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

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.

Thanks for your quick and detailed feedback, Alessandro. 
 

The Kenichi result would be a difficult one as there are lots of Japanese artists that don’t release their music on streaming platforms such as Tidal and even less on Qobuz. 
 

I will follow the idea of adding it to my Home Screen as you suggested. 
 

I’ll be opting in for the lifetime use of the app. 

Thank you, Naville.

I appreciate your support and feedback. The Japanese artist issue is a real limitation of the streaming platforms themselves. If the music isn’t on Tidal or Qobuz, Sonic Oracle has nothing to pull from. But when the catalog is there, the results should be strong.

I believe in what I built, but hearing it from someone who tested Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Roon, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Soundiiz before landing here means more than I can say.

Welcome aboard.

Alessandro

I see from your website that Aurender is not supported.  Why is that?
