Music Discovery in MM5 ? any add-on or feature ?

Hi kind users of MM5,

I wondered what you're using for "music discovery" these days ?
ie, what tool/site/app/add-on has your music library, and suggests music you should listen to ?

. sounds like MM used to have a LastfM add-on, but that doesn't seem to run on MM5 (plus I couldn't find anyway to have my LastFM suggestions play in my MM5 - always suggested to use a Spotify account)
. there seem to be plenty of Music Discovery services nowadays (Spotify, BandCamp, LastFM, Sage...), but none integrated into MM5 (unless I miss something)
here is a list of 10 of them https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/row/en/b ... know-about
. the "Browser" view in MM5>Artists under YouTube is the closest I found - it suggests "Related Artists" to the one you're listening to;
- but not Titles per the titles of your library;
- nor Artists that could match the different titles your listen to / the overall music in your library.

So the YouTube section in MM5 is a great one (for many other reasons), but I'm sure there are other ways to discover new tunes per the ones in our MM5 library.

So many thanks for your suggestions !

Hi,

it seems LastFM is the closest thing to what I was looking for.
And I managed to have it work with both MM5 and MMA. (hadn't been able to until now)

In an ideal world, the suggestions would play in MM5 - but YouTube is already great :)

Thanks ! 8)
