I would love to be able to develop a list of tracks by building specific queries based on ALL the metadata you have in your music database.

For example: {From ALL MUSIC, track length > 2 minutes AND (genre = punk rock OR post-punk) AND release year > 2019 AND (country = Australia OR France) AND popularity < 1 AND artist fans < 1,000 AND label = n/a}

Users could then save and share the query (or a query code), and add to playlists for future access.

I know it’s a big ask, but a neat query building UI that delivers this would be unique and loved by those with specific interests in music that are not catered to by algorithms tuned to the mainstream. What do you reckon?

As a side note, would also be interested in thoughts on why tech trends seem to be taking users away from this kind of capability and why no streaming music service has tried this.

That's very specific @rapidobear :sweat_smile:

But it's a good idea, so I've forwarded it on and left my vote as contribution. We need more of them to prompt a discussion with our devs :v_tone2:
