Podcast integration is next.
Thanks to my old Greek friendTrackGenius™ is starting to explore podcast links as part of the same sharing layer, so episodes and shows can move across apps with the same clean handoff.
TrackGenius™ Updates
Every improvement we’ve shipped.
TrackGenius™ is built in public. This page is a living record of how the product evolves.
Enhancement log
The product as it grows.
Newest improvements stay at the top. Each note connects to something users feel: cleaner links, clearer analytics, stronger matching, easier sharing, or a smoother app open.
Albums should feel like a real collection again.
Heard a complaint at happy hourA great album should be immediately visible, not hidden behind one track. TrackGenius™ is making albums feel more like the old CD jewel case: obvious, complete, and easy to come back to.
Smoother search, cleaner themes, tighter playlists, and a better first-time flow.
The first few minutes should feel easyThe app is getting calmer where it needs to be, more responsive where it should feel instant, and a little more personal without getting louder.
Themes should make TrackGenius™ feel like yours.
Advice from the GOATSame clean handoff, more personality around it. Themes help the app match the music you live with, not just the default skin it shipped with.
Shared playlists no longer inflate track totals.
Totals should mean what they sayPlaylist follows can keep moving without making your library count feel wrong. Shared playlist tracks stay separate from the tracks that are actually yours.
Offline music should still feel like music.
Free Wi-Fi killed my vibeWhen the network drops, TrackGenius™ can use what is already on the phone, explain the handoff once, and keep the library from feeling stuck.
Cleanup passes keep old links getting better.
Every weird share teaches the systemAs real shares expose messy metadata, stale fallbacks, and provider quirks, cleanup scripts quietly tighten the library so yesterday's rough edge becomes tomorrow's normal behavior.
Safer destination matching is getting sharper.
Missing is better than wrongWhen TrackGenius™ needs more confidence on a service match, it chooses the safer search path. Matching is getting clearer and more direct without forcing bad destinations.
Creator beta requests and reporting are being tightened.
Early creator asks turned into a real workflowThe creator beta flow now has a clearer path from a creator profile or music link to useful cross-platform analytics.
Albums should work for partial stacks.
We love stacksA stack does not need to be the whole album to matter. If you saved favorites from an album, TrackGenius™ should still make that album easy to find and reuse.
The latest app release is live in the App Store.
Beta made it to everyoneThis App Store build makes TrackGenius™ more reliable in the real world: local music can keep playing offline, playlist follows open cleaner, preferred app handoffs feel smoother, and artwork recovers when the network comes back.
Better OpenURL handling for incoming playlist follows.
Found during bar crawl with bad networkPlaylist follow links open into the app more cleanly, with the web page still acting as the fallback when the app is not ready.
Smoother open into your preferred music app.
Friend sent the right track in the wrong appRemembered Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and TIDAL preferences are handled more carefully so repeat opens feel faster without forcing weak search fallbacks.
Cleaner SoundCloud artist and title detection.
A title looked right until it opened wrongSoundCloud shares that look like Title - Artist by Uploader now keep the real artist out of the title and avoid treating a random uploader as the artist.
Playlist actions now speak in follows.
People understand follows faster than downloadsPublic playlist pages and user profiles now say Follow playlist, matching how listeners understand live playlist updates.
Stacks are album favorites, not playlists.
Album favorites needed their own laneStacks now stay focused on favorites from one album, making them fast reusable picks instead of another playlist format.
iPhone and iPad playlist updates are part of the product.
Crushed on a girl; didn't know her provider so made her a TrackGenius™ playlistPlaylist followers can get update pushes on iPhone and iPad, with grouped notifications, mute controls, unsubscribe support, and playlist pages that keep the music easy to reopen.
Stack analytics now reflect real signal activity.
Numbers disagreed, so we made the signal clearerStack pages now show music-app open signals as the primary signal count, with browser-confirmed clicks broken out separately for stricter measurement.
Creator analytics speaks to value first.
Creators asked what happened after the shareThe creator page now focuses on share activity, conversions, session data, link reuse, public creator profiles, and automatic links for the big music services.
YouTube links are handled more flexibly.
A YouTube link should just workPlain YouTube video links with channel-style authors can create TrackGenius™ links instead of failing when the metadata format is less tidy.
