Both Tidal and Qobuz have related artists, albums, and tracks you can use to find new music similar to an artist, album or song you like. Tidal has suggested tracks as part of its play queue features. Tidal and Qobuz both will play similar music at the end of a play queue (you have to enable it in Qobuz, I believe it’s the default in Tidal). I am using the macOS versions of both software though so I have no idea how well Tidal Connect works wrt these features. I’m also not sure how similar this functionality is to what you experience with Pandora. I have spent hours digging into related artist, tracks, and albums on both services though and let plenty of playlists or queues play through to the point that the service chooses the next track. I’ve had Pandora and don’t miss it at all, and of course sound quality is much better on Tidal and Qobuz.
??? Why Don't More Streaming Services Do This ???
I’ve had Pandora + for many many years now..I’ve tried Tidal,Spotify & Qobuz but after having access to the unique Pandora search algorithm those other services seem too difficult to find new music & artists..
With Pandora + I just have to enter 1 single song or artist & an entire world of similar style music & artists opens up..To me,those other services are like owning an huge library of music without the ability to easily explore similar styles or artists...
Yes I will admit the quality of sound from the other services is slightly better,but not enough for me to justify the extra cost on a monthly basis..Why don’t these other services offer a suggestion/search algorithm similar to Pandora in addition to the higher resolution they offer?
