playlistwhisper··on Show HN: ÆTHRA – Writing Music as Code
The main challenge lies in helping someone articulate their own emotions, feelings, and musical intentions. Personally, I find this difficult to achieve on my own. Structured dimensions can certainly support a music project, but they may lack effectiveness if there is no clear understanding of the intended objective from the outset.

Nice project! Thanks for sharing. I would say that a robust qualification process may constitutes the primary added value of your project. Much like a sales representative who can methodically understand a prospect’s needs, it may be worth helping users clarify their internal feelings first.

Exploring how other scientific or artistic disciplines address this challenge could also be valuable.

Fair point — sometimes we build high expectations around a product that turns out to be just… okay. Thanks for sharing!

We do have the spotify mix option as a beta option in France but it is quite annoying... I definitely prefer DJ pro engine mix when it comes to auto mixing. Thanks for your feeback!

Got it. Thanks! Are you more in a leanback listening mode or do you have stronger expectations when it comes tu music curation by the AI?

Thanks for your feedback! So even the AI recommendations aren't that useful? To be honest, none of these feature are live in France so I'm still using my good old tricks to create a playlist...

I would add: complicated with regards to a genuine problem.
