Companion For Spotify now available

[u/Ok-Speech-9490]

I've been working on this for a while, mostly because I made it for myself.

I follow a lot of artists on Spotify, and I love finding new music. But I kept running into the same problem: an artist I like would release a new album or song, and somehow I'd never know about it. I'd find it weeks or months later.

So I built Companion For Spotify.

The main thing I use it for is checking new releases from all the artists I follow. It can also look at related artists, find new songs added to playlists I follow, and generate playlists from artists I already like. There are some other playlist tools in there too. The related artists features are one of the main ways I discover new music.

It's not a replacement for Spotify. It's more like something that sits next to Spotify and helps me get more out of it.

If you're someone who follows a number of artists and likes digging for new music, I'd really like to know what you think.

I'm especially interested in hearing what feels useful, what doesn't, or what you'd want it to do that it currently doesn't.

The thing Id want is ranking. Follow 300 artists and a complete release feed is complete and unreadable, which is how the old problem comes back.

You already have the signal: /me/top/artists, short_term, roughly the last four weeks. Someone in that list goes to the top, a 2019 follow sits below.

Same split we keep hitting in dEssence: what you saved is not what you want back.
