Ignore the major labels, there is a vibrant world of new music being released on indie labels! http://avant.fm. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Tl;dr: crapshoot as to whether you get featured, but worth it if you do. My personal experience with it was positive. I posted my site on PH over the summer (plug: https://avant.fm, a customizable feed of new releases from the best indie music labels). After a couple weeks it was featured for a day. Not sure how that happened, but someone with some pull "hunted" it I guess. About 30 other sites were featured that... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Anyone aware of a similar feature for foobar2000? I have an extensive library mostly tagged from Discogs, including release IDs. In theory, this should be sufficient to cluster music by genres, pull similar releases from Discogs "similar" feature and correlate data from https://everynoise.com. Obviously, in case of album mixed genres things will mix up, but I'm not sure there's a model that can correlate existing... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

The article mentions Glenn McDonald's musical genre page (https://everynoise.com/, no longer refreshing with new Spotify data) as an example of a flexible graph-like exploration format, without being burdened by explicit connections. The author also has a thorough description of pros and cons of the general concept. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

This is from Glenn McDonald's blog, founder of "Every Noise at Once". He was laid off from Spotify (discussed here briefly [0]) --- https://everynoise.com/ is now in "archival copy" mode [1][2].
