Love to see this! As a classical music fan, I'm frustrated by how difficult it is to find good quality music online. Here's a couple of ideas how to improve the tool: * Links to Spotify, Deezer, et al. would be great (I particularly care about Deezer, because they offer(ed) the most comprehensive selection of classical music). * I'm missing interprets. Search for "Karajan" yields nothing, yet Karajan is a super impor…

Thank you! I am really glad you like it > Links to Spotify, Deezer, et al I am planning to do that. However, Youtube will remain the default. I guess that Spotify has some limitiations (must be loggenot in, limitations outside the US, I doubt that many obscure works have recordings) > missing interprets.

> “Karajan” Karajan is a conductor. Will conductors get looped in as well? Or will they be considered “Performers” as well?

Yes, conductors and any kind of musicians will have a unified performer page or at least tag page that containes all their recordings. Since conductors can be players at some performances. Also soloists can be conductors which happens frequently for classical era concertos.

Hi timmonsjg, the welcome page has 2 main purposes: 1. you see posts on your homepage feed of composers you followed (of course you can see all other posts without leacving the feed but only posts related to your followed composers are loaded by default) 2. Get work recommendations based on your followed composers and starred works. You are right that it sucks if you know little about classical music. A skip button w…

A short optional sample of every composers and songs would be nice, just to get an idea of the music. I can't remember music in my head (kind of Aphantasia for music), so it's really hard for me to choose just from the list.

This is a great idea tbh, most people actually know far more classical music than they think they do - but they couldn't tell you the name of a piece or its composer for the life of them.

That's weird, I will look into the logs and see what can be done. Thanks Raphmedia for reporting.

Using create by email gives me (in chrome network console) "account already exists" and trying to log with that account sends a call which is never answered. Perhaps it's the HN hug messing your website up...

Hello HN! I am really excited to show you Classical Music Only, a social website dedicate to discover, listen and discuss classical music. I actually tried to do a "show HN" thread 6 months ago when the first alpha release was published but somehow the link was dead and nobody saw it except me:D. Now the website is in beta phase and has become much more mature since first published. The website has many features that…

It is very refreshing to see a website dedicated to classical music! Have you considered integrating with last.fm? At the very least scrobbling the listen history would be nice, but more advanced integration could be interesting to: synchronizing tags, etc.

This is why I love Youtube live channels. They just play a constant stream of music without having to sign up or do anything else complicated.

What are your favorite YouTube live channels?

Not OP, but I'm personally a fan of chill-hop stations, such as Lo-fi Hiphop Radio 24/7. This kind of music lends itself to studying and working, as it has very little lyrical content. Find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQBh9soLSkI
