What's new in Sonic Oracle: May update
Hey,
for those who still don't know Sonic Oracle: it's a music discovery tool for Tidal and Qobuz. You type in an artist, pick a depth (Essential, Balanced, or Adventurous), and it builds a permanent playlist of connected artists saved directly to your library. Not a station. Not an algorithm pushing what a platform wants you to hear. Real discoveries based on what listeners with similar taste enjoy.
Big round of updates this week. Here's what shipped:
My Discoveries is new. Your search history is now saved. Every discovery you've made, all in one place. Tap any to revisit it.
Click-to-discover lets you click any artist in your results to start a new search from them. Chain discoveries together until you land on something you never knew existed.
Track variety is improved. Playlists now feature different tracks each time, even for the same artist. Run the same search twice, get fresh songs both times.
Speed. Discovery results are near-instant. Repeat playlists create in about 1 second.
Deeper database. Coverage expanded to nearly 3 million artists and over 3 million albums.
Better niche results. Obscure seeds that previously returned too few matches now pull back stronger results.
K-pop, J-pop, C-pop. Full genre coverage for Asian pop including city pop, visual kei, and more.
Landing page refresh. Better mobile layout and updated social previews when sharing links.
More coming. As always, let me know what's working and what's not.
I built this because I personally needed it and nothing like it existed. Still a solo developer, still shipping improvements every week.
