@WhatTrack updated - Discover Top Songs from a Particular Artist
I've updated the @WhatTrack bot to help you now discover tracks from a particular artist. Sometimes you come across an artist but you don't know which of their other songs are good so this will help recommend an artist's top tracks.
@WhatTrack [Artist Name]
and @WhatTrack will reply soon after with a song suggestion.
Twitter doesn't allow the same tweet to be sent twice within a short span of time. So what if you want another track by the same artist? Don't worry, you can add random text to the tweet as long as you keep the [Artist Name] part. So this would work
Get Music Recommendations Simply by Tweeting @WhatTrack
I spent an afternoon creating a Twitter bot that will suggest music you might like simply by tweeting it. You don't need to follow the bot (although it will allow you to follow any updates), you just need to tweet it with a particular track you like.
@WhatTrack Linkin Park - In the End
After a few moments it will reply back to you with a new track that you might like based on the track you gave it. The dash ("-") is important because it separates the artist and the track title.
I discovered (and re-discovered) new tracks and artists during development and hopefully you do too :) It's powered by LastFM so it has quite a large library but it may not be able to recognize obscure tracks.
If you have any issues, please let me know either on this post or tweeting me (@keyboardP).
Now go tweet @WhatTrack! :D
Updated feature - Get a random track from a particular artist
Tweet
@WhatTrack [Linkin Park]
for a recommended track from that artist. This is good way to discover top tracks from an artist you're not familiar with but want to hear their good stuff. The square brackets [ ] are important so that the bot can read the artist!
