The desk I'm at abuts a shipping department and a ½doz tape guns. I have earbuds, headphones and Tidal & (self hosted) Navidrome.

I need noise and not vocals. I hunt for artists here: https://www.music-map.com/

Usable finds this week: Yomi Ship, sleepmakeswaves, Mt.Mountain.

Discards this week: Lord Loud, Phil Thorton, Luciferian Light Orchestra, Liquid Sound Company, Gandalf, black midi, Jadu Jadu, Jagannatha.

The latter aren't bad at all, just not a good fit.

I see. What would you like to see in a good solution?

Tidal is in the right position to be a solution but it's recommendations, playlists and UI all need improvement. They're not useless but fall well short of what they're capable of.

To expand on that, I should note that crafting playlists for others is hard. A large selection of playlists is the way to go and maybe a voting system.

I think Tidal's playlists are curated by their users - which is good. But given the size of Tidal's userbase, the selection of playlists is thin. IDK why that is; I haven't tried to make my own playlist.

I searched for sleep playlists on tidal and found 2. One seemed like it's creator had never experienced sleep. Some of the tracks would have made decent alarms.

For a free discovery system, music-map is pretty good. I used Gnoosic long ago but it's primitive. I don't know what else is out there.
