The Artist Hunt

Where's the data coming from? The concept is good and appeals to discovery enthusiasts. The only problem I came across was that I knew all the artists. I wasn't seeing smaller names and finding new music.

@gopatrik how you guys think about genres - do you intend to keep it broad or verticalize it by genre?

Hi product hunt! One of the two creators here. Appreciate feedback and thoughts from you brilliant people!

(I'm one of the creators) Initially, this was actually a game where you were tasked to browse from one artist to another as fast as possible, but the feedback we got was that the music discovery part was much more interesting than the game itself!

This was a fun way to move through and discover a lot of different music quickly. A couple points of feedback: I know you address searching in the tutorial, "You can always jump to an artist by searching in the text field." However, I didn't read that line my first time through. I didn't know I could change to an artist I was more interested in. A magnifying glass icon in the field would really make this clear. Re: the keyboard controls a couple weren't intuitive to me: For most audio players (e.g. iTunes and Spotify) space pauses the track. I accidentally added songs to my account. Also, I appreciate that there isn't a clear answer to this, but pressing down to go to the next track threw me off.

This is great. Definitely takes some getting used to, but I'm a big fan. Would have loved if this had integrated with a service like ex.fm (now shutdown).

This is a ton of fun, I'm a huge music discovery guy. One thing I expected to see but didn't - there should be a key that says "I just don't like this style of music/artist" which will change the genre completely. I know the search functionality is there, but that would add to the spontaneity.
