Love the tagline, @mjoaoferreira2.
I wish the images for each sound were representative of the audio though. The tiling of turntables makes it harder to scan and choose what to play.

Hey @rrhoover, thanks for your feedback. Yeah, definitely something to consider on our roadmap. This is a first iteration of a bigger redesign. In fact, on mobile it’s even more difficult to scan quickly through sounds (which, btw, we are already working on).
If you upload sounds manually (not through youtube) it’s possible to upload an image. However, we should probably be able to choose a frame from the youtube video, making these images more meaningful so that our dashboard could look more like a library of sounds with proper covers. But always open to better suggestions.
So, something to improve definitely! https://www.soundy.top/sounds/625

@jpgbarbosa @rrhoover Since you've already got tags and names. Why not use deep learning to fit a visual to each sound?

@grmmph @rrhoover Good point indeed. Although it might be unlikely that we can include it on our short roadmap, it's something great to think about for medium term.
In fact (warning: shameless promotion ahead) part of our team has some nice skills on machine learning (unplugg was hunted =D https://www.producthunt.com/post...) and we even started tOSTa app (http://tosta.herokuapp.com/ not open yet sadly) during an hackathon which is pretty much the reverse of your idea - getting a soundtrack from images/instagram.
So, tl;dr yup, we are almost on the same page, great idea to consider, thanks!
