Give me lidarr but with a smart daily generated playlist focus instead of collecting artist discographies

What was the service you could upload your own. Playlist and songs and share with friends? Last.fm? Something like that, shit was awesome.

I think last.fm might still exist. I just used it for the ‘scrobbling’ — stats way before Spotify Wrapped was a thing

There’s a federated platform called Funkwhale that’s very similar to that.

Yeah. I want a self-hosted Pandora alternative

Plex’s specialty audio client Plexamp is pretty good if you want to make your own “radio stations.” And if you have a Plex Pass, the server does “sonic analysis” of each track so it can do a good job of playing related music in its smart playlists.

Of course, Plex Pass ain’t free, but if you are in it for the long haul the lifetime purchase may be worth it.

(Everyone’s worried about Plex’s future right now but I would be surprised if they killed self-hosting. That’s another topic though.)
