You are now live at http://Alternativeto.net The software database. Cheers http://alternativeto.net/software/artist-explorer/

Hi,
I love you app. It's really great. The tool I needed. But it seems, that the spotify API and the Echo Nest API have completely different understandings of the similar artists.
For example: If I Look for the Band "Malrun" I get completely different suggestions, than I get when I search with http://static.echonest.com/enspex/web/ArtistBrowser/
Personally I have to say that the suggestions of The Echo Nest API sound better for me for that specific case.
Is there a possibility to implement both? Ideally expand to the right with spotify sugestions and to the left with Echo Nest suggestions.

Keep up the great work!

need i to install something more?
i got this error:

GET http://localhost:10000/spotify/artists/43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE 404 (File not found)

when putting in an artist name (such as "metallica"), no results are displayed. I have tried using artistexplorer.spotify.com on multiple browsers with multiple queries and I get the same result on all of them. thanks.

With my cursor over the right-hand part of the website, if I scroll with my mouse wheel, the currently playing track will jump to a seemingly arbitrary track, and the window will scroll.

Before scrolling:

After scrolling:

I looked at relationships to Aphex Twin, then clicked DJ Shadow, which revealed Aphex Twin again, and this continues forever. It would be convenient not to see a relationship again once that relationship has been revealed.

When examining artists that expand the tree to the right, the icons eventually drift closer together until they overlap.

This takes quite a few expansions, however.

When I wish to play another song from the "Popular Songs" tab, it loads the Spotify web player every time I click on the song. Either it should redirect to Spotify once and let users play the songs there or the web player should be embedded into the main app.

I can try fixing it!

Hi,

I used the app on my desktop and smartphone (iPhone) and can listen to the audio only on Desktop. Is mobile audio supported?

Thanks,

Would love to be able to turn off volume, and also have that setting persist. (currently I find myself just adjusting the volume slider to 0 most times I use the app)

I'd also be willing to try to put together a pull request for this if its something you think sounds good but don't have time for or feel like messing with.

Thanks for this app, its great and I've been using it a lot to make playlists.

Front end calls => https://artistexplorer.spotify.com/spotify/search?FR which gives a 502 Nginx bad gateway error ;-(

Symptom: If you visit https://fsahin.github.io/artist-explorer/, you get the error Oops, seems like Spotify is not available in your country yet. This happens on the latest version of chrome.

Workaround: use http instead of https

Looks like the geoplugin library this site uses is loaded over http. Chrome complains[0] because it doesn't like loading non-https content on an https page. Since the geoplugin is blocked, geoplugin_countryCode is undefined, and artist-explorer thinks the country code is incorrect (when it's actually just missing).

[0] [blocked] The page at 'https://fsahin.github.io/artist-explorer/' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'http://www.geoplugin.net/javascript.gp': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

on windows, all is running ok until i run server.py
i got this error
can someone give any help?
thanks in advance

The radio buttons for saving and playing music on the right side selection bar are not populating. This occurs regardless of browser.

I've been testing the app in different browsers here on my desktop, and even serving it as a file to the browser usually works well, but the idea is to integrate portion of it in a mobile app with other features.
To develop this mobile app I'm planning to use the Titanium cross-platform tool, and it will be based on a webview page, but always that I test the artist-explorer then I get the message "ooops, seems like there are no available tracks in your country".
As the location and GPS are already setup in the manifest (and other apps already make use of same configuration and works well), and on desktop it also checks that I'm located in Brazil and works well, then what could be causing this message to shows up ??

• - maybe something related to the issue #7 so I'll test later if this is the problem.

It makes a request to the above endpoint but the request never returns.

Getting bad gateway errors on artist search URLs e.g.

This happens after contracting a node once or twice on Chrome and Safari. It doesn't seem to happen on Firefox. When any node is expanded afterwards, all images goes back to being circular again.

explorer was running until a couple of hours and now is stopped. nothing happens when search
