First track couldn't be found. Second track could be found, but it couldn't find the aforementioned playlist (with almost 200k likes). Third song also can't seem to be found.
So I'm thinking that the indexing is not complete. Unless I misunderstand something.
I tried it with a few tracks from a very popular playlist ('Yoga Electronica'). First track couldn't be found. Second track could be found, but it couldn't find the aforementioned playlist (with almost 200k likes). Third song also can't seem to be found. So I'm thinking that the indexing is not complete.

Currently the database contains only ~18k playlists and ~1.4M tracks. So only the relationships between them are used in the app.
Edit: theres even a counter at the top of the page, but it takes a while to show up, because of the HN effect.
I once built a site that used Spotify playlist data directly. The intention was that you could take one of your own playlist and find playlists that have the greatest overlaps. The intention was to find people with a similiar musical taste to yourself. Interestingly I found a lot of new music that way and also found other music directions that suddenly interested me. Thinking this a little further, it provides the pe…
I have a largish group of friends that I met through similar tastes in music and being "neighbours" on last.fm.

> Thinking this a little further, it provides the perfekt basis for a dating application. Music is a very personally representation of oneself and if you find someone who has the same muscial taste, you already have a common basis for communication. I don't think a shared taste in music is that important, or at all, in a relationship but this is the premise of aptly named Tastebuds[1], a dating app based around favor…
So, no music taste isn't ultimate be-all-and-end-all factor but for some it can be very important!
Tastebuds seems only to have a facebook login - hm, not everyone uses FB! Strange that they don't have a Spotify login, probably the same issues that other apps face when they start to store Spotify data.

True, there are definitely people who don't place any importance on music but for those that do, musical taste can be very important in a relationship.

Good start, but I'm not sure how song title can extract meaningful similar songs. I put in "Big Time" (song by Peter Gabriel) and it came back with a list of songs from a variety of genres. From smooth jazz selections to songs by Bjork. I think you really need a machine learning approach that categorizes songs by their signal content into categories.
