24 alternatives to 1000 Songs. 10 Songs a year. 100 Years
Hi HN, I have made a site called Https://www.1000songs.co.uk It is a collection of songs I like 1930 - 2030, 10 songs a year (I am 927 in!) These limits meant I could add some really fun features. The radio time machine lets you scroll through the years 1930 - 2030. It is built on lists and then looks up the preview from iTunes. I used the limitation of a 30 second preview as a feature to try and make it feel like turning an old radio. It's also got some game elements where you can find the songs from the year you were born or name the tune. Because my taste is pretty niche (and…

I built this because I wanted to know what people in Japan were listening to the year I was born. That question spiraled: how does a hit in Rome compare to what was charting in Lagos the same year? How did sonic flavors propagate as streaming made musical influence travel faster than ever? 88mph is a playable map of music history: 230 charts across 20 countries, spanning 8 decades (1940–2025). Every song is playable via YouTube or Spotify. It's open source and I'd love help expanding it — there's a link to contribute charts for new countries and years. The goal is to crowdsource a complete…

Hey HN! I just shipped a project I’ve been working on called Maroofy: https://maroofy.com You can search for any song, and it’ll use the song’s audio to find other similar-sounding music. Demo: https://twitter.com/subby_tech/status/1621293770779287554 How does it work? I’ve indexed ~120M+ songs from the iTunes catalog with a custom AI audio model that I built for understanding music. My model analyzes raw music audio as input and produces embedding vectors as output. I then store the embedding vectors for all songs into a vector database, and use semantic…

This weekend is the ABC Classic FM countdown, which prompted me to dust off an old un-published data visualisation of rankings from previous years. I've considered adding a search function, but I also kind of like that it requires a bit of exploration in the current form. Some of the code is a bit clunky and I wouldn't mind refactoring it. I'm also not sure about browser compatibility - I've only got access to a couple of devices to test it on.

Hi, I created loopy, a website to share and discover music you love. A former coworker answered an ice breaker question saying his superpower would be to know every language fluently since he travels a lot. Mine would be to hear every song I would fall in love with. I realized that I will die without hearing every song that I will fall in love with. So many of my all-time favorite songs I randomly have heard at a club, coffee shop, traveling, walking by a store, etc. There is a high chance that I would have never heard those songs. Loopy aims to fix this. You can post your all-time favorite…

I wanted a way to quickly generate new Spotify playlists from my library based on some simple user inputs. There are probably a bunch of songs floating around in old playlists that you will never listen to again so the Spotify Playlist Recycling Plant is an attempt to resurrect these forgotten gems! At the heart of this tool is a simple custom algorithm that uses Spotify's 5000+ unique genres to find similar artists. It works well for my purposes but everybody uses Spotify differently so I'd love some feedback :) Built using React and the Spotify Web API.
