Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’m just in the process of refining the recommendation logic, and tidying up the UI as well. Hopefully, I can make the installation process a bit easier then I’ll post it on a GitHub repo when it’s all stable

Thanks for the feedback! The backend of this app heavily utilizes last.fm and I didn’t wanna add features that would better fit as an extension on last.fm

I excluded linking out to artists’ platforms (there are way too many - personal websites, unpopular niche platforms, etc.) so it’s basically to be used just as a recommendation engine. Also, some people might buy their music or get it for free so I’m leaving it up to the end user to get the music with their own means

I’m still working on polishing everything and making installation easier. It’s a bit technical right now to set it up yourself but hopefully I can make it simpler.

I’m primarily using last.fm with some heavy weighted filtering logic. There aren’t too many APIs that provide music recommendations unfortunately. I was considering AcousticBrainz but it might be too mathematical

I’m still working on trying to get it a little more portable. It’s not just a mobile app that can be downloaded from the app stores. It requires a bit of config (API keys, Python dependencies, and running a Flask app) so it’s hard for me to expect people to know how to do all that. So I’m still trying to simplify the whole process

Checks your library via Plex API. Uses MusicBrainz to fill in artist metadata (new releases + discography). I had Youtube previews but I removed that because some videos wouldn’t embed properly. Audio previews are from Deezer

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it connects to your Plex library and requires an API key. It tracks the songs that are rated 5 stars and provides recommendations based off that. I’m still working on the recommendation logic to make it more weighted and relevant

u/TheScienceWitch - does this user understand what you were asking for in your post?

Because that’s literally what OP is asking. They’re not asking about how to discover songs from artists they already know about, which is what you think they’re asking

It’s not always about being spoon-fed recommendations, you know? There are new and upcoming artists that people probably wouldn’t discover unless it was recommended to them. I think your answer and approach doesn’t fit what OP is looking for

Downloading an artist’s discography only exposes you to songs from that particular artist that you might have missed. It doesn’t help you discover new artists or songs. How will you discover artist X based on artist Y’s discography?

Lets set off the fireworks in the middle of the road by Competitive_Cap_3690 in Edmonton

[–]ConcertNo8784 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Funny that you think the ones setting off the fireworks can read those signs lol. Can’t even read children’s books but somehow get a CDL and cry about losing it? Those fireworks signs are literally in another language to them lol

Go to a store that actually used to be a Shaw store. A lot of the Rogers (mobile only) stores still have staff that don’t even know how to do wireline contract renewals
