Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music

There are multiple ways to search for similar or new music when streaming.  The most common way is to manually scroll down the page to find ‘Similar Artists’ – when currently listening to a particular artist.  Different streamer apps have different approaches.   Some offer a manual search only.  Others offer both manual and automatic.   

Which streamer apps do a great job?  Which do not?  EG: Innous Sense, Aurender Conductor, Auralic Lightning DS, Lumin, etc.  

Please share your tips & experiences.   With & without Roon.

This thread is not about comparing sound quality.  Just the ease of discovering similar or new music.

I abhor creating my own playlists. Tedious. 95% of my listening is via suggested playlists or "radio" type features.

Spotify has the best suggestions. Of course it’s content isn’t the greatest quality.

Tidal does a pretty good job of providing customized suggestions. @steakster if you use a streamer that supports Tidal Connect, you can use the Tidal app to remote control your streamer. Best of both worlds. I don’t know if your streamer supports this (I use Lumin).

I keep hoping Qobuz will release a Qobuz Connect so I can drop Tidal (not a MQA fan).
