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.
I still don't get that sentence.

#52Nice work, I did pretty much the same thing about one and a half years back [1]. Didn't know it's still running [2], haha. I built it because I liked Favematic [3], but thought it didn't have enough "radio" like functionality.
I like your visual design better though, it's way cleaner. Also the track is better presented, but then again there were no pictures for tracks when I started.
Edit: Oh and btw I also had no clue how to describe what it does succinctly ;)

#53A more clear tagline: "Listen to the favorite bands of your favorite bands"

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Beginning with an action verb is already a better start. Another possible way to reword could be, "Listen to tracks your favorite musicians love." 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?
yep, that's precisely the idea! I think I'll remove the parallax to reduce potential distractions. thx for your tagline proposal, I think it is the best up to now!
"Listen to your favorite bands' favorite songs"

I got it straight away, but I kept second guessing while I clicked the link to find out that it literally meant what it said.

#56This is a great tool.
I can't believe Soundcloud doesn't already offer this.
Recommended!

#57Bandcamp does something in this vein which lets you see an artist's recommendations of other artists on the site, but it's much more explicit on the artist's part (choosing to recommend as opposed to a mere "like"). I've found some decent stuff through that mechanism.

Oh I get it, it makes a playlist out of the music that artists you liked have liked.
Why not just go to soundcloud.com/artist/likes and click play? That already makes a playlist of their likes...
That doesn't include multiple artists at the same time, right?

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