About
Launch MusicWander
Built for people who chase the next favorite, not the next chart.
MusicWander is an independent discovery radio that turns real listening history into underground-first recommendations.
Privacy-first
No accounts, no ads, no tracking pixels. Your session stays local.
Fast and lightweight
Vanilla JS, small payloads, and zero app bloat.
How it works
- Read your Last.fm top artists and tags (3-12 months).
- Model taste shifts with temporal learning.
- Explore similar-artist graphs and tag overlap.
- Generate a queue of 30-second previews.
What you get
- Discovery, Balanced, and Accessible modes.
- Hidden gems filters for underground-only picks.
- Like, skip, and export to build playlists elsewhere.
- Local history so you can revisit past finds.
Limitations (by design)
- New Last.fm accounts get less precise matches.
- Some niche artists have limited preview availability.
- MusicWander is discovery, not full streaming.
Technology stack
Vanilla JavaScript, Last.fm for data, and iTunes previews for audio. The engine blends collaborative filtering, tag co-occurrence, and similarity scoring.
We keep the stack lean so the app loads fast and runs entirely in the browser.
