I particularly like that Marvis can show a playlist as a collection of albums, and can sort them randomly, which has been great for both general browsing, like flipping through records, and rediscovering forgotten albums.

I use Apple Music, scrobbling to last.fm with NepTunes on the Mac, and Marvis on my phone. Marvis is especially good at creating a custom interface with smart playlists, etc, if you have the patience to fiddle with it.
