+1 on that usage.

If only Soundcloud/Mixcloud integrated it so you saw the current track while the mix played - likely avoided for copyright deniability?

Mixcloud actually had that. Then they've switched over to only displaying the current track. Then they've made some shitty version of music recognition similar to Shazam, which simply does not work for this use case (every single time it detects something, which happens almost never, it disregards that it's an edit/bootleg/remix of a song and displays the original instead).

In fact, as an uploader, you can still see it (I don't know why), but not as a listener. As an example, here's a screenshot of me viewing my own upload: https://imgur.com/a/REpxOgx

Editing tools still allow you to post accurate timestamps: https://i.imgur.com/gZabJUx.png

There's also a browser extension that modifies Mixcloud pages to display the tracklists again, but they're useless since no uploader has an incentive to go through the painful process of entering timestamps, and that process is now crowdsourced anyway thanks to 1001tracklists.

>As a DJ constantly looking for tracks to add to the collection. I listen to streaming music pretty constantly. For individual tracks with all of the metadata, the artist/track name info is provided. For listening to other DJ mixes, you just get the DJ name and mix name. Shazam tells me the specific track.

So a pretty narrow demographic for the feature though...

>So a pretty narrow demographic for the feature though...

If you're only going to take one person's usage then, yeah, I guess it's pretty narrow. How about another example for from the same person. As a video editor I'm constantly having to find "hip/trendy/cool" music for video edits. These clients typically like music that I do not normally listen to, but I know it's something they would like when I hear it. I'll let it live in My Shazams until one day I need to find something. I've impressed more than one client with the ability to pull out a "fresh" song for them. Clients appreciate that sort of thing.

>How about another example for from the same person.

How about it? We've just added video editor looking for cool music to DJ. We could add tens such cases more, but all those combined are still narrow demographics.

Diabetes apps have a narrow demographic too. What's your point?

Diabetes apps operate on one of the most lucrative markets (health), and are essential and even life-saving for their demographic. Not a mere nicety for some creative professions...

Also, diabetes narrow? 30 million have it in the US, I'd say those are way more than DJs that need to recognize tunes, and have much more motive to use an app that helps them keep track of something that can have huge impact on their health...

I'm not a DJ, but i listen to electronic music mainly and it usually is on soundcloud in the form of sets. If 1001tracklist doesn't come through, Shazam is my go to app.
