I have yet to find an algorithm that has figured out what I like about music. So I curate my own collection. Only way it works for me.

It's all good. I think it has a lot more to do with accommodating one's own brain, and how we individually categorize and enjoy our listening, than with specifics of music like genre/artist/album/track.

For myself, I almost always have some tune or another out of nowhere running through my head, so when I choose something to listen to, I am either picking with or against what's already playing. So if I tune in to the music that's already playing, I can see associated choices that are the same, similar, or completely unrelated on a superficial level, but my brain has linked them all somehow. Any of those choices, if I put them on, will satisfy because my brain is already playing one and mentally I'm already there.

I think the reasons algorithms never work for me is because no one could ever follow that, much less predict it. Even I can't. Instead I've learned to simply accommodate it.
