What's good everyone, I'm Sajan, Sylo cofounder. We're currently in private beta, use the code 'soundcircle' to get in! We consider Sylo the Jon Snow of Music. Right now, the industry stakeholders are fighting one another - record labels, the streaming services, fans, and artists are all at war. Everyone is demanding more money and the deals take years to go through. Meanwhile, the consumer is suffering, as music is fragmented between dozens of streaming services. Sylo exists to bring all of these warring parties together, allowing music fans to access any (legal) song in the world through a single unified platform. By doing so we benefit the consumer in a way that ultimately generates more revenue for artists, labels, and streaming services. For me, it all started with my band 'no suits' and not being able to get our remixes on Spotify, Apple Music etc. At the same time it sucks as a consumer not being able to get all the tracks and artists we love on the service we use. We hope Sylo can be the solution. Enjoy!

@rotemthegolfer Dude, totally on the way. Right now I'm the only dev and I've coding the whole thing myself. For sure on the roadmap and will let you know when it's ready.

It's great to be able to use this app just to play the audio from YouTube videos without having to have the phone unlocked & on screen - Youtube videos now = podcasts : )
Justin Clegg
This. Is. Awesome. By the way, as one who is always on the lookout for cutting edge music, I recommend HypeMachine. For those of you who consider yourselves music hackers, here is a Google Chrome Extension that injects a download button next to songs on HypeMachine. Enjoy! https://github.com/fzakaria/Hype...

@cleggskie HypeMachine is dope. This is one of my tracks that's on there http://hypem.com/track/2eqsx thanks for sharing!!
Justin Clegg
@sajsanghvi Listening now. Right back at you - http://hypem.com/track/2jeb3/The... (I'm all about a good Chainsmokers flip)
Markus Schuette
@cleggskie @sajsanghvi This is my favorite chainsmokers flip off their new EP - http://hypelist.io/resource/chai... . Check out the rest of the site for more cutting edge music!

Love this @sajsanghvi @mishasallee, thanks for making it! Are you based out of India by any chance? Would love to have you guys be a part of our meetups :)

@ambonium @mishasallee Nahhh man sorry! We're out in LA
Amrith
@sajsanghvi @mishasallee yeah saw that.. no probs :)
Justin Clegg
@ambonium @sajsanghvi @mishasallee LA is sort of like India, no?

You should add auto playlists from Hype Machine! I would love to use this as my all in one music player!
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@samschooler That would be so fresh!! I would have done that already but Hypem doesn't offer a public API yet...maybe I can figure something out ;)
Sam Schooler
@sajsanghvi You could use their JSON feeds and just pull the stuff from soundcloud. Here is the one for the homepage! http://hypem.com/playlist/latest... Anthony (Hype Machine founder?) is also pretty responsive if you email him directly.
Alex Sherwood
Access to Youtube video playlists & the ability to auto-play / queue all videos in that playlist, would be useful.

@aplssf 100000% on the roadmap man!
Jordan Howlett
I wish Sonos had an API. Would be super cool to see this integrated with Sonos. Looks nice.

Jithin Rajiv
@sajsanghvi @sylomusic Is there any way you can integrate other music services like Saavn , Gaana etc.. then it will be awesome.. I am using it in my Mac
lkkwus
Does anyone have an invite code ?
Armen Ghazarian
@lkkwus i'd also like to have an invite
Julien
@lkkwus Use the code 'soundcircle' to get in! :)
Ben Guild
Does this get around the YouTube embedding limitations?
Marcel Christianis
@benguild Thought of the same thing. Really love the ability to play YouTube audio. Hopefully doesn't suffer the same fate as Streamus (Which I used quite heavily before). Reference: http://thenextweb.com/insider/20...
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@benguild It doesn't...we always play the video which is what they require on their terms!
Ben Guild
@sajsanghvi What? So you play the video even if it doesn't allow embedding?
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@benguild haha no! If it doesn't allow embedding we can't play it!
Ben Guild
@sajsanghvi got it. that's what I figured. what % of videos are you finding don't work? do you even show those search results?
Tom Brinton
I've been waiting for something like this. Especially love the Youtube feature.
Misha Sallee
@brintown appreciate the love broseph
Tom Brinton
@misha_sallee Yeah man! I am working on an app that allows people to store their music on physical external storage. (www.producthunt.com/posts/ibridge-3) But what you guys are doing is next level. We'd love to figure out a way to store Spotify downloaded content onto the iBridge 3.
Misha Sallee
@brintown looks awesome! Good luck getting Spotify content on there haha wish I knew how to help you :/
Tom Brinton
@misha_sallee haha thanks bro. it's mostly just something i like to dream about in my spare time :)
Xavi Santa
Awesome, love it! Keep improving guys! I miss a web service.
Emmanuel Boukris
Just downloaded for mac but no youtube affiliated. Only iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud. Is it normal ?
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@emmanuel_boukris Good observation!!! While we don't let you 'connect' your YouTube account yet, you can still access any music video/channel through the search bar
Armen Ghazarian
Very useful idea and nice implementation. Keep it growing up. Will share it :)

Maker
@armen_ghazaryan thanks armen! you're the man
Armen Ghazarian
@sajsanghvi what about windows app or web version?
Alex Panagis
Wish we'd have the ability to save music to our phone so that we can listen offline.
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@tpbtv You can if you have SoundCloud Go/ Spotify Premium!
Boris Nikolić
I wish I can upvote more than once... This was the app I was searching for! Good job!
Julian
Any plan to implement Bandcamp support?
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@crown_luminary Of course mayne!!
Matt McClure
Really slick! Can't wait to try out some of the circle features with colleagues. Just to make sure the wheel is noisy enough, tossing another +1 out there for Google Music. Great work!
Justin Clegg
One question I have is what happens to sound quality? I know Sound quality offered on Spotify premium is exceptional. . . will I have to give that up on Sylos? @sajan @misha
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@cleggskie @sajan @misha good question..the sound quality will be exactly as your settings on Spotify. SoundCloud quality is exactly the same as on SC itself!!
Mike Orren
Long overdue idea and looks well-executed so far. Would love an AppleTV version.
Sajan Sanghvi
Maker
@mikeorren I would have done this if my Apple TV I bought didn't freeze ALL the time. sadly I moved it to the back of the roadmap haha
Mike Orren
@sajsanghvi Using on iOS, finding it crashes a bit when importing library data. Thinking it's the "large library" problem that plagues many Music apps. Is why I had to quit using Spotify as my primary.
