For dance music, as a DJ, I find the best way is to find an artist through their song being played in a set I listen to, then check that artist's label for more. I can then buy / follow on Bandcamp to be alerted of new releases. I hear alot of talk about labels becoming obsolete nowadays, but they're great for this use case.
For ambient music, I also make a site (https://flowful.app) which procedurally generates ambient music for you. I have a Discord of people who use it, where theres a section for people to share music. Most of the new ambient stuff I find now is through there.

Yeah you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do to update it

yeah that's cool, thanks. What's your stream?

The fact that you'd consider making that switch is just awesome to me, so thanks! :)
For resources, theres a great site here as an intro to generative systems - https://teropa.info/loop/
And for communities, I have made a Discord for Flowful where I plan to post updates and how-its-made type stuff. The link is in the top right of the Flowful app, feel free to join!

That's a cool idea. Something that was suggested to me with Flowful was to use some sort of body triggers, perhaps from facial recgonition through your device's camera, to determine when the user was becoming less focused. The music could then adapt to help them get back on track.
So many cool possibilities.

Yeah that's not a bad way of putting it. Each musical part will use the samples in a different way each time though, with some randomness added, so it hopefully stops things from being too recognisable.

uhh, right now.. it's not the most user friendly. You can delete the fields that the site places in your localStorage (can be done by clearing your cache for this site).
The selections from the question just decide a) what's in your recommended section and b) what category you start on when you first load the app.
I get it, theyre a dime a dozen and yeah spending hours on hours configuring multiple of them is probably a waste of time.
But why not take advantage of some of the nice software thats out the for this sort of thing? I wouldnt write down or rememeber half the stuff that I do if I hadnt invested a few hours into finding something id actually use. I doubt people are actually forgoing their creative passions or falling behind in their sprints to tweak note taking apps
