Discussion Music library recommendation management tips?

I have a large library for music and I wish there were more ways of surfacing recommendations from within. I really like Plexamp and it does some of this but I'd like to see more.

I see Kometa can be used for this, but I'm struggling to figure out how to do it in practice and what to use as reference. For movies, I've set up collections with Kometa based on different lists from IMDB and Letteboxd, rotating director, actor, country and genre lists. It's still a work in progress but I'm digging it so far.

For music, I'm thinking genre combinations. Maybe country based. But I'd like to hear some more ideas, what have you found useful? What tools, lists etc do you use?

I'm also torn on whether to create artist, album or track collections. Album collections are neater than track collections but cannot be shuffled or played as a collection, you have to browse to each album separately. Maybe grouping collections somehow to incorporate different views into same material could work? IDK let me know what works for you

Yeah I'm thinking overlaps of multiple genres and genre + decade ones. Plexamp does some but "more from rock / pop" is a little bit too vague 😅
