ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. There is no other set of musical analysis data that even remotely approaches what we’ve created.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. “Whenever we hear from people in the Music Science department-the folks working on machine learning-they are all so flipped out that they have this vast, multi-million song repository of human-generated analysis to draw on. “As far as I know, we’re still the only service where the human component is still so central. “I think we fit in the way we always have, which is as a total anomaly,” says Pandora Music Analyst Scott Rosenberg. We talked to several analysts, past and present, to get a sense of how they work today, 20 years after the Music Genome Project’s inception.

Many aspects of how streaming music platforms provide song recommendations has shifted to computers and machine learning, but not all. Remarkably, music analysts are still listening to songs today. Pioneered by founder Tim Westergren, the Music Genome Project had humans, in the form of skilled musicians, listening to songs to uncover and annotate their musical attributes. From 2000 to 2004, the company focused on building out its music-recommendation technology, the Music Genome Project. Before Pandora’s personalized internet radio service launched in 2005, there was Savage Beast Technologies.
