A few months ago, I switched from using mainly YouTube for music to a self-hosted solution. I download everything from Soulseek and really love it. But the one issue that I have is that it is pretty hard to find new music. With YouTube, I had recommendation that most of the time were pretty conservative but still sometimes offered something new.

So far the only solution to this that I found was using last.fm, but not really a fan of this solution. Does anyone have any better way to discover new music?

Vimusic is an open source youtube music client for android which has a radio feature + the ability to create playlists and follow artists. Great to disciver new songs.

If that doesn't suit you there is Recommelody, a flutter app that recommends music based on user favourites, using the Spotify Web API.

Thanks for suggestions, but those don't really help me if I want to use a self-hosted solution. I would have to either go back to YouTube or use Spotify.

Seconding ViMusic and adding using SpotX or XManager to use Spotify's service to discover stuff for you without having to pay.
