How does it compare to "go to song radio" on Spotify?
Not remotely close. Plexamp dies have the same radio features Spotify has and they have their purpose, but those "Guest DJs" as Plexamp calls them are different.
First of all, song radios do very often just include roughly the same styles of the original song, mix them up a bit. This specific "guest DJ" holds the style almost exactly if at all possible with the songs you have access to.
Secondly, it is not a Radio. It injects itself into a running playlist (which can be generated by sonic analysis as well, different topic). So you'd have your regular playlist going, notice that the style of that one song that's playing right now is exactly what you want now, have it hold the style and when You're getting tired of it,.you switch it off and the regular playlist will continue.
That's super nice! One of the biggest things keeping me on Spotify has been just how much new music I'm able to find that I enjoy because of its algorithm. This feature is one I'm sorely missing though so I'll have to check out plexamp!
Spotify would just play the same.few things over and over and over after a while for me. Especially since their algorithm will bend over backwards to only play 1-2 songs per album.
With the features of plexamp I regularly get songs I'd go "ouh, haven't heard that one in quite a while" about.
That might be only me though. I encourage everyone to try plexamp with tidal for one month (which is free on tidal, not for plexamp). The free version of plexamp lacks many of the features, sadly.
