What do you recommend for playing deeper tracks from artists I follow? I don't like to like songs, I either want to like entire artists or just listen. I'm also relying pretty heavily on daily and weekly mixes synced to my phone, for the car, since I don't have cell service around where I liv nowe. Like, at all, and spotty for hundreds of miles.
I used Google Play Music back in the day, and they were great about this, but YT Music took a major step back. Even if it's better now, I'm trying to extricate my life from Google.
Pandora has this concept of modes, where you can choose to listen to Deep Cuts, Crowd Faves, New Releases or Discovery for a given station. The problem is:
I used Apple Music for maybe 18 months between Spotify stints, after YT Music. I was trying to switch over to the Apple ecosystem, but am moving back to AOSP Android and Linux. I do like that the depth played from a given artist is a good bit better than Spotify, but I dislike that I can't either follow artists instead of liking songs, and can't easily get a list of liked songs to unlike in the future.
There is not a single app for this. For recommendations I now sometimes use last.fm and for songs I use blackhole (even though i have 4 months of spotify premium remaining). Blackhole luckly has a song download option and I can use it with any of my media player and I can't believe I am saying this but it has a better song recommendation then spotify.
But if you want to spam 1 artist I would say just search on spotify. you will get a playlist like "this is (artist name) ". That has good songs and you can download that playlist too. But What i do is just search it on blackhole and go to town. Download what I like and jam all the way.
