By that I mean randomly generated playlists. Based on either one or multiple tags, songs or artists. Finite or infinite.
Ideally it would allow combining local sources with remote ones for discovering new music. Thinking along the lines of audioscrobbler, Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Maybe one could even hook into Spotify’s API, of they allow that.
Does something like this exist? I’m currently running Navidrome and while it’s pretty and functional, it’s very much a classic Mediaplayer, that just happens to be a website.
Lidarr has an option to import lists from spotify and lastfm. I’ve used it to import the release radar and discover weekly playlists to lidarr, but haven’t figured out a way how to get the playlist generated in plex aside from manually importing the m3u file. Lastfm is also really good if you have scrobbling enabled on your plex, so you can keep your recommendations updated.
Plexamp is really nice, especially if you have plexpass so you can take advantage of the sonic analysis. Sonic analysis helps give it a spotify discovery experience with its artist mix, similar sounding artists/albums/tracks and the sonic adventure is always fun.
