Personally, the open source community's aversion to algorithms is what's holding me back. Say what you will about them, but I've found many great songs thanks to Spotify's algo.
It's not so much an aversion to algorithms as it is a version to corporate controlled algorithms (which are often targeting highly questionable metrics).
We'll they do also like to they you too just get good. Which can be a bit overwhelming when your are okay l just looking for music.
Soulseeks recommendation algorithm is top notch, almost organic. You click the 'browse users files' button.
I've found many juat streaming themed internet radio on Radiodroid.
If you're just looking for an engine that recommends you music based off your likes, the FOSS community could utilize the Music Genomoe Project to build a tool too do that based one a folder or Playlist of music provided to it. I would be surprised if there already wasn't a FOSS tool to do that.
