Did 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.

#32I'm getting a 500 error on Chrome 36 from api.soundcloud.com, are you sure you haven't hit a rate limit on this?
Edit: Soundcloud quota are not explicit unfortunately.

#33Also, may be it would be a good idea to pre-load next track? Right now skipping works reallllly slow

I had a difficult time parsing this. Maybe I still am, because that sentence continues to tell me that using this app will somehow make my most beloved musicians listen to my favorite music.

#35I love it! Thanks for this.
Really cool idea. I've been digging around soundcloud a lot lately, and it's as challenging as any other site to find good stuff. My immediate feedback is most musicians like their own productions the most. So I keep getting "artist123 likes this song by artist123". Any way to filter out themselves?

That's a great case. I believe we should be careful with historical biais, because some it could lead to focussing results on a particular music style. In my case fore example, I listen to electonic, jazz and classical music depending on the mood of the week... It is not open source, but you may be willing to give a hand ;)
I would love to help but I'm not much of a web developer :) I'll definitely be following closely though so if I see a way I can help I'll let you know.

Would something like "Listen to the favorite tracks of the musicians you love" be better?
Side note: what's up with the background moving along with mouse cursor? It was a little distracting at first, but I'm guessing the purpose is to make the site feel like you're browsing through a record store?
Re: DiscoverTracks – Musicians you love listen to what you like
#38I think this is a really neat idea. I actually know one artist (diplo I think) has started a second SC account just for retweeting stuff he recommends. I have a couple of accounts and am quite particular about the music I favourite (has to be stuff that my followers would also like e.g. No rock music on my EDM account and vice versa). I'm not sure everyone is like this though so it might be difficult to find accounts…
Yes it's Diplo. Although souncloud.com/stream page and reposts[1] work quite good for my needs already. Diplo has second account for reposts[2][3] only. I personally prefer a curated approach, like blip.fm[4] offered/offers, to any automated methods so far. [1] http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/527370-w...

Music that inspires the artists you listen to. Not a new concept, but this one is hard to use. Only one track is presented at a time. Very slow to discover.

Beginning with an action verb is already a better start. Another possible way to reword could be, "Listen to tracks your favorite musicians love."

thx for your tagline proposal, I think it is the best up to now!
