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…

I am excited to announce a new tool for music producers and audio enthusiasts - a music audio search engine. With just a simple description of the groove you're looking for, our semantic search engine will output the most similar audio in seconds. I used the Freesound.org API to upload over 3,000 grooves to MongoDB, and combined all the relevant data such as tags, title, description, BPM, etc. into OpenAI's Text-Davinci to generate a unique description of each sound. I then embedded these descriptions using the Ada Embeddings Model and inserted them into Pinecone DB vector database, making…

Use Spotify? This tool will automate your music discovery for you. Join here (100% perpetually free with no strings attached): https://brew.fm Some time ago, I built and showed HN[1] brew.fm, a tool helping artists remix each other’s work. It had been quiet, and I remembered how fun it was to work with the Spotify API, so I repurposed the tool to solve one of my own problems: missing out on new music of my favorite artists. I shared it on Reddit yesterday[2], and this seems to hit a spot for more people: so far 833 people connected their Spotify account. How it works: The tool…

Hi, I built TuneJourney to solve a specific annoyance: radio ads and DJ chatter. The core feature is an in-browser "AI Skip Talk" filter. The Tech: Instead of processing on a server, it uses the Web Audio API to capture the stream locally and runs a lightweight ML classification model directly in your browser. It estimates the music vs. speech probability in near real-time. If enabled, it automatically triggers a "next" command to hop to another station the moment an ad, news segment, or DJ starts talking. Features: - In-browser Inference: Entirely local and privacy-focused; no audio data…
