Did anyone else find "Musicians you love listen to what you like" pretty difficult to digest?

There's probably a more user friendly way to say that. Cool idea though.

I had a difficult time parsing this. Maybe I still am, because that sentence continues to tell me that using this app will somehow make my most beloved musicians listen to my favorite music.

Yeah, I did. I had to re-read it 2 or 3 times.

Music that inspires the artists you listen to.

Not a new concept, but this one is hard to use. Only one track is presented at a time. Very slow to discover.

well, don't you listen to each track you attempt to discover? or do you use some kind of playlist like "the next tracks to discover"?

yes, very difficult to understand. Had to break it up. The Musicians that you love tend to listen to what you like

I thought it was Musicians you love, listen to what you like or Musicians you love to listen to what you like it caused some cognitive dissonance.

Would something like "Listen to the favorite tracks of the musicians you love" be better?
Re:DiscoverTracks – Musicians you love listen to what you like by hansy on Monday July 28, 2014 @11:20AM (#8097246)
Beginning with an action verb is already a better start. Another possible way to reword could be, "Listen to tracks your favorite musicians love."

Side note: what's up with the background moving along with mouse cursor? It was a little distracting at first, but I'm guessing the purpose is to make the site feel like you're browsing through a record store?

Re:DiscoverTracks – Musicians you love listen to what you like by ocolot on Monday July 28, 2014 @11:28AM (#8097329)
yep, that's precisely the idea! I think I'll remove the parallax to reduce potential distractions.

thx for your tagline proposal, I think it is the best up to now!

"Listen to your favorite bands' favorite songs"

I got it straight away, but I kept second guessing while I clicked the link to find out that it literally meant what it said.

I still don't get that sentence.
