The algorithms used to make musical recommendations do statistical analysis on numerical ratings given by different people to different songs. They typically know nothing about music, as musical knowledge is understood not to improve their results. I wouldn't call them AI - they're neither knowledge-based systems nor neural networks.

Neural networks are just function approximators; there's nothing magical about them except they work really well on problems we're interested in. Would you really not consider an SVM or a Naive Bayes classifier "AI" since they don't use a very rough, very loose analogy to the brain?
