Combining the powers of the artist origins map and LB Radio!
When you click on a country, a little button at the bottom with "Play [country]" would be cool. It would generate a playlist with a simple prompt like "country:(Mali)" and start playing it.
We should also enable clicking on countries with 0 plays, for this purpose.
Stretch goal: A "play the world" button (or just a nondescript play button in the corner of the map) which has a prompt for a playlist containing all the countries.
Super overachiever stretch goal: Probably should be another ticket, but while I'm here... light up the country squares when something from that country is currently playing!
[LB-1777] Artist origin map "play something from this country"
btw if this is getting into the weeds and sounding super annoying, you really are okay to just leave it blank!
I like to include challenges in my mockups, it is always okay to question whether they are really needed.
As said, we can leave it blank but also:
Not sure what we could hardcode. Maybe one of these (kinda useless but looks interesting!)
- Location (lat/long or 38°33′N 68°48′E)
- Area (e.g. 143,100 km2)
They are available via Wikipedia and are unlikely to ever change, but would be quite a bit of manual cutting and pasting!
It could be a hectic process for a small detail so could it be replaced with something else or could we just go ahead without that for now?
We can't fetch those stats unfortunately. No API endpoints for it.
We could potentially add new endpoints in listenbrainz to fetch that data from the MB database, but at this point it's starting to look like a big job for a small detail...
Looks great holycow23!
The artist count is from: https://musicbrainz.org/statistics/countries
Which presumably we can fetch?
But TBH I was just filling a space - if it's too complicated we could put something else there? All of the actual fun/interesting stuff (like the countries top listened artist, or the MB wikipedia link) would require backend stuff/fetching.

I think you are right, adding an entirely new page will hide the feature away.
Let's add it in the existing map as you suggested, and revisit it at a later date when we have more related features (like the "personal stats + country" playlists).
Does this look nice and could you help me with fetching the Artists count for the country
Yeah I went through the codebase too, couldn't find a solution for "and" so for now we could ahead with just the "Play India" button.
Unfortunately mayhem has confirmed there is no way to have 'country' AND 'user.
So we would just have the one "play india" play button. I am okay with this though. Or do you still think it is confusing, with the proposed updated layout, mr_monkey?
