In the project we attempt to dig into the recommendation side of Spotify, how the algorithms work, and how they shape our way of listening to and discovering new music. We chose to work primarily with the Spotify playlist “Discover Weekly”, as it generates a new playlist full of songs the user most likely have not heard at all.
The highlights:
– General insight of a consumer’s experiences with the Spotify Recommendation Algorithms.
– Awareness to how these algorithms affect the consumers choice of music.
– How the algorithms and discover weekly has affected us during the project period.
