Hello IC people 
,
Introducing Audionaut: An Internet Computer-powered radio player equipped with a database housing over 41,500+ radio stations worldwide, spanning 215 countries.
Our goal is to have the most comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date radio station database.
About the project:
I initiated this project a few months ago while in search of a dataset to replicate Byron Becker’s (@icme ) work on the super nova candb demo. Originally, my goal was to learn more about canDB by developing a frontend decentralized application (dapp) for experimenting with a canDB backend canister. Although my initial focus was on creating a simple dapp for basic CRUD operations, my curiosity was piqued when I considered incorporating functionality for playing radio stations. From that point onward, one thing led to another, resulting in the current state of the project. 
Current features:
-
Extensive Radio Database: Navigate through a comprehensive collection of over 41,500+ radio stations, encompassing a diverse range of genres, spanning across continents and representing 215 countries. It provides an extensive exploration of the global music landscape.
-
Personalized Playlists: Craft and curate playlists tailored to your preferences. Your music selection, governed by your preferences, grants you control over your personalized musical universe.
-
Regular Updates: The database and front end dapp undergo continuous refinement, ensuring its dynamic nature to deliver the latest and most current musical compositions from every corner of the expansive sonic universe
.
Roadmap:
-
Database Optimization: Streamlining our database by addressing duplicates and broken links to enhance overall efficiency.
-
Genre Filtering: Introducing a genre-based filtering system, allowing users to navigate and discover stations based on their musical preferences.
-
Social Integration: Enabling social interaction by empowering users to comment on the latest songs or programs associated with each station.
-
Mobile Native App: Currently in Beta as a Proof of Concept, our mobile app enhances accessibility for users on the go.
-
Desktop App (Mac, Linux, Windows): Extending our platform’s reach with dedicated desktop applications for various operating systems.
-
Station & User Stats: Providing detailed statistics for both stations and users, offering insights into usage patterns and preferences.
-
Add AI model for search, think of a promt “Give me Indie radio stations in Europe” or “What are some popular Bossa Nova stations in South America”.

. But, since I started diving into the audionaut database, I stumbled upon a lot of independent radio stations around the world almost untouched by commercials. Also, having a DJ spinning tracks that I like without me spending time finding or adding music to playlists is always a plus
