I've tried a couple of other streaming services, but I keep coming back to Spotify for the Discover Weekly playlist. I've found so much news music I love through that.

The equivalent on Tidal and YouTube Music just don't quite do it for me. Tidal's changes daily, so I don't get through it, and didn't really give me much variety, and YouTube's changes every time you open the app. Also, one of the first tracks it recommended was Bad Bad Leroy Brown, as if everyone on the planet hasn't already heard that. :D

How's Qobuz for something like that?

Not good at all. But they have cool write ups about artists/labels/genres that are pretty great.

Yeah, they don't do much in terms of tracking your listening habits and suggesting playlists based on similar users (which I personally did not enjoy much on Spotify, for me it always repeated itself and rarely hit the spot), but they have some great curated playlists and editorial material. :)

Have you heard of ListenBrainz? I dunno how it be with Qobuz, haven't used Qobuz (yet…), but ListenBrainz could potentially track that for you and serve as your platform-independent statistics and recommendation algorithm (at least with Spotify, it is able to connect directly to your account. Dunno of any specific Qobuz integration, but there may be apps to track listens externally from any particular service)

I'm a long-time Last.fm user and that might another good option. It might be easier to connect Qobuz to Last.fm, and then connect Last.fm to ListenBrainz.

I recently did this myself and now I've got two places to go for recommendations.
