    What do you recommend to me so I can easily download and discover music that’s not spotify. You hate them but it seems they’re the top of the game right now

      pandora has a really good recommendation algorithm. but for downloading? I recommend Deezer. you can download music with deemix-gui to download to mp3, wav, flac

      Youtube music is pretty good on recommendations and its free with youtube premium so i think its a vastly more valuable service. (Or just use music revanced and get it for free)

      Bandcamp has recommendations

      Allmusic.com has “similar artists” and browse-by-genre and -style (and mood and theme etc)

      Everything you listen to on YouTube sends you down a new rabbithole

      Discogs.com has recommendations

      Allmusic is 100% my favorite place to find new recommendations. I get to actively hunt instead of being fed by an algorithm (though they have too many ads now).

      If you absolutely must be a $p0tify zombie who is mentally unable to find recommendations literally everywhere else in our music-obsessed world then you can still buy the albums you like to actually support the artists instead of basically pirating through a big tech app.
