How would that work? For games or software in general, something executable, I get it, but content beside mind blowing proof of concept, I have a hard time codecs can be hijacked so that such a payload gets to do anything via e.g. VLC or mpv.

Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way

I would actually use Audio-Galaxy Satellite P2P again to find new music.

Had one of the best artist recommendation algorithms ever.

For your local music library tastes, it would first crossmatch to find other users who had the most similarity to your collection, then recommend you the artists that they had, that you didn't.

Simple and elegant.

* As mentioned elsewhere, Nicotine/Soulseek is the modern leader for recommendations.

I remember using their website to search for songs, select them for download and having their satellite client download them for me by the time i came home.
