This post was originally going to be titled “How does music discovery on Apple Music compare to Spotify these days?” but I want to make it more broad.

All advice and ideas appreciated!

Depending on what I am looking for:

BBC Radio 6: mainly new stuff, although I have been surprised with very good oldies.
The newsletter To the teeth for all things metal https://totheteeth.substack.com/ The playlist in spotify is really good too.
Last.fm, even if it's not as used anymore, I still find very good recommendations there.
Spotify Discovery playlist has surprised me a lot in the past, but not that much lately. It suggests me what I was in the mood to listen to last week, maybe not that much today. The daily mixes are fine, but it's pushing the same songs too much.
The website https://1001albumsgenerator.com even if I am not a fan of some genres, it's good to learn about some records.

From this same thread I am sure I will use https://www.gnoosic.com in the future.
