On what basis is something "awesome"?
Are the tracks handpicked? If not, what is the overall method?
Why is there no attribution if the tracks are clearly from websites that have recommended the music?
- jamesgagan 14y agothis isn't the hype machine - its just a very simple way to enjoy some new music with no bells and whistles or distractions.
- mattdennewitz 14y agoone important part of discovering new music is discovering new trusted sources. that'll build trust between you app and your users, and i'm sure the folks whose keen insights you're scraping would appreciate it.
- jamesgagan 14y agofumar suggested guest playlists - it might be a good way to get bloggers/tastemakers to participate while keeping it simple.
- fumar 14y agoYeah, I love music and the whole art behind finding new music and enjoying something unique. I like when artists release their "influential tracks/songs." It gives me some new ground to explore. I will use this Royksopp as an example. I liked "Melody AM", their first album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_A.M http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_A.M. It was chill and atmospheric. When they released "Back to Mine," a compilation of their favorite tracks. I understood "Melody AM" much better. http://www.discogs.com/R%C3%B6yksopp-Back-To-Mine/master/294901 http://www.discogs.com/R%C3%B6yksopp-Back-To-Mine/master/294...
- fascinated 14y agoSure, but how is the music picked? Attribution is not a distraction.
