[Edited to add Plexamp Sonic Sage and Roon options]
Just for a bit of fun, lets rate the music service algorithms! Some users enjoy the music discovery from radios/stations/mixes on various music services. Based on a thread about Roon and its recommendation engine/radio I thought it would be fun to compare the mixes based on a song created by different music services subjectively and see which one we like the most. If anyone has Roon let me know and I'll fire you a song to give us a Roon option for the next poll - is it worth the $$$? Obviously easier to rate if the music is up your alley so we'll try some different genres.
Interesting (for me anyway!) to compare their strategies, popular vs deep cuts, artist variety etc.
This poll is the first eight songs of mixes based on "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel. Which mix would you enjoy the most?
