Also, may be it would be a good idea to pre-load next track? Right now skipping works reallllly slow

#12I like the idea of it. In fact, as an ex-musician myself i have a few ideas of building something using the Soundcloud API. More work definitely needs to be done in the 'music discovery' space and I am glad you've done something with it :)

#13I don't get it. What does it do?
From the site: "Musicians you love listen to what you like" ... "Their favourite tracks become your personal radio..."

#14I'd be skeptical. Often musicians left to make the music they want to make make stuff nobody cares about. I think of the Gerry Rafferty album City to City which is all hee haw music that sounds the same except for the hit tracks.

#15Did anyone else find "Musicians you love listen to what you like" pretty difficult to digest?
There's probably a more user friendly way to say that. Cool idea though.

#16I like this concept, but you need some sort of automated filtering. My first track (because hypem liked it) is a cat purring.
Plug but it's a useful one: run the tracks through the SCAnalyzer http://labs.echonest.com/SCAnalyzer/index.html and filter for speechiness and duration. If you get a SO ID, you'll also know the artist via fingerprinting and you can do more filtering at that level.

Yeah, I did. I had to re-read it 2 or 3 times.

This is a pretty cool idea! I will see what I can get out of it, thx!

Would something like "Listen to the favorite tracks of the musicians you love" be better?
