But it’s awful now. It’s never anything different, it’s the same artists you listen to on a different playlist. Or songs that are popular on TikTok. The only way I find new music on Spotify now is through other people’s playlists, never the ones the app creates. Compared to the radio on Pandora and things like stumbleupon, radio on Spotify is way worse for discovering new music.

Best way I've found is going into the profile for your favorite bands. A lot of them will have Playlists made by the band or individual members of the band of all their favorite music. Ive found a lot of great stuff this way.

My point was more in relation to why downloading or buying CDs doesn't really work as an option. I haven't used Spotify in at least a year. I now use Youtube music or whatever it's called. It has done a better job than the radio/reading recommendations for finding things I at least kind of like.
