Reddit for Music: How We Got 1,000 Users In A Weekend

That looks cool! I'm having a hard time finding a good way to discover good music. Currently my favorite, although not optimal - is to go over grooveshark playlists published on /r/groovesharkplaylists.

Some concern about this approach is that I think consuming music in such way wouldn't be much fun - unlike hn, on a music site a 'play all' would make more sense than playing one by one, but here's the catch(es): 1. No way to listen just to the new (to me, sort of 'unread') good music 2. Playing from top to bottom would mean the songs get progressively less good.

I would add a 'best songs' list - all the song above let's say 20 points. This is something I could automatically play on shuffle, occasionally getting new entries from the recent days.

anyway, best of luck! I'll give it a try!

Looks like a nice app, but this statement is far from true: "There is no channel for music discovery outside of what the majors pay to put in front of you." A new music discovery site gets posted to HN at least once a week, many of them built off the soundcloud api. As well, you are only one of many apps that has tried the voting up/down for songs route - thesixtyone.com was one of the first but they have since moved away from that. Anyway - keep up the good work, just don't fool yourselves that this is anything new.

Any chance you will also link back to Soundcloud? If it's part of your monetization strategy to only link to amazon purchases I get it but what's to stop Soundcloud from turning off the spigot and taking your idea?

Very cool site -- I've long thought about setting something like this up as a side project that'd be fun to build!

We'll be here all day so please leave any feedback comments. Thanks for checking it out!
