its hard to beat the convenience of being able to right click/radio to get new recommendations but there has to be other options that arent that much more effort either?

i think you can add plugins to jellyfin. maybe there is a last.fm plugin? i know of some other last.fm alternatives like maloja or libre.fm but i cant comment on how good they are

Sure, but then what - A script to pirate the song? Or would your script generate the playlist and automatically buy the tracks from bandcamp?
