Show HN: Loopy - share and find and music you love
Hi, I created loopy, a website to share and discover music you
love. A former coworker answered an ice breaker question saying
his superpower would be to know every language fluently since he
travels a lot. Mine would be to hear every song I would fall in
love with. I realized that I will die without hearing every song
that I will fall in love with. So many of my all-time favorite
songs I randomly have heard at a club, coffee shop, traveling,
walking by a store, etc. There is a high chance that I would have
never heard those songs. Loopy aims to fix this. You can post your
all-time favorite songs. If someone else love this song, there is a
chance you will too :). Here is my profile: https://loopy.fm/kyle
Happy listening :) - Kyle

| How many people registered, and how many people bounced?)

| It's similar to the #music channels that communities sometimes
| have. People post their favorite songs, or new songs they just
| discovered, but as it's a diverse group of people posting them
| and not a tight-nit group that enjoys similiar music it just
| becomes a stream of new music and people have no idea if they
| might enjoy it.
|
| It works between friends when people say "I know you like xyz,
| you might enjoy that", but outside of that the "sharing" part is
| more fun than actually trying to go through a list of new songs
| and picking what to listen.

| Berlin where I heard another. One particular song brings back the
| night time walk round San Francisco where I first heard it,
| another contours up the lazy summer the poolside lunch on a Greek
| island where I heard another. There are very few that I remember
| that don't have a context of people, time or place.

| Neat! This reminds me of This Is My Jam [0] that ran from 2011 to
| 2015 I think. It was basically the same idea, but you shared the
| tracks that you liked right now (and you could only share one
| track a week) which is an interesting twist. I miss it sometimes
| - maybe Loopy will fill that niche to me :-)
|
| One feature request outright, if I may: Bandcamp has lots of
| music I love personally, so if Loopy supported it that would be
| great!
