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


Some of you might remember my first post about Sonic Oracle. I built it because I personally needed it and nothing like it existed. I wanted to type in an artist I love and get back a playlist of artists I’ve never heard of who share something with them. Not algorithmic "people also listened to" suggestions. Deeper connections based on sound, style, and taste.
Since launch, the app has grown significantly.
Genre coverage expanded to 44+ sub-genres across 10 genre families. K-pop, city pop, gypsy jazz, acid jazz, darkwave, krautrock, fado, klezmer, djent, sludge metal, flamenco, cumbia... if your taste runs deep, Sonic Oracle goes there now.
Niche and cross-genre artists work much better. Obscure composers, experimental artists, soundtrack creators. Seeds like these used to return thin results. Not anymore.
The newest feature is click-to-discover. When your playlist comes back, click any artist in the results to start a new search from them. Chain one discovery into the next without going back to the search bar.
Three discovery depths: Essential (closest matches), Balanced (a mix), Adventurous (deep cuts you won’t find elsewhere). Adventurous is where it gets interesting.
Playlists land directly in your Tidal or Qobuz library. Roon, Audirvana, Bluesound, WiiM, and every other app or streamer picks them up instantly.
Still a solo developer. Still improving it every week.

Interested newbie question. I use a Windows 10 computer as my Roon core which I can connect to remotely to control/play Roon from a laptop. Where should I install /setup your app? I Installed your program on an Android tablet, created a couple of playlists but when I hit play, the audio eminates from the tablet, not my main speakers. Any guidance is greatly appreciated...Thanx! Jeff

Hey Jeff

Thanks for trying our Sonic Oracle 

The playlists created using Sonic Oracle land in your Tidal/Qobuz library 

You have to play them from there. If your Roon is connected to Tidal/Qubuz, hit play and Roon will pick it up automatically 

Let me know how it goes

I created the playlists in Tidal but I do not see either of them there. Am I not looking deep enough? Thanx!
