Hi! The website looks awesome! I have a problem with searching though. I can see the recommended songs below the search bar, but as I type to search something, it is just loading infinitely. I checked the network tab in DevTools and there is no requests made when typing or after typing and pressing enter.

I used Chrome. Cheers!

Edit: also, clicking away from the text input field shouldn't clear the value, in my opinion. The element which displays the results can still be hidden though. It would also be nice to control the volume of the played song.

How did you get the samples for the song? iTunes allows scraping? Your project is extremely motivational .. how long did it take you? What did you train on? I do DL for work and just play with things like cifar. This is so inspired.

Apple Music subscription is $12/month and it allows full downloads of songs.

But aren't they DRMed? Or does it let you download in mp3 or related formats directly (I'm not on Apple music)?

I've spun up Hitchin' a Ride by Green Day and I think the results are quite interesting. Despite them being completely different from one another, they somehow manage to catch the vibe of certain sections of the song.

Really cool project.

Great initiative, but if it's sampling only the few seconds previews from the songs, then I doubt it will be useful. Also, a language filter is essential for both training the model and listing the results. I searched for a few Hindi language songs that I know of, and it listed only English, Chinese and Spanish songs as related ones - which is good to explore other music, but at times I'd just want to be in my native language zone and any other language would exercise my brain more than it'd relax it.

Everything loads instantly. Plays almost instantly. And it really seems to find very similar style/beat/music. Interface is clean.

I am not sure if intentional, but the loading animation on the play buttons feels like it is in sync with when the music starts playing. Makes for a responsive feedback.
