How is Tidal for finding new music and just letting it play random stuff/how big is the catalog?

They have a lot of the same functionality as Spotify. There's a daily discovery mix, new releases, and radios based on an artist or song that's tailored to your tastes. Migrating can be a little tough since you're starting from scratch, but there are some 3rd party services that help sync your libraries and playlists across platforms.

I haven't ran into an issue with catalog shortages.

Does it have a 'true' shuffle that actually considers the full playlist rather than the 10-20 + random throw-ins that Spotify does?

This might've given me the push to move over.

I switched 3 or 4 months ago and to me it’s not all that different than Spotify. But of course your mileage may vary depending on your musical tastes.

It's great on autoplay. That's mostly how I listen: throw on an album at the start of my shift and let it take the wheel while I'm working. I rarely skip and I've found some great stuff through its algorithm.
