A music for ppl who like to listen whole albums and keep track of what they discover (and maybe share it with friends). Something like Goodreads, but for music. Original HN post: h…

That's slightly different from my experience, in which I built a niche social network for music explorers, but it also has bookmarking features. I noticed a sustained usage from ve…

Throughout all these years, I got convinced that human recommendations (those from a close circle of friends I trust) are the best source of music discovery. [Shameless plug] That'…

I always loved listening to music. However, the past few years I started more actively exploring new (old) music around the world and actually listening to whole albums. (I'm alway…

Nice to see last.fm on the front page, it brings back fun memories when we were mocking each other about leaving the player playing all night just to get the stats up. Shameless pl…

Totally agreed. Even though YouTube's Related Videos section is at times very decent for music recs., human recommendations are unparalleled. That's actually one of the reasons I'v…

> I haven't switched out of table view since I started using the site. Also I've been almost exclusively using the mobile site, you do have to scroll in list view to see the notes.…

Hey thanks for the report, this should be fixed by now.

That's what the "Notes" text field in My Lists (make sure you switch to the table view) is for. Have you seen it? Also, you can add tags to your items, as a means to organize them …

> One little quirk I noticed is that adding albums from bandcamp doesn't seem to work if the artist is using a custom domain. Just a heads up, this is now fixed.

Hey, thanks for the amazingly kind words. That's very encouraging to hear! > One little quirk I noticed is that adding albums from bandcamp doesn't seem to work if the artist is us…

Not yet, but it's something that could be implemented long-term. So, if I understand correctly, are you talking about an album/EP/single release? Can you please provide some exampl…

That looks very interesting and close to the spirit of Digs. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely check this out and perhaps borrow interesting ideas!

Oh I love Dego & Kaidi :)

That's true! All release groups from MusicBrainz are fed into the Digs database.

I'm a member on ListenBrainz (I also hang out in #metabrainz). It's an awesome project, thanks for your work. I think that the my other comment comparing Digs to Last.fm ( https://…

Thanks for the suggestions. It's true that the UX definitely lacks in many parts, and in many others it's unclear what one should do after they sign up for the first time. Let me t…

> It would be nice to see all listeners to a particular artist or genre/tag. That would make it easier to befriend like-minded listeners. I imagine the success of this website will…

Yep, this will be done definitely in the short to medium-term.

I'm sorry for that. There's an outstanding bug on the Spotify implementation. It'll be a while before it's back to working again (pending action from Spotify).

Any suggestions to research are more than welcome!

Sorry for that, I found the root cause, unfortunately it'll be a bit before that's fixed, I guess (depends on action on behalf of Spotify).

I myself wanted to mark mixes as listen later, among regular album releases. So that's why Mixcloud URLs are supported in the search box, and it will fetch the actual mix. For exam…
