Seems redundant to get recommendations from your own mp3s. And "radio" would just be playlists on shuffle.

You can decouple discovery from offline music experience. Outside certain genres that I'm not deep into, there's almost nothing I get rec'd on Spotify that I didn't already know of from other sources.

I agree, I don’t need recommendations from my own library. I know when I am in the mood for a particular album, and if not, it’s much more pleasant to glance through my Artists list than to trust some jerk at Spotify to tell me what I want. Especially since they are now actively trying to replace the music on their mood playlists with royalty-free stock Muzak.

For discovery, there are plenty of (especially linear) streaming music sources that are dirt cheap or free, anyway.
