Seems like any one data point would be worthless. If I like "Sleepless in Seattle" (which I didn't) it might be because of Romcom (no) or because of Ryan (no) or because of Hanks (yes). I wonder if there's a cluster of 10 movies, which if you knew the answer about all 10, it would predict how you would feel about a specific #11.
- matthewfelgate 7y agoYeah that was my thought too. Like 'signpost' movies that split the audience in 2 and would mean with a few key movies you could make predictions for everyone.
- hairofadog 7y agoThis! This is what drives me bananas as an Apple Music user: you can create radio stations based on a single album, song, or artist, but not on a playlist. I have come to think of it as the "Vince Guaraldi" problem, which is that if you tell Apple Music to create a radio station based on Vince Guaraldi it'll very quickly veer off into soundtracks from children's films (because of the Peanuts soundtracks) rather than what I want, which is piano jazz trios. This could also be because Apple relies on metadata (soundtracks, family entertainment) more than the attributes of the music (which instruments are being played, tempo) but it feels like a problem that could be solved by allowing radio stations based on playlists and it boggles my mind when each new release of Apple Music doesn't include that feature.

- Hammershaft 7y agoSpotify blows Apple Music out of the water on these kinds of reccomendations, the playlist radios and user discovery playlists are pretty impressive.
