Feedback: "sounds like" for music is more than just rhythm and tone. The search results are all useless for me because two songs with similar sheet music often have wildly different lyrical styles and subjects.

#123Would love to know more about how you produced the embeddings!

#124This is very interesting, but unfortunately I haven't had the greatest luck in finding new songs I would enjoy listening to. It absolutely finds similar sounding tracks, but it doesn't distinguish which part of the song made it enjoyable. There's no tempo consistency or genre consistency or even main instrument/vocal timbre consistency between recommendations. I think locking one or more of those dimensions would all…
I am enjoying Raga's Dance, which is nothing like what I was just listening to. Thank you for the recommendation ;)

#125The search feature is great from what I can tell!
I tried an obscure(?) Japanese rock band "9 Ball" and they were extremely high on the search results. I can't even find the album by using Apple Music.
Searching for 9 Ball in Maroofy shows them in spots 2-6, easily: https://maroofy.com/songs/185487468
When I try to search for the same band in Apple Music, I get this jumbled mess of results: https://music.apple.com/us/search?term=9%20ball
Even searching for a specific song of the band, the correct artist is 5th on the list: https://music.apple.com/us/search?term=9%20ball%2024%20hours and doesn't even link to any of their songs: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/9-ball/28599994
I literally cannot use Apple Music search to get to the page to buy Sound Seeds by 9 Ball, without going through Maroofy first. I had thought Apple removed that album years ago due to some kind of licensing issue. Strangley enough, even though there is an option to "Buy for $7.99" clicking on the button in Apple Music doesn't seem to initate any kind of prompt. Maybe this is old data, but the previews are still available? Who knows. Either way, the search for that information was excellent.

#126Searched for both "portishead" and "wandering star" and it just showed me songs or artists with those words in them, even if the music wasn't even remotely close ("lucero - wandering star" is very very different than "portishead - wandering star")

#127I've found probably the most egregious example of what knaik94's comment is talking about: https://maroofy.com/songs/214977681 ("Being Alive" from Company)
All the AI model seems to understand is the opening 5 seconds piano. Listen to the actual song it just opens like that because it's from a play.
I think this will struggle with any song that has build up, it's very promising, though you need a sample of entire songs not the sample Itunes gives you.

#128Seems like the recommendations are somewhat hit or miss so far. I would suggest finding a way to say why it recommended a particular song. I know that this is already common, but maybe you could come up with a new spin on it.
Also, other comments have suggested that this was trained on 120MM of the audio previews instead of the full songs. That might explain why the recommendations seem a little off for some people.

It’s interesting from a musicology POV.
I was looking at Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers and it had some Latin neighbors that make some sense to me from the synths in IitS.

#130very cool OP!
could you make an "auto playlist mode" that blends one song into another seamlessly?
