How to discover great new music using mufin
What is mufin?
Mufin stands for music finder, and it's your personal music discovery engine for helping you find, listen to, and discover music online! Mufin has millions of tracks and counting ready for you to explore!
The difference from other music recommendation services is the use of a sound-based approach to create musical suggestions. But what does “sound-based” really mean?
Sound-based music discovery?
Mufin knows around 40 individual musical properties like rhythm, tempo, and instruments for each of the songs stored in its database. When mufin claims that songs are similar to each other, this means that they have similar musical properties – leading to the songs sounding similar and enabling you to discover new music by sound.
What's the advantage? Location, genre, or popularity don't play a role for mufin; only the sound decides if a track is recommended or not, giving you significantly greater diversity while discovering music than with traditional recommendation techniques.
How does the music discovery engine work?
It's easy! On the start page, mufin gives you the option to determine the starting point, aka "seed song" of your musical journey. In this case, we'll search using “Boys Noize”.
With one click on the "Search!" button, you immediately receive an overview of the tracks located in the search results. The display includes cover, song, artist, and album, plus a sound preview for the individual song. Now select a song which mufin should use to display similar tracks.
Discover new music!
If you press the "Preview similar tracks" button, mufin will automatically show tracks that are musically similar to the title you entered.
Do you want more? Click on "More similar tracks" to get even more recommendations.
That's how mufin gives you a sound-based platform for discovering new music!
