Looking for a Spotify replacement (sh.itjust.works)

By that I mean randomly generated playlists. Based on either one or multiple tags, songs or artists. Finite or infinite.

Ideally it would allow combining local sources with remote ones for discovering new music. Thinking along the lines of audioscrobbler, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Maybe one could even hook into Spotify's API, of they allow that.

Does something like this exist? I'm currently running Navidrome and while it's pretty and functional, it's very much a classic Mediaplayer, that just happens to be a website.

Plex with a Tidal subscription. Treats tidal as if it is local in your library and seamlessly integrates with your own collection.

Listen with plexamp.

Holy crap. I have Tidal on my phone and Plex at home. I didnt know I could connect them. Thank you!

Question: if you get a Tidal subscription through Plex on the main/admin account, is it available for all users that have access to the music library? Or only for that main user?

The Tidal subscription is only available for the account that subscribed to Tidal. Other users can also subscribe themselves, but it's per user.

Ah thanks so much for the clarification! That's exactly the info I wanted

Can't really answer, but if the library was available to all your Plex users, Tidal probably has countermeasures for that or maybe would ban your account.

Seeing 10 different songs (assuming you had 10 users streaming at the same time) being pulled from their servers from a single account would definitely raise suspicions.

Maybe you can get away with it if you have a Family type account with Tidal.

If there are only 2-3 of you, maybe it's worth a try though.
