How machine learning and AI algorithms are changing music ?

We all know about the wonders of AI and ML, and the disruption it has brought in the entertainment industry . Machine learning algorithms are changing the way we listen to music . Youtube now knows which song to play next based on your playing history, Soundcloud and Spotify expose you to artists you have never heard before . By analysing millions of songs and extracting features that are characteristics of each song and then storing it in a database', each app is able to compare the characteristics of the song being listened to, and compare it to songs in its database until it finds a match. Machine learning and algorithms help us identify songs, and these same technologies are shaping the music we listen to in our spare time. AI is playing a role in driving recommendation engines behind leading music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora.
