Open source project aims to overhaul music search
Software that listens to and analyzes music is driving a Sun open source project, which aims to build a music recommendation system that surpasses the systems used today by iTunes and Amazon.
Automated recommendations today are typically based not on analysis of the music, but on who's listening to which songs, said Paul Lamere, principal investigator of Sun's Search Inside the Music. If one customer buys a Beatles album, he'll be told what other music has been purchased by fellow Beatles fans.
Listeners' preferences and buying habits vary widely, so these systems lead to some wacky recommendations. Lamere said one popular music service has told people who purchased the Britney Spears hit "Baby One More Time" that they might also enjoy an audio recording of the report on prewar intelligence by the U.S. Senate intelligence committee.
