Comments on the Music Genome Project
For those who don’t know, the Music Genome Project is the database behind Pandora‘s streaming service. Unlike many services that follow the recommendation format of “you like song ‘a’, and Bob likes song ‘a’ and song ‘b’, so you are likely to enjoy song ‘b’ as well”, Pandora’s algorithm is “you like song ‘a’, and song ‘b’ sounds like song ‘a’, so you will probably like song ‘b’ as well”. This method, at least to me, seems to be much more accurate.
