There's many blogs where you can discover music and unlike algorithms you get more diversity and nice descriptions. If you listen to a lot of hip hop it's even easier by looking the featured artists

Spotify does a phenomenal job of learning what I like and auto-playing a mix of things after I finish a song or album that aren't just in the same genre but are also based on my taste profile that's developed over hours of listening habits -- all with zero effort on my part. And I can still discover things via blogs too.

There just isn't anything like that available in the self-hosted world yet, unfortunately.
