like, i'll select couple of the songs and then it gets converted into a spotify playlist.
I need spotify btw, not apple music.

Hey thanks for the feedback! I definitely have a lot of improvement to do on the model, it currently performs better for some styles/genres of music than others. But the model architecture I'm using is kinda outdated as well, gotta iterate on it more to improve it further! I'm also thinking of letting users upvote/downvote results, which can also help improve quality on the ranking side.
Another strange music for your testing that gives complete bonkers recommendations: https://maroofy.com/songs/1486467186 If you need someone to test your model, you will never find one with more eclectic/strange taste than me ;)
Also, you note "I’ve indexed ~120M+ songs from the iTunes catalog" -- could you share some of the libraries/tools you used and which you did or didnt like?
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.
What would you say was the best music similarity search or recommendation engine you've used?

The one of "similar-sounding" is:
"Смели Граничари Димитър Коларов & Стоянка Колева"
or
"The Brave Border Guards"
It's a very Soviet song from such a different world that if you send "Man Man" to it in a time machine, the group will immediately end up in the Gulag.
So, it's all about the "similarity" definition. But it's fun of course.
Unfortunately failed quite spectacularly for the song I selected. I chose "Why Hide" by Mark Ronson and it somehow managed to pick the exact music I tend to dislike.
This 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…
Categorising music is surprisingly different. See this paper from https://everynoise.com/ : https://everynoise.com/EverynoiseIntro.pdf IIRC they try to classify music on 17 different points/features. What you see on the web is an attenpt to visualise (and provide a guide to music based on) some of them
Echo nest was great for its time, but if they have kept up, they're not exposing their more modern learned features to users anymore.
