    I believe plexamp will scan your library and will make the discovery-type playlist you’re looking for

      First of all, after recent events I’m not touching anything from “Plex” with a proverbial 10 foot pole.

      But even that aside, no it won’t do what I want because it can’t. I can’t discover something outside of my library with it. It’s a music player for a Plex library. It can generate playlists of songs with similar styles, and that’s nice and all, but not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for playlists of things I don’t own, or know, or ever heard of, but that are still likely to be something I like. I don’t want a sophisticated “shuffle”.

        I was addressing this part of what you said:

        Even if you have a vast collection of music you don’t know (by whatever means your get it), you still need the algorithms to pick the music that you’re likely to like.

        EDIT: also, fwiw, I didn’t downvote you lol.
