Edit: This was the 2018 MetaBrainz April Fools’ joke, thank you to everyone who participated! And to those who didn’t, the “recommendation system” would display a fake loading icon and then always open this video in fullscreen auto-play.
Edit 2: If you haven’t already, you can still check this out until some time tomorrow.
ListenBrainz now has a recommendation system!
For the last couple of days @ferbncode, @iliekcomputers and @rob have been hacking away on a shiny new recommendation system for ListenBrainz using Apache Spark.
This system can analyze a user’s listens and, using the more than 100 million listens collected so far, generate personalized recommendation for a song that they will not have heard before but are pretty much guaranteed to like.
With some minor interface additions from yours truly, that recommendation system is now built into ListenBrainz.
What it looks like
How you can help
If you’ve submitted any listens to ListenBrainz, click on your username in the top right corner, then “Your Listens” and you’ll see a “Recommendations” tab with further instructions.
If you haven’t used ListenBrainz yet, feel free to check out the recommendations for rob, iliekcomputers, ferbncode and me.
Please let us know if you’ve enjoyed our recommendations and leave some feedback on the interface.
