I have wished for something like this, so I tried it out, using _Beauty Beats_, by Beats Antique. I got one of your own playlists - what are the odds?! Works great, thank you!
Awesome, thanks!
Show HN: I built a site that lets users find playlists by songs they contain

#32For that I regularly use this free service https://www.chosic.com/spotify-playlist-search-tool-by-song-...
This is alternate approach, that uses an advanced Google search under the hood. It works very approximately, given that it searches the song title in everything Google decides to index.
Thank you, was not aware of how it works

I'm not a 100% on how it works myself, just a stong hunch based on the site speed and results.

#34I once built a site that used Spotify playlist data directly. The intention was that you could take one of your own playlist and find playlists that have the greatest overlaps. The intention was to find people with a similiar musical taste to yourself.
Interestingly I found a lot of new music that way and also found other music directions that suddenly interested me.
Thinking this a little further, it provides the perfekt basis for a dating application. Music is a very personally representation of oneself and if you find someone who has the same muscial taste, you already have a common basis for communication.
Obviously this never made it past developer status since Spotify does not like third party apps storing their data (i.e. playlists of other people). You can use the data but not store it or analyse it.
It made me think that Spotify should build a dating app since they would have no interest in keeping you in their dating app as thats not their main business, unlike other dating platforms that have little interest in losing their customers.

#35What do I have to do after entering a song? Pressing Enter does nothing (Firefox, Safari, MacOS).
As other people have noted, the site is missing a loading indicator and currently, very many people are trying to access it, so you are doing everything correctly, just currently requests take upwards of 30 seconds to process.
thanks

Interesting idea!
Slightly off-topic, but originally I had planned to organically grow the playlist count by allowing users to login with their Spotify account and reading their playlists. I even made a prototype...but turns out Spotify only allows working with user data once you have your API quota extended, which seemed like quite the undertaking.

#37This is very helpful! I've searched for this in the past. There's sometimes one song I like and I'd like to find more like that.
Something useful I found is the "Go to song radio" in Spotify, that creates kind of a "dynamic" playlist with similar songs.

Thank you very much!
I also use the Spotify radios a lot, but they are heavily curated - they contain a lot of songs that you already have in a playlist or have liked. So they are useful for listening, but slightly less for strictly music discovery.

SoundHound used to do that, looks like it can still be used through: https://www.midomi.com
Why "used to"? The SoundHound (Android) app is still around...
I just briefly looked at their website and saw the B2B pivot. Wasn't sure if the app is still around, but upon closer inspection it seems like it is.
