TuneGlue was a visual music map — you typed in any artist/band, and TuneGlue provided you with a cluster of related artists/bands. It was a quick, easy way to discover music you might not otherwise find.

Life Hacker also has a little write-up explaining how TuneGlue worked.

Music Map was a similar tool — you entered the name of any artist/band, and Music Map gave you a free floating, hovering map of related artists.

Although I love music data and analytics, I didn’t use sites like TuneGlue or Music Map as a music discovery tool.

They did, however, provide nice alternatives to organize/view/think about music and bands in a different way than you might otherwise.
