Aggregated search across streaming services

Similar to how the Sonos app does it. When you add new music services, showing results from each API ping in one place, categorized by service would be awesome. Maybe even with an option to toggle between songs, albums, and artists that match against the search.

Apple Music is in and aggregated search in v1.2.0 is ready for new services! Thanks for the suggestion taco_tuesdays.

Great to know. Bandcamp is definitely on our wishlist ... we're thinking Soundcloud next, followed by some of the big guys, followed by Bandcamp as they make their APIs more publicly available (fingers crossed). If you'd like, you can go to your profile -> Settings -> Streaming Services in GM and highlight the services you'd like us to integrate with next - we'll be regularly checking in on these metrics to inform our roadmap.

Arthur (Grey Matter): Yea I've highlighted the ones I'd like to see added first. As an example, here's a link that shows a screenshot of Sonos' search results compiled into one view: https://musicpartners.sonos.com/node/364

I think it makes sense for you all to go after the big providers (Apple, Google, Spotify) for maximum coverage, then focus on the smaller players (Amazon, Tidal, Bandcamp, etc). I also see the benefit of integrating with something like Bandcamp, which might align with the idea that Grey Matter is about discovery of new music. All that said, I'm not sure how many people subscribe to multiple services.
