What about this here : https://i.snag.gy/1jPRFW.jpg
Yes, this is the old way if you want to: (username + password + email), do you have a problem registering with this method also?
Coming from someone who's not very familiar with classical music and who signed up to start getting into it... Why am I forced to 'star' 5 composers and 5 works upon registration? I recognized a most of the top ~10 composers but I'm sure most people will just click the top 5 and move on which really defeats the purpose doesn't it? And then once I'm at the homepage, I don't immediately see where I can review / change…
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…
i didn't pick any of the top 5 composers, and yet the works were largely from them. the 3 composers i was actually interested in don't appear anywhere on the list of works i get to choose from. :(
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…
Classical music suffers from a glut of metadata upon which true fans rely. It's not enough to specify composer or piece. Classical music lovers will search for conductor, soloist, orchestra, or even a specific recording made by some orchestra in some year. See some discussion here [1]. If you can address a fraction of these, you will be way ahead of streaming services like spotify, etc. Other than that, the site look…

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…
> 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). Does Deezer support gapless (not cross-faded) playback? Because as far as I can tell, most of the streaming services miss the mark dramatically here. It’s definitely most painful when listening to classical music to have what should have been a seemless tran…
The problem with spotify is that i cannot search by label. I am new to classical music and sticking to a quality label helps a lot.
Slightly off-topic, but is there a resource that collects the music cited in Hofstadter's "Godel, Escher, Bach"? I've never been good at reading music notation, so those sections of the book (which I need to re-read sometime soon) are glossed over, and I feel I'm missing out.

I do not know about deeper but Spotify offers gapless playback. One can listen a symphony without interrupts. The problem with spotify is that i cannot search by label. I am new to classical music and sticking to a quality label helps a lot.
Regarding searching for labels, you can actually do that: https://news.spotify.com/se/2009/05/20/spotify-0315-with-lab...
It’s just a bit cumbersome, and not so easy to find the exact name of the label stored in the database. I think you can use the API to find the (exact) name of the label assigned for a particular song.

Pretty long and off-topic shot, but would you (or anyone else) happen to know this piece? We've been looking for a name for years: https://soundcloud.com/stavrosk/unknown-piece-from-brewsters... On-topic, how can I listen to a performance? I clicked through to a few lists but haven't found any buttons to do that on the site.
