Show HN: SoundLocate – Find your city match based on music taste

https://soundlocate.com
2•akhow•1h ago
SoundLocate (https://soundlocate.com) matches you with cities based on your favorite artists.

The idea: artists are popular in specific cities. If you love the same music as people in Berlin or Melbourne, you'd probably love those cities too.

Connect Apple Music or enter artists manually → get matched → shareable result card.

Tested it on myself: 7 out of 10 cities it suggested actually matched my lifestyle and preferences. Got heavy results on British cities (Glasgow, Manchester) and Australian ones (Melbourne, Sydney) - all have that indie/alternative vibe I gravitate toward in real life.

Free, no signup. Curious how accurate it is for others.

I think this is a cool idea, but can you explain the matching process a little more? My hunch is it biases in a way where the more obscure the preference the larger the size of the city? My suggestions were all big cities, one I've lived in before and liked, but I wouldn't really connect to the music in any particular way? Except for that aspect: it was easier to find people who were into obscure niche X in a larger city.

I don't want to be all negative, because I like the idea a lot. What if you were able to find data sources for where musicians are based, or where they play shows most often? Using that might help cut through some of the population bias?

Just ranting into a textfield with my coffee, anyway cool project & thanks for sharing!
