- Jannik SiebertSoftware Architect @mohemian · WrittenSpotify already has great features included! 'Discover Weekly' is one of them, but also 'Playlist/Song Radio' 🎶Ouriel OhayonKZen, CEO / Co-founder isai (VC) · Writtenby far the best. hands down. nothing comes even close to the quality of the recommendations and the simplicity of the experienceSpotify Discover in general is amazing. I have found so many great artists using Spotify's Browse > Discover section.
- Sean-Michael DoreLA Based Music Industry Nerd · WrittenBuilt by the folks who created We Are Hunted (acquired by Twitter and relaunched as #Music in 2013)Hayatt BaanksPlaylist curator · WrittenCreated by a music genius and used daily by some of the best ears across the globe. Only place I can truly say I find some of the best unheard of artists and their music!
- Anthony RecenelloDating Coach and Head of Wolf & Garden · EditedFor ten bucks a month, I am presented with thousands of newly curated playlists in every which form there could ever be. Further, they have real radio stations with DJs that actually care about good music, and not just putting out the top 16 hit songs of the month. I don't possibly know how my music discovery system could get any better than Apple Music.Similar like Spotify Discover Weekly, there is a playlist called "My New Music Playlist". Updated Weekly. And there are a lot of new playlists daily on your "For you" Tab. I love it.
- Still rocks! It has web-version, unofficial Mac client called Plug and apps for iOS and Android.Dominik SerafinTrying to get out of the bubble. · WrittenHype Machine is just simply the best for discovery of less known tracks & remixes. Nothing compares to it!
- Kesava Mandiga14Curious cat. Writer. Explorer. · WrittenI've been using Noon Pacific for a few weeks now and it's a simple, curated list of good new songs. Easy to use and no hassles with subscriptions.Nick Di StefanoSenior Product Designer · WrittenThey also have a daily subscription offering that gets you a text with link to new song ($1.99/mo)
- Noah Huber-FeelyBusiness Owner, Noah's Arc Development · WrittenI have found great success with the "I'm Feeling Lucky" radio feature which has worked very well for discovery every time I've used it. They also have given me great recommendations for new releases, and I've usually found at least one gem each day from both features. I've been using this service for over a year, and have found it to fulfill all my discovery needs.
- Jordan FinniganDeveloper @ Dealer Inspire · WrittenIt's hard to believe this hasn't been mentioned yet... With all of the data they have from years and years of scrobbling (i.e. "listening" -- 1 song play = 1 "scrobble"), Last.fm is my #1 place for finding new music to listen to. It recommends based on your listening habits, or by the habits of others who like that same artist/album/song. Give it a go!

This is a really great product and the subscribers are treated so well. Ive been to several TIDAL sponsored events and they are top notch.
