I use Spotify, started last year, but I've run into a lot of issues with how limited its library is. I assume Lastfm isn't much more expensive.

Last.fm's streaming feature simply uses YouTube, so unlike Spotify it can play stuff uploaded by fans. It's free and you can basically try it without even having an account. The site is more suited to listening to mp3s on your hard drive and simply giving you statistics on what you've already heard, more so than organising what you plan to listen to/evaluate in the future. For the latter I keep track of things by using playlists in foobar2000 on desktop.
What you can do on Last.fm is create your own playlists or tags. For example, go through all the new albums you want to randomly hear tracks from and tag them as "cig filth 2026". Then play the radio for that tag. How well it works depends on whether the songs are on YouTube and Last.fm has ingested the correct tracklist and matches them correctly. Also, there's nothing stopping others from using the same tag. Though if you wanna hear a bunch of tracks in a specific order, you may as well just create the playlist on YouTube directly.
The main paid feature I use on Last.fm is just the scrobble editing. If I had an mp3 with a typo I want to fix or I listened to standalone tracks but want to assign them to albums later to make my album stats more complete, I can go in and do that OCD stuff.
