Million-song dataset: take it, it’s free
The newly-released dataset will inevitably lead to some fascinating research. Incidentally, the Ars post mentions that Pandora uses trained musicologists to recommend music based on your preferences and habits. I wonder how Apple produces Genius results.
Anyway, Google Music is on the horizon, and being an algorithm-savvy bunch, I’d assume they would be quick to jump at the chance to layer an algorithm on top of their new service.
Cool iPhone app that uses Echo Nest Tempo Data.
