I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it.

50 days ago I launched Sonic Oracle. One developer, zero marketing budget. 150+ people are paying for it.

I built it because I was tired of the same recommendations everywhere. Tidal's "Fans Also Like" stays surface-level. Qobuz barely has discovery at all. Radio stations disappear when they're done. "Similar Artists" gives you the same ten names you already know.

Sonic Oracle fills the gap. You type in an artist, pick a depth, and it builds a permanent playlist of connected artists saved directly to your Tidal or Qobuz library. Roon, Audirvana, Aurender, dCS, Lumin, Naim, Linn, McIntosh, everything picks it up. About 5-6 hours of music you've never heard, created in under a minute.

No AI. No label deals pushing promoted content into your results. Every recommendation comes from real listener behavior. Every artist is a real person with a real discography.

There's a depth setting going from safe picks all the way to deep cuts no streaming platform would ever surface. That's where it gets interesting.

Thanks to the feedback from communities like this one, the app keeps getting better. New features ship every week based on what users ask for. 

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

I use a blue sound node nano in one system playing Qobuz connect. I have created at least a dozen playlists and it has inserted them in my cobuz account flawlessly every time. They are  playlists created in your Qobuz account ,once you listen to it you can delete what you don't care for and keep what you  like.AsI stated above, The playlists are much more interesting than what Qobuz suggests  especially if the artist you've selected is somewhat obscure.

Is there anyway to control the number of songs it finds for a playlist?

Mine go anywhere from 45 to 75.  Can we set a specific number or have it find "up to" a number?  Just some type of control.

Good question.

There's no track count setting right now, and here's why: the number of tracks depends on how many strong artist connections the engine finds for your seed. Some artists have deeper connection networks than others, so playlist sizes vary naturally.

You have full control in two places:

Before creating the playlist, swap out or delete any artist from the results. Fewer artists means fewer tracks.

After the playlist is created, it's permanently saved in your library. Edit it however you want. Remove tracks, reorder, trim it to a specific length. It's yours.

The depth dial also affects this indirectly. Essential tends to produce tighter playlists, Adventurous casts a wider net.

Appreciate the feedback. If enough people ask for a track limit, I'll look into it
