The homepage is an empty page with just one search box in the middle. It does not work in firefox.
Hmm I actually use Firefox myself, but tbh, it can be a bit flaky atm due to the sudden surge in traffic. Should become more reliable soon!
Show HN: I trained an AI model on 120M+ songs from iTunes

#282This is great! Found a few good songs I've never heard before. Now, it would be awesome is it could generate playlists I could play directly in Apple Music.
Playlists coming very soon!

#283How did you extract the embeddings from the songs? Did you use a pre-trained model? Or have you trained you own model (using autoencoders or something similar)?

#284Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree with everyone's criticisms that it seems to identify similar tempo and melodic riff, irrespective of genre. But to me this is a feature, not a bug. I could see this or something like it opening my eyes to music I would never possibly have found on my own. I really like it! Spotify on the other hand seems to want to send me to the same group of artists and tracks I've listened to before, following some Collatz…
> But to me this is a feature, not a bug. I could see this or something like it opening my eyes to music I would never possibly have found on my own. What makes it different from a big "play me a random song" button then?
They have some similarity based on the actual music.

I had to train my own model :)

#286The similarities between songs are quite literal (e.g. songs are similar in some technical sense), but their mood, cultural meaning, etc., is completely different. I got some pretty festive pop as recommendations for similar songs to Enjoy the Silence from Depeche Mode - but the chord progressions and amount of syllables in choirs were similar. No idea how this works and whether that's by chance or on purpose.

#287Umm... is it just me or there's no "Search" button? Linux, Firefocks 50.1.

#288Everything 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.
Hm, maybe it's the hug of death but I can't search for any songs as of now. (Stuck loading)
EDIT: It's working on my desktop. Above was on mobile Firefox/Chrome.

#289Don't tell me, let me guess. All songs sound like English-language American pop songs.
(Sorry... I'm being a jerk here. This is a cool thing that you built. I only wish iTunes had a greater variety of music.)

#290I have been wanting to do similar things. But, shied away because I wasn't in the mood to find out if this sort of thing was legal or not. Can someone here who knows this space better talk about the legal aspect of doing something like this?
I doubt T&Cs have included "no training embeddings with our data" yet; so they're probably clear there (and it might be Fair Use in USA??).
On the main question, I think we'll be waiting for Getty v whoever (Dall-E?) lawsuit to see what courts think.
A useful indicator might be have any major corporation's released AIs trained on public data - because they will be the prime targets for people looking to sue and walk away with lots of money. You can get plugins for Photoshop to do AI imagery, but I don't think Adobe sell any?
