Purpose
Aside from fulfilling the requirements of our final project for CSCE 315, we hope that this page will allow whatever users that come across it a way to find new music and online concert events during the pandemic. Finding new artists and songs is difficult depending on the music streaming platform you use, so we hope that this website will help with that!
Requirements
This project needed to use three different APIs. We decided to use four! The four that our team chose were the Last.fm, BandsInTown, Musixmatch, and Apple Music APIs.
The Last.fm API is the main driving force behind this project, providing similar artists and top tracks when a user searches based on an artist they like.
The BandsInTown API is used on each artist page and provides in person or online concerts for that artist.
The Musixmatch API provides the lyrics snippet on each song page which gives users with hearing impairments a way to see the lyrics.
Lastly, the Apple Music API embeds a player for a requested song, allowing users to enjoy music directly from the website.
Accessibility
This webpage has a variety of color palettes for users to choose from. This not only solves the problem of differing tastes, but of certain forms of colorblindness as well. We also allow the hearing impaired to see the lyrics of suggested songs visually if they are have trouble listening to the song on the embedded player.
A note from the developers
Our team of developers have a wide variety of music tastes and each one of us have found a new artist while creating this product, so we hope you will too!
