What Gnoosic actually is

Gnoosic asks for three favourite artists, then proposes others one at a time and learns from whether you say you like it, dislike it or have never heard of it. The interface has barely changed since the early 2000s and the whole thing runs on collective input, not audio features.

Why it is worth your time
