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.

@panyc77 hello Alessandro

tried it and it’s very cool.  

FYI, I have an issue on Innuos Sense, it does not show the new playlists. I have to log out and back in to get them. 
 

it’s an issue with Sense but FYI in case others have the same problem.

Glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks for flagging the Innuos Sense refresh issue. I’m aware of it, some players don’t automatically detect new playlists from Tidal/Qobuz and need a manual refresh or restart.

I’m working on an auto-refresh solution that will handle this for players like Sense. Will keep you posted when it’s ready.

The biggest update since launch is coming to sonic oracle 

I've been quiet here for a few days because I’ve been deep in a project that changes how Sonic Oracle builds playlists.

Here’s the short version. If 100 people on Spotify search for the same artist, all 100 get the same tracks. Same songs, same order, same experience. That’s how every streaming platform works. The popular stuff floats to the top and stays there.

Sonic Oracle is about to change that

100 Sonic Oracle users search for the same artist, they walk away with 100 different playlists. You run the same artist twice, you get two different playlists. Every search pulls from the full depth of an artist’s catalog, not the same 10 tracks everyone else hears. Your playlist is yours and only yours.

I’ve been testing it all week. The results are not even close to what I expected. Deep cuts I’ve never heard from artists I thought I knew inside and out.

More details soon. This one is worth the wait.
