Fathom is meant to be a playful, immersive environment for exploring and discovering new music. It uses artist and album recommendations from Last.fm and plays music from Grooveshark.

Fathom was conceived and created by Ian Gilman, with design by Kevin Hanes.

Click on albums to play them (they'll move to the center position). Use the Q button to queue albums up to play in sequence. Once the queue runs out, albums will be played at random.

Space bar plays/pauses. Right and left arrow keys take you to the next and previous tracks, respectively.

For technical support, go here.

Fathom gets the tracks it plays from Grooveshark, which in turn gets them from user uploads. These tracks are sometimes misnamed or filed under the wrong album. Some albums don't have all of their tracks available. It just depends upon what's been uploaded to Grooveshark. If you'd like to improve things, you can upload new tracks to Grooveshark and/or flag incorrect song info there.

Fathom is still in early development. You can file bugs on github.

Fathom is built with Google App Engine, jQuery, and Sound Manager 2, using APIs from Last.fm and Grooveshark.

Now that you have a Fathom account, you can connect it to your Grooveshark account (in the next tab in this panel).

In the future you'll be able to scrobble to Last.fm, save your favorites here in Fathom, etc... Fathom is a work in progress.

You can get back to this panel from the account menu in the upper right.
