Title: Automatic ratings (like Tivo suggestions)?
Post by: tomgrossi on February 04, 2005, 03:58:17 pm
I tired searching to see if something like this was discussed but couldn't find anything.  Does anyone know if there is software that will allow one to automatically calculate estimated song ratings based on a smaller subset of songs you have already rated.  Basically, I'd like to have a feature similar to what Tivo does in suggesting programs by taking advantage of other users' song preferences and using a clustering algorithm to predict what you would like.  I belive Yahoo's streaming service also does something similar.  I once had a program called MoodLogic that was also similar but it doesn't seem to exactly fit the bill.  Any other suggestions?  I have about 10,000 songs and don't want to rate them all so I havenb't used the rating feature at all.

It isn't exactly what you're looking for but Audioscrobbler does some interesting things along similar lines.
