Ready for testing!!

Our new interface is up! Our one-click listening is set up for testing. All you need to do is create a sign in name and password on the home page. From there you can start listening in a couple different ways: from an existing playlist (which are only ones that we have created), from a specific song or artist (just type in the song and artist and we return all possible matches), or hit random and see where you end up. From there we have you rate a group of songs that will allow us to better find your music tastes. Here are some pictures of the site.

Pre-Launch

The last couple days we have been putting the finishing touches on the front end. We are getting closer and closer to launching and should have it up in the next week or so. On the backed we have continued to tweak the learning algorithms on our currently limited data supply. While we have been getting more and more data, before the launch we can only do it one at a time so it is still moving very slowly.

Some great work has been done on features we were planning on adding to the website. These have nothing to do with the machine learning or song rating, but are stuff that people would be interested in having. We went through StubHub and by using their API we were able to extract dates for concerts for certain artists. Also, we can add the song lyrics by following a similar process. While not the meat of what we are trying to do, these bells and whistles will make the site look a lot better and potentially give us something that no other site currently has.
