Deep Cuts
Finding all the music from your favorite artists that you never heard before.
What It Does
I've heard a lot of people say they wish their favorite artist would put out a new record. I'm guessing most of the time they've never even heard half of that artist's existing catalog. This is the app to prove that and help.
How it works
Import an artist and their discography, mark the songs you've heard and access the ones you didn't. I have playing directly from Apple Music integrated into the app or playlist export if you want to put the deep cuts into another app.
Built with
- Built with: Swift/SwiftUI on iOS 17 over SwiftData, whose Apple Music import scope-filters albums and collapses reissue
- editions before fetching a single track list — and whose catalog reads page the raw Apple Music REST API through
- MusicDataRequest, because MusicKit's typed relationships hand back one capped batch and hard-crash if you ask for another.
- iPhone only.
- Runs as: no server and no third-party dependencies; the Xcode project and the app icon are both generated (xcodegen from
- project.yml, a Swift script for the icon), and the pure logic — scope filtering, edition collapsing, popularity matching,
- playlist export — is covered by a plain swiftc shell harness rather than XCTest, since the simulator has no Apple Music
- account to test against.
