How do you discover new music while avoiding AI generated ones? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been looking for a way to discover new music. Spotify used to be quite good, but now I feel like 10% of the stuff it recommends me is AI slop.

How do you navigate the music-scape?

Curious how you are using Spotify.ย 

I learn about new music by playing Spotify song radio based on a song I like, and then adding the good songs I discover to a playlist.

Any standouts I listen to the whole album and research the artist.

Its not as good as when I was in high school and cross pollinating with the other music nerds bit it is ok.

    At first (+10 years ago), I would just play albums friends recommended or of artists I knew I liked; Then I transitioned to playlists I found, then I let spotify mix in songs and slowly let spotify's algorithm take up more and more of my suggestions.

    After a while I noticed it getting more and more stale, recycling music I already liked and looping it.

    More recently, it's just completely off 1/2 the time, and suggesting very boring music that I suspect they commissioned and own the rights for. The playlists are all "made by Spotify" and are similar to the auto suggestions.

    So I stopped using Spotify suggestions, then, as the UI got more and more bloated with stuff I don't care for (merch, podcasts, audiobooks), I straight up switched to Qobuz for its clean UI.

    But now my recommendations come from Youtube or friends.

    Which is why I made this post :) (which has turned out to be a gold mine!)
