I built a music discovery app for Tidal and Qobuz users. A lot has changed since launch.

Sent another tough artist and sub-genre at your platform this evening - curated Tidal playlist that integrated into Roon was flawless, as well as the results. 

Being a former Tower Records employee whose worth was measured by your recommendations to customers, I’d say that your monthly and lifetime memberships are more than fair in this digital age we live in. I’ve searched high and low in trying to locate the best platform to help me discover new music (Spotify, Tidal, Quboz, Roon, ChatGPT, Gemini, Soundiiz). Your platform somehow reminded me of nailing a solid recommendation to a Tower customer - same feelings of satisfaction/appreciation. 

Love the simplicity and refinement. Convenience through tight integration with excellent results makes this a no-brainer for someone like me whose majority of listening is music discovery. 

Have you soft marketed this to other audio forums? If not, you should. 

The Tower Records comparison means a lot. A great record store recommendation worked because the person behind the counter understood your taste and pointed you somewhere you'd never look on your own. That's exactly what Sonic Oracle tries to do. Not recycled "similar artists" lists. Not stations based on what a platform wants to promote but permanent playlists built from real taste connections, saved to your library.

And if you haven't tried Adventurous mode yet, push it there. It surfaces artists no streaming platform or AI will find for you.

I've started posting on a few audio forums and the response has been great. If you know any communities where people care about discovery, send them my way.

Thanks for your support 

Hi Alessandro

Few user queries

Can we only connect Sonic Oracle to Tidal or Qobuz. Or both? 
 

if both, would the same playlist appear on both platforms. 
 

To create the playlist is it done only via the web? Or will their be an iOS app so we can stay signed in. 
 

sorry if some of these sound like basic queries. 
 

I think it’s a great app. And if I feel I will make use of it with the results then I’ll certainly get the lifetime plan. 
 

I did do a search with Kenichi Tsunoda Big Band, and it gave me a 34 song playlist. From the artists that came through some didn’t feel that they were that type of style of music. This is just my observation and certainly not a whinge at your super efforts. 
 

cheers

Hey Neville, not basic at all, great questions.

You can connect one platform at a time right now. If you switch between Tidal and Qobuz, playlists stay on whichever platform they were created on. Supporting both connected simultaneously is something I'm considering.

There's no native iOS app, but if you open sonicoracle.music in Safari and tap "Add to Home Screen," it installs as a full-screen app that looks and feels native. Same on Android with Chrome. You stay signed in and it works just like a phone app.

On the Kenichi Tsunoda Big Band results, that's helpful feedback. Niche jazz sub-genres like big band can sometimes pull in artists from adjacent styles. I'm always refining the engine to improve accuracy for these kinds of searches.

Appreciate the kind words and the honest feedback. Let me know if you have any other questions.
