Could you explain a little more on what you mean by rss and scripts to get recommendations. I've never really messed with something like that. Any recomemended feeds or sum to look at.
Oh yeah, you can also, if you’re the kind of person who would do this, just be caveman about it and build a physical media library. Learn how to rip and sync the files to your device and you’re ready to go.
CDs are the easiest because all you need is a cd drive and a computer. Records and tapes need their specific player and an audio interface (or one of those all in one newfangled players that have a usb on the back).
It’s pretty fun…
Everything you need already exists, it’s just plumbing.
RSS takes in a website with articles or blog posts or whatever and makes them summarized so you can just look through the titles.
Some kind of script to load some recent plays of yours on YouTube and scrape, compare and output the recommended panel would give you their recs.
There are also very bad no good recommendation engines that don’t work. At least they were bad and didn’t work in the past.
