> Let’s start with the easy one, newly released music This kind of tedious labor isn't what comes to mind when I hear "easy" in HN-linked article. And really, what I am trying to achieve doesn't sound complicated at all: I don't even want to be notified in advance, just being told about new release even with a week delay would be fine. Yet I didn't find any efficient way to achieve it! There must be like 200 artists I know and like in my collection, probably more. Some DJs have literally tens of music projects and go by various handles, which I obviously cannot all remember. Sometimes I find out that some musician I really liked a long time ago before he (supposedly) retired, has started a new project I didn't know about for years. So manually monitoring it all (even assuming consequenceofsound covers everybody I listen, which I really, really doubt) isn't easy by any means. And unlike the author, I don't find it to be a fun hobby, I just want to get notified if my favorite band released a new album this month! What really frustrates me, is that for some comprehensive music DB like discogs, musicbrainz, last.fm or spotify providing a service like that (I'm pasting 200 artist names => you give me an RSS/email subscription/Telegram bot/whatever) seems like a really trivial thing to do, since it already knows all these relationships and learns about every new release in a matter of hours, if not before the release. Yet to the day I'm not aware that something like this exists, and I tried to find it for a while now.
