Music streaming services have tons of music, but no easy way to simply shuffle over all of it, or explore it outside of their recommendation algorithms.So I took the database of 43m songs from Musicbrainz.org and made my own player, with b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶j̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ Wikipedia integration and playback via Apples MusicKit, plus a 3D VR version via WebXR.Short demo: https://stardrift.gerlach.dev/demo/stardrift.mp4Direct link to the 3D galaxy: https://stardrift.gerlach.dev/galaxyThat last bit was the most fun to build (with AI help) and thus escalated a bit into a VR playground. 2.3 million stars/albums, a custom Three.js UI kit and a bunch of extras to have something to do while the music plays.

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
