Spotify is outstanding in this regard. "Go to radio" from any given track or album; works every time. For even more passive discovery, their "discover weekly" and "release radar" do a good job of surfacing things too.

"discover weekly" was okay, but it is now completely broken to me. It suggests 80-90% of songs I already downloaded, and the remainder are always the same. Also discover weekly stops after, what, 2-3hrs of listening. Then the list is done and apparently Spotify thinks there's no more to discover.

Luckily indeed there's the radio feature.

Sorry but Spotify is absolutely horrible in this regard. At least for me.

Every group I like pick "Radio" and with in 2 to 4 songs it's playing completely unrelated stuff.

The rest has all been crap too. "discover weekly" has never once suggested a single thing I'm interested in ever.
