Somehow i can't find The Creatures - Standing There It's a great song and it's being hosted onto youtube.. why can't i find it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYQqN_nVstc
I am a huge music buff so I am always interested in ways to find new stuff to listen to.
I tried almost every recommendation service I could find.
So far, my favorite source of new music is http://www.gnoosic.com
If there is a way for me to try SoundMoose without a Google account I will happily check it out.
pretty cool, like that Auth0 thing, do you pay for it or free? random question. I've built up a playlist of almost 1,000 songs on YouTube, although I have Google Fiber for like $50.00/mo I feel bad that I use YouTube as a music player when the video for the bandwidth is mostly wasted unless I don't understand how that works. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to scrape/bring in that to mix in with my user's play…
How do you discover music here? I could not figure it out. Do I have to log in? Why only via Google? I am a huge music buff so I am always interested in ways to find new stuff to listen to.

Spotify also has pretty good recommendations, but requires people to be authenticated to use their recommendations API. Our recommendations currently come from Last.fm.

Go to the detail page by clicking the tiles or track titles, and look at related artists/tracks :) Spotify also has pretty good recommendations, but requires people to be authenticated to use their recommendations API. Our recommendations currently come from Last.fm.

Free. Auth0 is definitely very cool, makes it easy to implement Github/Facebook authentication (or any other service) as well. A bit of a pain to implement in Angular 2 right now if using hashes for routing (see https://github.com/auth0/lock/pull/790#issuecomment-27426628... ), so we used popups as a temporary workaround.
edit: unless you're talking about hash like password hashing but I don't think so?...
Not sure if you saw the rest of my comment, I edited it after regarding merging playlists from YouTube into the site. It's too bad some of the songs are only 30 seconds long (I think this was mentioned regarding using SoundCloud for example as a source of music) anyway I'll try it out, already found a new song so thanks.
Neat! I'm usually very cynical of JavaScript based projects but a lot of my life outside of work I spend digging deep into obscure genres from strange small towns around the world, I generally find the best discovery mechanisms are last.fm (yes it's still got a fantastic recommendation engine), what.cd used to lead me to a lot of new artists / albums, digging through various forums and subreddits and pandora's music…
Thanks for the feedback! This being Angular 2 we actually used TypeScript, with some Django on the backend (with some Node.js and Ruby for generating the waveform data using ImageMagick). We also used Three.js for the 3D visualizations -- the sphere one is especially cool. Put on on some music and check it out by clicking the menu and then the circle icon on the top left. We also have some cool 2D visualizations in t…
MI'm unable try it out today but can't wait to tomorrow perhaps, my personal music collection is sitting around 1.4TB and until recently I had a big wall of 1600 or so records as well as the usual obsessive compulsive hifi hardware everywhere.
I personally ensure that I dedicate at least 8 hours of uninterrupted time each week to music discovery, in reality it often ends up being a lot more than that likely often averaging around 20+ hours a week and is often just commonly limited by how many times I feel / wish to listen to a newly discovered artist or album before I sort of mentally have them etched into my mental catalog of music if that makes any sort of sense.
Music, musical discovery and interrelationships are such deeply rooted, important part of my life that when things come along that actually help that process it can have an immensely profound impact on my energy and happiness, if this tool / toolset ends up helping me I will forever be in your debt and if it doesn't I will try to hold back on logging millions of isssues against it ;)
However, one issue: I'm on [this screen](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45512231/ShareX/chrome_2...) which is a track's detail page and another track has started playing, I can't seem to get to the currently playing track's detail page from this...
Also, not sure if you could fix it but Soundcloud's "Genres" is utterly broken, try it, go on Soundcloud's "Charts" page and try ANY genre from the dropdown and all the tracks are just hip-hop/trap. I don't have an issue with hip-hop/trap it's just I don't want to listen to it all the time and I might want to explore the latest indie rock tracks. Maybe you can pull that from last.fm too and fix this? That would make this a daily-use app for me!

I don't follow with the hashes, Auth stuff is on my list to do thanks for responding and providing insight on that. edit: unless you're talking about hash like password hashing but I don't think so?...

The 30 second tracks come from spotify. Their API doesn't provide for a way to get the full track even for authenticated users, so we use an iframe widget for that :/

In non-HTML5 browsers you need # for routing single page applications. The 30 second tracks come from spotify. Their API doesn't provide for a way to get the full track even for authenticated users, so we use an iframe widget for that :/
Anyway thanks for the information. Cool site. The 30 second song thing sucks, songs "eratically jump" I get that it's a preview/suggestion though. Music isn't "free" haha artists have to be paid.
edit: I want to stress the 30-sec gripe isn't to you, it's not your doing but you know things aren't free haha.
