I totally recommend Radio FIP (France Inter Paris) for anyone a little frustrated with Spotify. I listen to this for hours each day. I love every one of those hours.

Unlike Spotify, expert DJs select a wide range of music from genres that span the globe. Throughout the day, FIP curates an eclectic mix of genres—from jazz to rock, world music to classical—ensuring that I'm constantly exposed to various musical worlds without needing to curate or chase playlists myself.

FIP's programming is uninterrupted by DJs or ads, allowing for a seamless, immersive listening experience. The station's French commentary, when it occurs, adds a touch of charm without becoming a distraction, making it easy to "set it and forget it."

Do yourself a favour...

KEXP as well. My Apple Music consumption has gone way down after discovering this amazing terrestrial radio station. They put on great concerts also that can be viewed on YouTube.
Very much appreciate the suggestion. Thank you. I love these curated streams. Really good to have in the background. One I found a long time ago is Radio Paradise.

Edit: Love these wide curated music. I think what makes me love FIP and RP is it puts you into a good/mellow/calm mood.

I can not find a lot music in the app despite my solid french.
