Sonic Oracle update: nearly 3 million artists, works with any Tidal/Qobuz connected setup

For those who still don't know Sonic Oracle: it's a music discovery tool for Tidal and Qobuz. You type in an artist, pick a depth (Essential, Balanced, or Adventurous), and it builds a permanent playlist of connected artists saved directly to your library. Not a station. Permanent playlists based on what listeners with similar taste enjoy.

The database now covers nearly 3 million artists across 44+ sub-genres.

Every playlist lands in your Tidal or Qobuz library, which means any hardware with Tidal Connect or Qobuz Connect picks it up instantly. Roon, Audirvana, Aurender, dCS, Lumin, Naim, Linn, Bluesound, WiiM, and everything else. Create a playlist on your phone, hit play on your streamer.

Today we hit 100 paid subscribers. To celebrate that and Memorial Day weekend, I'm offering 10% off the lifetime plan through Monday midnight. Use code MEMORIAL100 at checkout. Lifetime goes from $29.99 to $26.99.

Free to try at https://sonicoracle.music/. Three playlists, no credit card needed.

"Poor man's Roon" made me laugh. At $29.99 lifetime, I'll take it.

In all seriousness though, Sonic Oracle does things Roon doesn't. Roon shows you a short list of similar artists you probably already know. Sonic Oracle finds up to 25 artists connected to your taste, many you've never heard of, and builds a permanent playlist in your library. Roon's radio creates a station that disappears when it's done. Sonic Oracle playlists stay forever. And nothing in Roon comes close to Adventurous mode.

The best part is they work together. Sonic Oracle fills your library. Roon plays it.

Glad it's working well for you, Ken.

A friend was just raving about this, I'll have to give it a try.

My confusion was thinking it replaced Roon, rather than working together. Or at least if you want them to they can. That changes things for me, I'm down to try it out.

Yes, Sonic Oracle feeds your Roon library, it doesn't replace it. Create a playlist, and Roon picks it up instantly.
Let me know how it goes.
