Music recommendation: the art and science
Oscar Celma and Paul Lamere have put together a worthwhile set of slides on the art and science of music recommendation. The slides speak to two important themes as it relates to music in our lives: how to find new music for your own listening enjoyment, and how “Music 2.0″ commercial plays can help you find the same.
These slides are full of fascinating data and observations, but close with perhaps its most compelling: music discovery is in its pre-Google stage. Much work remains to be done, and, like Google’s ascendance, some winner is waiting to take a huge slice of this business.
