Use "big data" to find music that you like

goodmusic

This project aims to use music listener databases to find new music for you to enjoy.

Datasets

Currently, I have been using the Last.fm 360K dataset. I plan to use abstractions that allow for other datasets as well.

Usage

This project currently supports the following music setups:

• iTunes on Mac OS X
• Spotify on any operating system

If you use a different music player, you may file an issue on this repository and I (or somebody else) may add support for your setup.

First, download the Last.fm music dataset. While this is running, make sure you have Go installed and a GOPATH configured.

To download the tool, run:

$ go get github.com/unixpickle/goodmusic/recommender

Now, follow the instructions on iTunes or Spotify below.

Using iTunes

Run the command as follows, and you will see similar output:

$ $GOPATH/bin/recommender itunes /path/to/usersha1-artmbid-artname-plays.tsv 100 | more

the killers (correlation of 77279.27%)
the beatles (correlation of 65038.06%)
britney spears (correlation of 63985.37%)
red hot chili peppers (correlation of 63947.08%)
...

The last argument (100 in this case) specifies how many plays an artist needs in iTunes in order to be considered. I have found that the default of 100 works fine, since most of my favorite artists have hundreds of plays and I have few artists in iTunes that I don't enjoy.

Using Spotify

Run the command as follows, and you will see similar output:

$ go run *.go spotify ~/Downloads/lastfm-dataset-360K/usersha1-artmbid-artname-plays.tsv 1

The last argument (1 in this case) specifies how many songs you must have by a given artist for that artist to be considered.
