Hey thanks for the feedback! I definitely have a lot of improvement to do on the model, it currently performs better for some styles/genres of music than others. But the model architecture I'm using is kinda outdated as well, gotta iterate on it more to improve it further! I'm also thinking of letting users upvote/downvote results, which can also help improve quality on the ranking side.

I don't know if someone already said this, but as an amateur music producer i would love to upload my songs and discover similarities. Thanks for this Amazing tool

I'll note my own experience, that Spotify and Apple Music both struggle to find me latin reggaeton outside a small subset of popular artists, and my first couple searches with this tool have found me so much music I've never heard before that matches exactly the 'vibe' I want to hear, and is introducing me to different-but-related sounds and artists I couldn't have found on my own. I agree with the other commenter - this is huge for me. Please, do whatever you need to do to monetize this so it never goes away. I would love to pay you for this.

Honestly it's loads better than current Spotify/YouTube Music suggestions. Mostly they just seem to suggest popular stuff that's heavily marketed...even though I seeded all my "thumbs up" with only eclectic stuff. Yes, it's hard to find a song I really really like, but 1-in-10 seem to be something I'd add to my eclectic "thumbs up" playlist. And almost none of them are by any artist that I've heard of before. This is huge for me. Thanks.

  You're not alone. For me, Spotify suggestions are "things you won't hate." Most everything is palatable, but forgettable and too usually not all that interesting.

    I'd like to add, it's not all the platforms' fault. Too many artists aren't artists at all. The make too little effort to be unique.

  I never get any heavily marketed music recommended on Spotify. Almost invariably it's something obscure. But I only ever listen to obscure music. I guess I'm saying I don't think the Algo is weighted for payola.

    I honestly think they try first to make you happy, second to reduce their spend.

Wanted to hop on and say this is amazing, thank you for sharing this! Also agree that it seems that it's really good at finding literally similar sounding songs, but not what I would expect a friend to recommend (this is both good and bad I guess). As someone else said, this is already way better than my spotify recs

Another strange music for your testing that gives complete bonkers recommendations: https://maroofy.com/songs/1486467186 https://maroofy.com/songs/1486467186 If you need someone to test your model, you will never find one with more eclectic/strange taste than me ;)

FWiW I had one shot and entered "Tabaran" Rather than get back anything "acoustically similar" it simply returned a list of other songs on the same album (several of which are far from being acoustically similar). No drama, you're attempting to cover a lot of ground, but I'm guessing there was no actual fingerprint there for that work and no sense of other songs that sounded similar. ADDENDUM: Okay, I had to select the song <doh> .. but still "something went wrong" - perhaps hugged to death or not found to process. No matter :-)
