The idea is interesting but I always feel like sharing music like that doesn't work. It's similar to the #music channels that communities sometimes have. People post their favorite songs, or new songs they just discovered, but as it's a diverse group of people posting them and not a tight-nit group that enjoys similiar music it just becomes a stream of new music and people have no idea if they might enjoy it. It work…

thanks for the feedback. i agree and valid points but i have friends who have nearly identical music taste and sometimes i hate songs they play. so there is still a hit or miss factor.

then the question would be how to decrease the ratio between hits and misses? do you have any ideas of what you would like to see tackle this?

i have a few: - upvoting songs - organize songs by the plays / views it has from the source (youtube, spotify, soundcloud). - suggest songs that genre is the same as your favorite genre?

gotta effectively feature in the "I know you like xyz, you might enjoy that" factor

Is the registration step strictly neccessary? I'm willing to give it a try, but I'm probably not willing to jump through a hoop to do so. (Or to put it another way: you posted this link three hours ago. How many people registered, and how many people bounced?)

mhmm i'll change it to be more public. thanks for the feedback

Thanks, then I'll definitely be around again in a couple of days to check it out properly.

https://www.criticker.com has one of the best discovery systems I’ve seen. Worth looking into, and using if you also like film!

Unfortunately Spotify links don’t work for me. For instance, the following URL copied from Spotify’s share extension in iOS returns a not-valid link in your app: https://spotify.link/0elKaAdp1Cb

mhm thanks for pointing this out but i tried this format and it does not work with the api. it must be like this: https://open.spotify.com/track/0QDr66VdiCEuyDF33MAtlG?si=OIn...

i got the link by clicking the song in the app -> share -> copy link. not sure if the share extension is generating different links, different version or something.
