There's gotta be a better way. Somewhere at the intersection of existing public curation a la Discogs (genre/style assignments, album lists), a hypothetical Wikipedia/Allmusic mashup, and a kind of conceptual theme library that overlays different viewpoints on music history and how artists relate to each other ... and ideally a visual experience to match. I've always thought that an ideal music player would actually transform the entire music player, and perhaps your surrounding environment, to match the music being played. A grotty punk club. A swank hotel bar. Coincidentally Apple's Vision Pro comes out this year.

Lisp-based computer music composition.
Useful page of links, hell, a useful portal, on audio programming.
Supposedly equal (at $39) to the $299 Bose headphones. I have the feeling these guys wouldn't approve though.
Many digital musical toys by an outfit called ixi. They look too beautiful to be practical, but definitely worth playing with. Maybe music will be VR's first killer app.
