This is Tim Quirk, the guy in charge of Tapedeck. We do use AI in search, and don't hide that fact, but that's the only place we do. And the reason for that is to help, not harm our artists: because we are a very new service that is still acquiring catalog, listeners are bound to get null results when they search for specific artists if we don't yet have a license with their label or distributor. In order to highlight what we DO have that a given listener might enjoy, we have built a search engine using an LLM that enables listeners to speak to the app the way you might to a friend, telling Tapedeck not just who they want to hear, but what kinds of music they want to hear. Our LLM helps the artists in our catalog get discovered even when they're not what a given user was actively looking for, and enables our listeners to find new music to enjoy. I'm a musician myself, and while I revile AI that's used to replace creators, I am in favor of AI that helps creators get found. You're certainly free to disagree, but I can guarantee you that we're not just some faceless tech company using AI thoughtlessly. Tapedeck is built by musicians and music fans FOR musicians and music fans, and we are very cautious and deliberate about how, where and why we use AI. Personally, I distrust any music service that claims they avoid all AI, because I have yet to find any reliable way of detecting when a given track has been created by AI. We don't seek such "music" out and we don't promote it, but I only promise customers thigns I can genuinely guarantee.

Response from developer
This is the challenge for any new music service. We're adding more labels and artists every day. But most distributors want to see your product live in the marketplace before they will agree to join. So you have to launch with a limited catalog in order to obtain a more complete one.
