The team at Spotify made a map through which you can browse city playlists with music that's very particular to certain cities (or countries). Scroll around, click a city, and hear what's distinctive in that place.

@basgras I was wondering when Spotify would release something like this. I had this idea years ago for individual users instead of cities, because my wife likes when I have control of the music, but I'm either not in the same room as her or I want to use my headphones. We thought it'd be a great idea if she could just follow what I play and it would automatically play on her Spotify, no matter where we are. I actually thought about building it, but I figured they would release it and stomp on me. :-) Thanks for sharing!

@sbcallender Yeah, this is part of the reason why I also love TuneIn... Lets me browse the world and tune into random radio stations in sub-Saharan Africa, the Balkans or Peru... so cool :)

@sbcallender why doesn't she just listen to your playlists? Same thing, just not in real time

@markus_schuette I don't create playlists. I like to listen to full albums, and I just go album to album based on what comes to mind. But yeah, I don't think that's typical.

This is amazing... It's great to hear what's popular in different cultures. Starboy seems to be doing well 🤖 Found a list format of the map: https://open.spotify.com/user/th...

Very cool project. It's interesting to hear what's trending in other regions. Apparently Shakira is popular in Spain right now. Radiooooo is a similar app but for time traveling.

Great Idea...as a DJ of many private Partys I can confirm the choice of the list of my area and some other areas...but I hope Africa and many "black" asian country will be displayed soon

This is great!!! I built a similar app that is a Global Music Map that works with Spotify, Youtube, and Soundcloud, all user-submitted. The dots are individual songs, and the colors of the dot represent the mood and genre of the song. Our app is also integrated with Steemit / Steem blockchain. We have a really-freakin-cool curation system planned too!! Planning to post the app on here, but need to upvote for 3 days ha ha. You can check it out here: https://music.cxc.world and learn more about the project at https://currentxchange.com I think if you like this you will love our app. It's a bit prettier.

@maxine_kerley_bowen I imagine Spotify doesn't work in Africa!! I built a similar map, https://music.cxc.world that works all over, but it is user-submitted, and no one has posted to Africa yet as I write this. You can post though if you want! Be the change ;)
