#12How is this different from Rate Your Music or Album Of The Year?
Re: Show HN: Digs.fm – For passionate music explorers (like Goodreads but for music)
#13I am a programmer and an active DJ myself and as such a type of person I do a lot of music organizations into different playlists. For example, each month on Soundcloud I keep one playlist of "Mixes to listen" (usually private) and one playlist of "Favorite mixes for month X". I've been doing this for a few years already. You can find these at https://soundcloud.com/ulterior
I can see how this kind of a service can be useful, especially in recommendations, if you are able to answer what music did the digger like from his diggs. Because, as we musicheads well know, not everything we dug out is gold.

Yep, that's on my radar definitely, probably in the long-term plans. It's a great idea.

#18I'll give this a go. I was an active Last.fm user for years and still miss that kind of interaction; a DeviantArt but for music listeners...

#19A few people mentioned that this has some Last.fm vibes. While that's true, here's my thoughts on how they differ and what prompted me to create Digs: Last.fm mostly answers the question: "What I've been listening to mostly, this month?" whereas Digs.fm aims to answer the question: "Which album I discovered (i.e. listened for the first time) AND liked last month?". This essentially comes down to the fact that Last.fm…
I’m one of the ones that asked for a comparison. Thank you. I’m not sure I’ll appreciate the difference until I give it a try though. I know that when I look at my history in Last, I could clearly see what I discovered and what I obsessed over for a period of time. But let’s say your tool isn’t different in any fundamental way. So F’n what? :) Not the most tasteful examples, but where would Burger King or Wendy’s be if they had demurred to the big M?
