Best algorithm for finding similar songs?

technon · 09-15-2019, 03:00 AM

There are many sites that have algorithms for giving you recommendations of songs that are similar to a particular song.

Obviously, the recommendations vary in quality. Sometimes the recommendations are spot on, sometimes they are not similar at all.

So my question is simple. Which such system do you think give the most accurate recommendations? Which one do you use?

Spotify can read my mind, it can read yours also, just throw on random and start thinking..

I don't have/use Spotify. Is there any way to use it's recommendation system for a particular song without being an active user?

Well, I was going to mention Spotify as well.
If I got this right, you don't want to purchase a subscription, technon?

I use Spotify for playing albums, but for exploring I prefer YouTube. If I use Spotify for more than an album's worth of songs I get bombarded with adds. So I use it very sparingly so I can get through an album in without interruptions when I do, but then that's it.

If you’d like to find similar songs on an app try ditto.town. Ditto learns from users and looks very promising. Check it out!Thanks
