How would you like to navigate it? I'm curious about that design challenge.
Perhaps a "radio" playlist that randomly selects from a genre? Maybe a shuffle weighted towards infrequently played songs? Maybe some graph UI to browse related music and artists?
There are several ways that I discover new music. They are all intentful and do not rely on automatic recommendation or randomness:
- Following the trail of session musicians involved in albums that I like. For example, I've had great pleasure discovering Justin Adams' albums from his work with Robert Plant.
- Following the trail of record producers
- Browsing through albums of a given label that puts out albums I like
- Browsing by geographical area / time period. I love the Radiooooo UI https://app.radiooooo.com/
- Getting specific recommendations / playlists from friends or web people I trust
