We are working through what exactly that will look like at the moment.
First thing we think we want to add is comments to tracks.
Following this I want artists to meet other artists and to start sharing their fan base. Some kind of ‘connect’ feature that allows artists to chat and shows they support each other. Also if an artist shares a track they get mentioned on the home feed in some way.
Finally we want to add a full forum type thing like indie hackers as well as a blog for artist tips and advice.
Thanks so much! I’d love to hear about your experience and what ways this sort of community might benefit you. Send us an email hello@tracklist.it if you fancy :)
We definitely need to be cautious of people gamifying the system. Humans are smart though and they will always find a way!
We will do our best and hopefully can always find a positive way to turn any bad acting on its head and make it benefit the whole community… wish me luck!! XD
Great advice. I’ve used submit hub for many years, it is a great product.
The issue with have with genre is you really can have any genre, and new ones are being made up all the time. We won’t be able to have competitive lists for all of these so decided to approach it from as few genres as possible, then will Implement a tagging system that an artist can write anything in. We will then offer search by tag so they can be found.
It’s a slow process as this is a part time project but hopefully we will get there!
I used to use Last FM for this, but no longer. I think this needs to be brought back on modern services. An artist might be in a totally different genre but if they have the same ‘feel’ you might like both

Little by little for now though!
