What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over? (lemmy.world)

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.

The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.

YouTube Music is what I use. You can start a radio from a song, and it’ll play new music. You can also change the Up Next to different styles if you want familiar or new music.

I should also add that with YouTube Revanced you can make the app ad free, which is the primary reason I use it over other music streaming

Man I didn't even know those buttons existed. I thought I always had to go through the music tuner to land in a "discover" playlist tuned to certain artists. This is so much easier, thanks!!

Also YouTube music will play random tracks uploaded to YouTube that are not licensed on other streaming services
