An Extensible Representation for Playlists
نویسنده
چکیده
The increasing availability of digital music has created a greater need for methods to organize large collections of music. The eXtensible PlayList (XPL) representation allows users to express playlists with varying degrees of specificity. XPL handles references to exact files or URLs as well as rules for selecting content based on metadata constraints. XPL also allows the transitions between tracks in a playlist to be specified. This paper describes the features of XPL, a system for rendering XPL specifications and use of an advanced XPL renderer in an existing application.

Analysing and Evaluating Playlists on Music Maps
Paths drawn to a Music Map are used to quickly and intuitively create playlists by drawing figures onto the map surface. In this paper the correlation between the quality of a playlist and its visual shape on a Music Map is investigated. A series of amateur and professional playlists together with generated playlists are analysed according to their visualisation on a Music Map. Furthermore, the...
متن کاملLearning to Embed Songs and Tags for Playlist Prediction
Automatically generated playlists have become an important medium for accessing and exploring large collections of music. In this paper, we present a probabilistic model for generating coherent playlists by embedding songs and social tags in a unified metric space. We show how the embedding can be learned from example playlists, providing the metric space with a probabilistic meaning for song/s...
متن کاملPATS: Realization and user evaluation of an automatic playlist generator
A means to ease selecting preferred music referred to as Personalized Automatic Track Selection (PATS) has been developed. PATS generates playlists that suit a particular contextof-use, that is, the real-world environment in which the music is heard. To create playlists, it uses a dynamic clustering method in which songs are grouped based on their attribute similarity. The similarity measure se...
متن کاملExploring the Music Genome: Lyric Clustering with Heterogeneous Features
This research explores the clustering of songs using lyrics features grouped into similar classes and heterogeneous combinations. Simple techniques are used to extract 140 features for analysis with Kohonen self-organising maps. These maps are evaluated using visual analysis and objective measures of validity with respect to the clustering of eight hand-selected song pairs. According to gold st...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Characteristics of Shared Playlists for Music Recommendation
The automated generation of music playlists – as supported by modern music services like last.fm or Spotify – represents a special form of music recommendation. When designing a “playlisting” algorithm, the question arises which kind of quality criteria the generated playlists should fulfill and if there are certain characteristics like homogeneity, diversity or freshness that make the playlist...
