Google Play Music adds machine learning for better recommendations

Google Play Music is getting a much-needed overhaul starting this week, both inside and out. Its Android, iOS and Web apps are getting a new interface that's powered by machine learning to recommend music based on what you're doing and where you are. TNW NYC is our New York technology event for anyone interested in helping their company grow. You've probably seen Google Now deliver contextual cards with information relevant to your location and activities like flying, visiting the gym and commuting. The company's music service will now use those smarts to bring you suitable playlists for every activity it can reliably detect.
