How do you discover music here? I could not figure it out. Do I have to log in? Why only via Google?

I am a huge music buff so I am always interested in ways to find new stuff to listen to.

I tried almost every recommendation service I could find.

So far, my favorite source of new music is http://www.gnoosic.com

If there is a way for me to try SoundMoose without a Google account I will happily check it out.

Go to the detail page by clicking the tiles or track titles, and look at related artists/tracks :)

Spotify also has pretty good recommendations, but requires people to be authenticated to use their recommendations API. Our recommendations currently come from Last.fm.

Is there a way to add the recommendations for an artist/track to the stream playlist?

i.e. if I search for an artist and press play on one of their tracks and let the stream keep playing it goes onto other tracks by that artist, but is there a way to get it to add related tracks too? Like the old last.fm artist radios.

edit: it's now doing that for me so maybe there was just something weird about the recommendations set earlier. Unfortunately I searched for some chilled out electronic stuff and the recommendations are all aggressive hip hop but that's not your fault I guess...

Thanks, found it! It looks like these are the Last.fm recommendations?
