[Playlists] Suggest similar songs for my playlist to add

Create a feature that recommends songs to add to the playlist as the user builds it.
I only created an account so I could submit this idea because I think it could be a really good feature for a service that's started putting itself into the "Discover Music" category. I love the new Discover Weekly playlists and I think you've really got a good algorithm or something to recommend music to your users that really fits what we want to listen to. 
So here's my idea. A couple months ago, my family and I were taking a long road trip for vacation. Naturally, I decided to create a road trip playlist to last the long road trip. At first I just started throwing in songs that I thought I would enjoy most on the road but after a while, it became slightly harder for me to decide what to add to my playlist. Anyways, I thought it might be cool if you create a feature that recommends songs to add to the playlist as the user builds it. Imagine, if you will, that after you initially add 5 to 10 songs to the playlist you're creating, a feature appears on the screen with suggestions on music to add to the playlist based on what you've already added. Of course, as you add more the sugestions would be more in sync with the sound you're going for. 
I think if a feature like this were to be added, I would enjoy putting together more playlists; a playlist for studying, for driving, Christmas music, Summer music, whatever. Everyone would be like "Woah, your playlist is on point" and I'd give credit to Spotify for being the best playlist collaborator a guy could ask for. Maybe, this idea has already been suggested but maybe it hasn't and I'm awesome for coming with such an awesome idea. Think about it, Spotify peeps, and get back to me on whether you think it's a great idea or not. 

Updated: 2015-08-06Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search. ;)
This idea is a re-post of this inactive idea.

  • What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

    What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
    Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
    Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
    This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi, Lincoln,
    A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
    1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
    2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
    3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
    4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
    5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
    Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
    I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
    After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
    Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
    Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

    I was trying to create a playlist to add to a second ipod I have and save my library of my other ipod and hopefully transfer between the two or organize additional playlist between the two.  What I did was erase both and and back at point zero. lost everything.  Tried to follow directions but I'm too stupid. Used the 'New play list" wrong i think and I know where original files are but no directions as to get it back.  Its supposed to be a simple function of ipod bet not so!

    An iTunes playlist can only contain songs that are in the same iTunes library as the playlist.  There is neither a manual nor a scripted way to create an iTunes playlist that contains songs that are not in the library.  
    So, to do what you want, you would need to create a single consolidated library with all the music, and then create playlists off of that.  Since your current drive is "chock a block full," the best way to do this will be to spend $50-$100 and get an external hard drive for iTunes.

  • A list of most played songs for a spesific periode

    Hey
    I wonder how i can create a playlist that shows a list of the most played songs for a spesific periode. I want to see for ex which songs have been played most in January 09, and how many time that month.
    I tried like with the type of playlist that is shown in the picture above, but it only shows my most played songs of all time that has been played in the period,but not the songs that have been played most in that period, and how many times(^^)....
    Hope someone understood, and knows how to create this playlist which would be wonderful!

    Can't do it. iTunes only keeps track of the last played date, not every date it was played.

  • Suggestion: map function for contacts

    suggestion for iphone contacts - i think it would be awesome if there was a "map" function associated w the contacts addresses, so that if you are traveling or whatnot you could pull up an area and see what friends are around there, i know facebook had a similar app for a while, but a lot of people no longer but their addresses on there or just aren't on facebook, this way you would see where their actual location is based on what is in your phone

    Find My Friends already does this.

  • Suggested feature useful for side cache scenarios

    According to a phone discussion with Jon Purdy, when using a TransactionMap/CacheAdapter, a large amount of lock-related traffic goes out to the cache servers, even in case of OPTIMISTIC/GET_COMMITTED (in the Coherence prepare phase of the JTA transaction commit, in this particular setting) .
         Let's consider the situation, when the same data is written to the database (Oracle) and to the transactional-cache together, first writing the row to the DB, then to the cache. Let the transactional cache be configured as OPTIMISTIC/GET_COMMITTED, and the DB configured as READ_COMMITTED.
         In this case, the DB ensures, that after prepare() on the XAResource for the Oracle connection completed, you acquired the corresponding lock in the DB to all entries that Coherence would try to lock. These locks in the DB would be released during DB commit.
         Therefore, in this situation, all Coherence locking and lock releasing operations (which would come after DB prepare and before DB commit, so i.e. they would be held only while all the corresponding locks also exist in the DB) are unnecessary, provided all the clients use this policy to write to the DB and the cache.
         Therefore I would suggest a property for the CacheAdapter which would disable lock-related traffic in situations like this. It could also be extended to the TransactionMap, because similar mechanisms might be in place with other resources as well, not only 2PC Oracle.
         This could reduce the latency of the Coherence commit operations in these cases.
         Of course, I may have overlooked something, but currently I believe what I wrote up there is correct.
         Best regards,
         Robert

    Hi Robert,
         Considering the situation where Coherence:
         * is acting as a "fully reliable" cache (e.g. using a cache entry in an optimistic transaction will never result in a rollback)
         * only caches data from other data sources (e.g. Coherence never acts as the system of record)
         There are two primary means of affecting the state of the cache:
         * updates to the database will update the cache
         * reads from the database will update the cache
         The challenge is how to handle the situation where one thread is committing changes and another thread is reading from the database. Oracle usually will not block reads (especially with READ_COMMITTED), so these are fully concurrent operations.
         So you could end up with the sequence (simulating the existance of global time, and ignoring potential server failures):
         t1 SELECT from Oracle (A=1)
         t1 UPDATE to Oracle (A=2)
         t1 PREPARE (acquires lock)
         t2 reads from cache (A=1)
         t1 COMMIT and update the cache (A=2)
         This would show up as a optimistic concurrency exception (if t2 tries to commit). The only difference is that t2 got "stale" (obsolete READ_COMMITTED) data from the cache rather than the database. Cache reads will generally be no more dirty than database reads.
         In this particular case, you can clean up cache reads by pinning active items out of the cache. In other words, lock the cache entry and then mark the entry as "temporarily nonexistant". Subsequent reads will block (if reading with a lock) or will read dirty data (if reading without a lock) ... it's the usual tradeoff between optimistic and pessimistic concurrency strategies. For read-heavy apps that can tolerate the occasional rollback, you can get by with dirty reads. For write-heavy apps, or those that can't handle rollbacks cleanly, you'll want to use the cache locking approach (effectively using the cache as a pessimistic "throttle" for the optimistic database).
         Using this pinning approach converts the transactions to hierchical form, allowing you to explicitly lock cache entries, with better reliability characteristics than XA transactions, and with less overhead.
         The short form of this is that you might not want to use Coherence as a transactional resource if it is acting as a pure cache of the database. If you have data in Coherence that is not in the database, then the current transactional approach is probably best.
         Thoughts/comments?

  • I have more than one copy of the same song in my iTunes. Some have the icloud symbol next to them and some do not. I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them.

I need to clean this up but I am afraid to delete the songs for fear I will lose them. Please help! On top of that my Mac keeps telling me my start up disc is full and I am deleting stuff like crazy!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    It won't be a problem if you delete your extra copies.
    I don't download very much to my tv, I do sometimes if I'm in bed but usually I do it from itunes. However if you have not fully downloaded something to the tv it is possible to start the download from itunes as well, you have likely activated 'check for downloads fin itunes in some way, could be by opening itunes, selecting 'check or downloads' from the advanced menu or that you simply have automatically check for downloads set in your prefs and it has checked coincidentally.

  • How to get similar color for objects in different pictures

    how do you get similar color for objects in different pictures
    I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?
    I have tried duplicating layers and it just replaces the whole image, it seems to work using levels layers but not the other layers ... I have 30 more images to do and would ideally not like to adjust all the images manually ? I dont mind doing minor tweaks. Essentially all the images where taken with the same camera and lighting and lens's ...

    You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

    Place the sound file on the slide and use Builds to change the images during the sound files duration.
    Inspector > Builds > choose an effect
    Delivery: by paragraph
    more options > start build manually or,
    use automatically;    and select a delay (the amount of time the slides  show). For example; if you have a 30 second sound file and 10 images, enter a 3 second delay.

  • HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

    Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

    Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
    Hope someone else might have a solution.
