But it's buggy.
My strategy is to use YouTube and SoundCloud's recommendation engines solely to find artists - not listen. If I like the few samples I hear, I copy-paste their URL into ytdl-sub with their respective genre (https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub).
This will download their entire discography on a cron job and properly tag them. Then use your favorite self hosted music app to put that genre on shuffle (I use MusicBee). Smart-playlists and proper tagging go a long way for making 'discovery' playlists. If it's an artist I really like, I will 'upgrade' them to a better quality via soulseek or torrents.
While it's not fully automated, I've found this workflow to work better than anything else. I am biased because I am the author ☺️
I was in search of something similar. I have a discography on my servers and was looking for a self hosted solution to generate playlists according to some mood tweeking. Like a cron job at midnight creating 10 playlists from all my discography with some basic filtering: classical, metal, calm, high beat, etc...
So far I found nothing.
Navidrome can do this with smart playlists. I wouldn't call it recommendations - it's not smart enough from that - but you can absolutely create a smart playlist that will randomly pick a given number of songs from certain genres, that are (not) recently played, etc. that will refresh every time it's accessed
Not exactly new music, but Plex with Plexamp and it’s sonic adventure feature really changed my musical life rediscovering stuff I have on disk since decades now.
Someone let me know if something's out there. Pretty happy with Plex but I miss the music recommendations
