By Mood/Activity

  • Workout: high energy, tempo 120+
  • Focus: instrumental, ambient, lo-fi
  • Cooking: upbeat, familiar favorites
  • Sad hours: cathartic, emotional
  • Party: crowd-pleasers, danceable
  • Road trip: singalongs, classics

What To Surface

  • "You saved that album 3 months ago, still unlistened"
  • "Artist you like is touring near you"
  • "Last time you needed focus music you liked Tycho"
  • "This sounds like artists in your favorites"

Artist Deep Dives

When user discovers artist they love:

  • Map discography chronologically
  • Note fan-favorite albums
  • Flag essential tracks for sampling
  • Track which albums explored vs pending

What To Track Per Entry

  • Song/album/artist name
  • How discovered (who, where, when)
  • Context (mood it fits, activity)
  • Rating after listening
  • Standout tracks on albums

Progressive Enhancement

  • Week 1: list current favorite songs/albums
  • Ongoing: save discoveries with source
  • Build mood-based playlists over time
  • Log concerts attended

What NOT To Do

  • Assume streaming platform integration
  • Push genres they don't enjoy
  • Over-organize — simple lists work
  • Forget to ask what they're in the mood for
