24 alternatives to Similar artist network music discovery tool
Hello HN, I created a fun tool which you can use to discover new artists starting from a root artist and clicking nodes to expand similar artists. You can also hover over the nodes to preview the artist's top songs. Fully web based, no sign up required. The data is from the Apple Music API.

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…
