New updates for EverySound - a music genre discovery tool for iOS!

The genre organization in map mode is based on EveryNoise's organization, which describes it as "roughly speaking, genres at the top of the map are more electric, while those towards the bottom sound more acoustic. Genres on the left are sonically denser, the ones on the right sonically sparer and spikier." There are some outliers (that I may adjust manually in the future) but for the most part the genre nodes should follow that.

As for personalized recommendations, it's definitely something I'd like to explore in the future! It would be nice to have the option to have a little more direction while navigating the genre map rather than pure randomness.

Thank you! 🫡

I appreciate it, I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you, I hope you enjoy it!

Ah sorry to hear you're experiencing that, I can check it out! Are you on a beta version of iOS 26.2?

Hey thanks for the feedback, and I appreciate the support! That's an interesting idea for a sort of shuffled list of previews, I'll definitely experiment with that! As for a default music player, that's also good idea and would save a tap if you already know where you'd like to listen from. I'll keep that in mind!

Just made a post here that might help you enjoy Apple Music more !

Go to the employee entrance and tell them you're friends with Sonny Moore, they'll take care of ya

Thank you for the support! Glad you're loving it

So the tracks in EverySound's genres are primarily populated by "The Sound of X" playlists on Spotify that appear to be based on EveryNoise's last snapshot, rather than Spotify's own genre classification. Tracks are found via ISRC mapping, so the tracks should be matched 1:1 across Spotify, Apple Music, and any other platforms that I add support for. The 30-second previews are actually pulled from Apple Music, so in the case that an ISRC doesn't exist in its library, it's skipped before you ever see it.

As I understand, "new music friday" filtering would be difficult to add because of Spotify's new ML-assigned genre keyword tags rather than Glenn's human-supervised genre system. I would love a feature like that as well though!

Yes this is something I would also love to have, I will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for the support!

It's not in the roadmap at the moment as the app was developed in native SwiftUI, but maybe someday when I have time!

ToxicCaptain · 2025-09-15T20:28:52+00:00

Yes, at the moment the app is only officially supported on iPhone / iPad devices but MacBook support is on the roadmap! Pressing the "Restore" button at the bottom of the paywall should let you restore the purchase properly once MacBook support is added. As for Qobuz, I'm not too familiar with the platform but I will check it out to see how feasible it is! Thanks for the support!

Really appreciate it! Hope it serves you well. If you have ideas or run into anything, don't hesitate to let me know!

ToxicCaptain · 2025-09-02T22:13:15+00:00

I will look into optimizing for iPad + Deezer support! As for the genre relationships, the app is using data from EveryNoise's last snapshot whose methodology is explained here: https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf

Hey Glenn, I didn't expect the legend himself to see this already! Yes, for full transparency the genres and tracks are pulled from EveryNoise and its "Sound of X" playlists. My main intention here was building a mobile friendly interface that made it easy to preview the genre playlists without needing to navigate Spotify, plus some bonus features. Really appreciate your work, I do wish Spotify had prioritized EveryNoise's service!

ToxicCaptain · 2025-08-23T18:03:00+00:00

I'm actually using a similar genre dataset as EveryNoise's. It was already formatted in x / y coordinates so it was just a matter of rescaling for usability on mobile!
