Hey Product Hunt!
Timbre Segue exists because Apple Music's infinite play option didn't work for my needs. I would start playing some 90's hip-hop and end up with modern pop several songs later. Or would want to stick to 70's disco but kept getting pushed modern techno.
So I built a Safari extension that watches what you play, builds a music queue from the metadata of the previous few tracks (BPM, genre, era), and silently inserts new tracks that match. This pulls from Apple Music's catalog, assisted by Deezer's similar-artist graph, and MusicBrainz for original release dates (Apple Music returns the remaster year for catalog reissues, which kills era detection!).
The result: you can put on a Disco track and hours later still be in actual 1970s disco, not a 2024 pop song that has "dance" in the metadata. You can lock the era to the 1990s and trust it. You can shift the tempo without losing the genre.
- It runs entirely in your browser. No server, no account, no listening data sent to me.
- It hands control back when you want it. Lock a genre, lock a decade, shift the tempo. It's easy to deactivate as well.
- It's stingy by default. When you've locked filters, it would rather wait for the next track than queue a marginal pick.
- Made for music listeners of all genres.

What's missing? What genres are we mishandling? I read every comment.
