Somewhat related, Gustav Söderström from Spotify was recently discussing with Lex Fridman about various topics, including the problem of music recommendations. This was pretty interesting. Spotify had for example acquired some company, which is looking into how music is structured to come up with recommendations. This should help in discovering new music, which does not yet have enough plays to be picked up by more traditional recommendation systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-9Mpe7NhkM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-9Mpe7NhkM
