I thought about (and still want to) keep a self-hosted music library, but one of the things i look forward to is the New Music playlist that updates every Friday on YTM. I’ve found so many good songs and artists that way.
Music scrobbling solves that issue for me. Navidrome integrates well with for example last.fm. In addition to having my music listening history there one can find recommendations based on their music taste
I scrobble my listens using Last.fm and ListenBrainz, which has given me some decent recommendations. It’s worked well enough for me. Maybe I’m “missing out” on more recommendations by not being on Spotify or other streaming service, but I still manage to find so much to listen to organically anyway. Also like @HouseOfJazz@lemmy.world, YouTube recommendations work too.
Then how do you learn about new music?

Just use YouTube for new music and try it out there. Then download what you really want.
