Hi,<p>I created loopy, a website to share and discover music you love.<p>A former coworker answered an ice breaker question saying his superpower would be to know every language fluently since he travels a lot.<p>Mine would be to hear every song I would fall in love with.<p>I realized that I will die without hearing every song that I will fall in love with. So many of my all-time favorite songs I randomly have heard at a club, coffee shop, traveling, walking by a store, etc.<p>There is a high chance that I would have never heard those songs. Loopy aims to fix this.<p>You can post your all-time favorite songs. If someone else love this song, there is a chance you will too :).<p>Here is my profile: <a href="https://loopy.fm/kyle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://loopy.fm/kyle</a><p>Happy listening :)<p>- Kyle
The idea is interesting but I always feel like sharing music like that doesn't work.<p>It's similar to the #music channels that communities sometimes have. People post their favorite songs, or new songs they just discovered, but as it's a diverse group of people posting them and not a tight-nit group that enjoys similiar music it just becomes a stream of new music and people have no idea if they might enjoy it.<p>It works between friends when people say "I know you like xyz, you might enjoy that", but outside of that the "sharing" part is more fun than actually trying to go through a list of new songs and picking what to listen.
Is the registration step strictly neccessary? I'm willing to give it a try, but I'm probably not willing to jump through a hoop to do so.<p>(Or to put it another way: you posted this link three hours ago. How many people registered, and how many people bounced?)
Neat! This reminds me of This Is My Jam [0] that ran from 2011 to 2015 I think. It was basically the same idea, but you shared the tracks that you liked right now (and you could only share one track a week) which is an interesting twist. I miss it sometimes – maybe Loopy will fill that niche to me :-)<p>One feature request outright, if I may: Bandcamp has lots of music I love personally, so if Loopy supported it that would be great!<p>[0]: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221218152857/https://www.thisismyjam.com/about" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://web.archive.org/web/20221218152857/https://www.thisi...</a>
I wonder how much that exact context - at a club, coffee shop, travelling, walking by a store - is part of what makes us fall in love with songs. I can remember the exact open air bar in Lisbon that I first heard a favourite song, the exact furniture shop in Berlin where I heard another. One particular song brings back the night time walk round San Francisco where I first heard it, another contours up the lazy summer the poolside lunch on a Greek island where I heard another. There are very few that I remember that don’t have a context of people, time or place.
Maybe the genre list could be a bit more extended ? For example, consider "reggae". While one could think that dancehall is also reggae, its sort of rare that people who would enjoy rocksteady would be pleased to get something from dancehall just because the "top level genre" matches ?
I immediately assumed this had something to do with <a href="https://loopypro.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://loopypro.com/</a> - which is wildly popular for certain music production niches.<p>You may want to reconsider that name imho.
Unfortunately Spotify links don’t work for me. For instance, the following URL copied from Spotify’s share extension in iOS returns a not-valid link in your app:<p><a href="https://spotify.link/0elKaAdp1Cb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://spotify.link/0elKaAdp1Cb</a>
