Duke Listens!: Visit my main blog at MusicMachinery.com

AudioBaba a new music discovery service, calls itself the 'world's most comprehensive music technology'.  According to their web page AudioBaba (while still in Beta) will generate playlists, give you new music recommendations and give you a smart shuffle. 


AudioBaba provides a content-based recommender combined with what they call a multi-layer human analysis, and of course they adapt their recommendations and playlists based upon your listening choices.  Interestingly, AudioBaba shuns collaborative filtering completely because of the problems of popularity bias inherent in CF systems.

Right now AudioBaba recommends music from Nettwerk,  an avant-garde Canadian record label, so it is not likely to be recommending main stream  music.

Currently AudioBaba is in beta and only has a PC plugin which means that I can't try it out ...  that's too bad, I'd really like to put AudioBaba through its paces, after trying many such systems I'm wondering how well the 'world's most comprehensive system' works.  - thanks for the tip Zac
