How the hell do you even get access to the entire iTunes catalog?

#42Really cool, quite surprising that this hasn't been done (well) before afaik.

#43I have no idea what metric the AI is using for 'similarity' but this just sounds like random results to me. None of the vocals, style, genre, and so on are in any way similar. When you look at recommendation engines on Spotify and YouTube music they do a much better job at this than this engine. I think maybe if you had access to data that users enjoy you could cross reference them to find patterns and use that to order your results.

#45I searched for "Hot Chip" and all the recommendations were other Hot Chip songs... is that normal? I was expecting different artists, and honestly not expecting any songs by the same artist.
Pop in a specific Hot Chip song and it'll work better I reckon

#46Tested with my own music production and the first similar result was quite impressive!

#47Just tried it - I Walk Up by Luke Christopher and Memories is not too bad! Admittedly - encountered quite a few problems as part of this though - with a few random pop songs in the list.

#49How did you get access to 120,000,000 songs from iTunes? Not just the listing, but the actual audio.

#50How did you scrape the audio of 120M songs? That sounds expensive?
Also curious about this… It seems impossible.
