this generally ties into my wish to liberate myself from prefabricated unimaginative catalogs and search boxes
a person's lifelong exploration of music has a more rich and complex structure than "liked albums" and "playlists"

this is related to a thing and i have discussed which i'm tentatively calling "tuning" - i want a music service that i can feed some kind of rich notion of (e.g. emotional) context to (to "tune" it), so that it can serve me music appropriate to that context
simple example is letting the service know i'm feeling angry or happy or sad but it could also, for example, learn over time a specific type of music to play when i'm working on specific projects, or when i'm focusing on musical exploration itself
