Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Good selection, but their algorithm wasn't great. Ex. I would be listening to a metal song, and it would pull up Rolling Stones next. Yes those are both things I enjoy listening to, but if I'm blasting Korpiklaani, I'm probably not in the mood for Beast of Burden.

Not too much of an issue, since I usually listen to albums, but still annoying. I've had much better luck with Tidal's algorithm.

That's exactly what YouTube Music always did for me. In fact, it would do that after just one or two songs. I tell it to play an artist or a specific album and the 2nd or 3rd song would be completely unrelated, along with everything after it. It was like it never even considered any sort of continuity unless I was playing a specific playlist made ahead of time.

Just started trying Qobuz a few days ago, so it can't possibly be any worse than what I was already dealing with there.
