Show HN: A Digital CD Shelf as the UI for Music Streaming Libraries

2 pointsby bcyeabout 2 months ago
I realized that (re-)discovering albums in my Spotify library is challenging, so I started thinking on what might be a good alternative UI for the digital music libraries.<p>CD shelves provide a great overview of an entire collection and I thought it might be cool to see a digital adaptation of them, so I coded a quick demo with mock data using v0.dev.<p>The UI is optimised for mobile and allows you to view many albums on a single screen and you can click on single albums to bring up a detail page.<p>I&#x27;m interested to hear your thoughts on whether this could be a better UI and how it could be improved.

You could get images from multiple perspectives from the Cover Art Archive (via MusicBrainz). E.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release&#x2F;a4f190d5-c752-4ebd-8d2f-925abfb52c40&#x2F;cover-art" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;musicbrainz.org&#x2F;release&#x2F;a4f190d5-c752-4ebd-8d2f-925a...</a> . It would be very cool if the spine could be rendered, although it&#x27;s not always split from the back image (I guess because of the post processing after scanning).
