band or composer... then delete it; while i keep the ones i really enjoy and would do with the second mood.

I rarely ever stream; it's the bane of musical diversity.

I have been testing Spotify's DJ .. I tell it to play new songs based upon my 20 playlists and exclude AI, rap and hiphop. Often the DJ does a good job with mixing my playlists with new music. Sometimes it is way off. To be fair it is in Beta.
