Of course I have. Specifically RadioParadise(.com) is great for this, which I've listened to through winamp's shoutcast as well (multiple decades ago). I've even been a supporter for all those decades at this point. But it's a very far cry away from the personalized (discovery) playlists. The efficiency diffference for discovering music is orders of magnitude: I find maybe 1-3 songs a month compared to 5+ in a week for discovery playlists (somtimes less, usually more). You can even skip songs you don't like on there, but that still doesn't make up for it being universal and not personalized.
It's nice as a palate cleanser, or when I don't wanna put effort into selecting what to play. But I'd lose my mind listening to it for truly extended periods of time. The music is great, and the (human) selection is superb, but just by the nature of personal taste, I only like around 30% of the music I'd say.
